Urbex: ABANDONED Reverend's House of MEMORIES!

  • Happy Thanksgiving to all of my U.S. subscribers! This abandoned house I explored is full of history. If one could spend a full day here exploring, they could learn a lot. I was able to gather a bit of information from the names I had found in the house checking with the Ancestory.com website.
    The house was owned by a reverend (Arthur) and his wife (Esther). Arthur was born in 1897 and passed away in 1971. Esther was born in 1893 and passed away in 1997. She graduated from Moody Bible Institute in August 9th, 1923. The couple had four kids together. One was a boy who died at the age of 6 in 1938. The remaining kids' names were Gordon, Dorothy and Donald.
    There was a supposed attic fire in 1988, and the latest calendar date I saw was 1990, although dates on the cassette tapes dated to the late 1990s. Therefore, the house was most likely abandoned shortly after Esther's passing in 1997.
    Regarding the dead animal pictures, one of the sons, Gordon, had a love for his pet ducks, so I'm assuming they were trapped, killed and mutilated in anger for killing his cherished pet ducks.

    Pam, I have to tell you all the information I learned after seeing the series of videos Jake of Bright Sun Films made of this property and one of its former residents! So if the house was originally built in the 19th century its last occupants weren't the original ones. Edith Gladstone, who graduated from that bible college in Chicago you mentioned, married the reverend Arthur Lee (a few years her junior) after graduating from that school in the 1920s, and the family were deeply involved in missionary work in Africa. Ms. Gladstone went on a missionary trip to the continent shortly before graduating and the Lees were mentioned in an article in a Missouri newspaper as having just come back from a missionary trip there when it touted a visit they made to a local church in 1930, which is just two years after their eldest child James Gordon was born, meaning it's not out of the question to assume that Gordon (which is the name he went by) was born during that African missionary trip. Presumably they settled into that house not long after giving that talk, and had either three or four other children. There was one additional son and a daughter plus a third son who died as a young child, and some suspect there may have also been a second daughter in the family.
    Anyway, Mr. Lee passed away in the early 1970s, by which time one presumes Gordon's younger siblings had already moved out and started families of their own, and Gordon and his mother were left alone in that house, though some have suggested they may have taken in foster children, presumably girls, and devoted that entire second level of the residence to those foster girls. They did not abandon the residence at the time of that electric fire in 1988 as Jake and his exploring partners found evidence of people living at that house as recently as the beginning of the 21st century, at which point the house was presumed abandoned. Mrs. Lee passed away in the late '90s and some have suggested Gordon, who was a high school dropout, was a dependent adult and may have only been able to survive on his own a couple of years after his mother's death before being put into a residential facility of some kind.
    Also, all of those audio tapes you saw around the house were all recordings Gordon made of either himself talking, off-air material taken from the news (he apparently had a special interest in the news), or music he was a fan of, and it was Gordon who had that special interest in conspiracy theories. Oh, and he kept ducks (or mallards) as companions and if the raccoons were the animals he felt to blame for the duck attacks he would have probably found it very easy to harm them, as one of the tapes Jake played for the viewers of one of his videos was one Gordon made of a mouse stuck in a glue trap. It's too bad the house was messed with sometime between your visit and Jake's as it caused him to miss out on a lot of the things you spotted on your visit, including those reel-to-reel recordings you spotted that would've probably unveiled a lot more of Gordon's earlier recordings.
    Oh, and it's more than likely that Gordon is still alive because his parents' burial sites included a space for him and also left a space for his information on their gravestone, and while it lists Gordon's parents' birth and death dates it only lists Gordon's birth date. Also, there is evidence someone found that Gordon's sister has passed away but not his surviving brother.
    BTW, while you were able to spot a lot of things that Jake couldn't spot during his visit(s) he or his exploring partner Brennen did discover a secret, hidden tiny bedroom on that second level just beyond where you spotted that attic space, and it was about half the size of the smallest upstairs bedroom you spotted. Anyway, just wanted to let you know what I've found out about this property and its final residents from other sources. Edit: also, you know how you found that "Prayer for the Epp family" postcard? Edith and Mary Epp, presumably the matriarch of the Epp family, were in the same graduating class at that Bible college they attended!

    • @Armodeus78
      @Armodeus78 Před 3 lety +2

      Gordon Lee is probably dead by now, otherwise he would be in his 90's.
      The stonegrave with the names and dates is no evidence that he is alive. You really think that the county would bother carving a stonegrave with his name? With nobody to reclaim his body and pay the expenses, they rather throw the corpse into the common pit. Most probably was incinerated and disposed.
      The noose at the end, with the chair and the stain on the floor make the suicide hypothesis real.
      He lived with his mother Esther until she died in 1997 at the age of 104! after that he was completely alone and probably broke. Around 2 years later he allegedly committed suicide, died due to age or was taken away by social workers.
      In the case he died at home, I would not be surprised if the police were the first to trash the house looking for "clues".
      Most likely his brother Donald is dead or too old. If he had nephews, they might be unaware or do not have the money to get there and reclaim the property, nor want to go near a house where some relative allegedly committed suicide. Besides the property might be intestate and in deep debt due to unpaid taxes.

      Unless one leaves a legacy or has children. Apparently this Gordon was a recluse. Never married (from an audio tape BSF played). Still, this really drives home the point of just how temporary and fragile life really is and how people can be so comfortable in their discomfort.

    9:14 "slashed poultry" There have been a few occasions where the neighbors dogs had come onto our place and killed our ducks/chickens. We had to take pictures of the carnage to show the authorities so we could get the neighbors to get a handle on their dogs. Dogs tend to maul birds, like you see in those pictures.

    Best one yet. I can't stop watching. There's something very apocalyptic about these videos. My wife is very much into pictures and videos and seeing these people were as well makes me wonder where all the things that we accumulate in our home will one day wind up. You can see the care that went into so many things in this home and to see them just totally abandoned is disconcerting. There's no way I could ever do this the way you do. You have so much integrity. I would have to pick up something and bring it home. A movie or an audio cassette just to maybe hear their voices. This one was particularly enthralling.

Couple this with the religious books, diplomas, etc it really is out there. Thanks for the trip into the "twilight zone".

    I have been watching these for only a short while, but this is the best I have seen. I love exploring and photographing old buildings and this one would provide some great material. To think that there was a time when a young lady thought the world of those dresses, and loved her parents for painting her room pink. And then to think, it was not just one, but at least, three girls. Those old televisions were just lost in time, and especially the first one you saw in the bunk bed area which was also pink. Time takes on a whole new meaning in this house and you captured it essence perfectly. Thank you for sharing this!

    Those pictures of the dead animals and birds were really revolting - hopefully there was a taxidermist living there *shudder*. So much 'stuff' - it would be interesting to see what is on those films and slides.

    They had to experience it all, through photos, TV, music and self expression it was clear to me; that they where a close family; unfortunately...families today don't share the same values...this is my favorite tour so far...thank you for all your hard work in filming it.

    Really enjoyed the video and so interesting.
    Something that surprised me though was the calender on the wall with the poem ('Bless this house, Oh Lord we pray' one). When my partner and I bought our house and were exploring around we found a metal engraved plaq in the basement with the whole poem on it.

    I really enjoyed that. I felt like I was there with you. It's so interesting to get a small look at another life in a different time. I have never had the opportunity to explore an old house like that and may never get the chance, so thank you so much for sharing that with me. What a great way to spend my lunch break!

    This is the best of these type of videos I've seen. Usually these old houses are empty,,, now so happens I'm a record and old record player collector, also have an antique TV in my house from 1950... when you found the first record player my mouth dropped and by the 3rd I was like, OMG...! lol, thank you.. this was just awesome to watch!

    I'm about half-way through this explore when beginning these comments. It would be interesting to know what happened for the family to leave all their things like this. The roof seems sound. The building could probably be restored. But, all those pictures, slides, reel-to-reel tapes, and, books! So sad to see these treasures abandoned. The overturned chair and noose were disturbing. Great explore. Nicely done with respect. I'm glad I re-found your channel. Cheers from North Tonawanda, New York. Thank you for sharing a part of your day with us.

  • @Kittydoc90
    @Kittydoc90 Před 9 lety

    Thanks for posting the new video, Pam, and lol on your "intro!"
    This has to be one of the coolest houses for all the artifacts left behind-I think I would have had trouble ever leaving because I would have been checking out every book, every photo, every record, etc., etc. So sad that what's so terrifically important for us to covet and save for and buy today becomes tomorrow's "stuff," not worth keeping even if it's direct family history like the photos and the reel-to-reel tapes. It makes me wonder what we can do that will really keep us alive in people's hearts when we're gone since it certainly isn't our "leftovers." You're sure doing something by spending your time and effort to document these places and then giving this work to a bunch of strangers out in cyberspace. You certainly will be remembered and appreciated by a lot of us-you're one of the gifts for which we're thankful!
    Happy Belated Thanksgiving and thanks for your good wishes to us Americans!-Cristina

    • @TikiTrex
      @TikiTrex  Před 9 lety

      That is so very true, Cristina! I couldn't have said it better. It's something we don't think about until we see places like this. And it really was difficult to leave. If I lived closer, I'd probably be in there every day off-camera (for ease of "snooping" lol) as it would probably take multiple days to go through everything. Thank you so much for the very sweet words! It truly means a lot, especially to have awesome subscribers such as yourself. :)

    Wow Tiki a truly amazing find! At the beginning of the video from the outside looked much smaller than it actually was loved all the old TV's I have an old TV similar to the one at 28:15 mine is a Zenith from 1956. Nice job with the research it's not often when we can do that. Outstanding Job on this one! Thanks so much for sharing!

      Thanks so much, Jason! That's pretty cool you have a TV similar to that one. Yeah, it's always great to find a place with enough clues left behind to research with. I find that just part of the fun of exploring. Have a good Thanksgiving! We celebrate ours in October.

    This video is wonderful! It is authentic and everything is actually old. So many videos of this type show a house with dates from 2012 and peeling paint like its been abandoned for decades. Just doesn't ring true to me. This one is REAL. Great find and I love the way you narrate. It makes everything so much more interesting. Good job!

    @Dathan Před 8 lety +5

    Interesting. Thanks for sharing. Sad but that is the way our possessions end up for many of us. I bought a home built in 1988 and the woman that lived there died of cancer but had been successful working at Shell Oil here in Houston. She apparently had not ever been married or had children. The family took valuables but left her diplomas on the wall, so many photos, etc. I bought house and contents because no one wanted to hire it cleaned out. I got $1800 for all the stuff and that's after paying to have it cleaned out. So sad but true.

    Finally was able to view this all the way. A couple of other times when I was in the middle of it, lost Internet connection and after it came back, this exploration was gone. This was a most interesting find and the history you gave added to it. Almost cried seeing that old piano destroyed. Had an old upright as a kid up until 1973 when I was 25 years old. Always loved the piano and hate seeing old ones torn apart. Really enjoyed this as it's another great job, as usual!

    I just stumbled upon your abandoned houses videos and enjoy them very much. They remind me of when I was in grade school, and me and my friends would enter and inspect some abandoned homes in our neighborhood. I remember one old Victorian house had lots of cool stuff in it. This was in 1960. The people that had lived in the house were in there 70s, as I found many WWII ration booklets with their names and dates of birth, etc. I still have the old news papers, magazines (all headline issues of major news events, like the Hindenburg disaster, etc.) that I took. Plus, I found a brass pin back 1864 daguerreotype "Lincoln For President" campaign button which I still have to this day. Even at my age now I still like this kind of stuff (rummaging around in an abandoned house) -- or at least watching videos of it!

      @jeanzyc.5103 Před 5 lety +5

      I.C. Wiener 😯 I'm going back to notice things I didn't see. I really think that's not a joke. It explains why people would leave not just pictures but so many antiques. There's many left behind at other places too but just think about the trouble you'd have to go through to do that for something someone may not even see. All of it wouldn't make any sense.

    I was so happy to see that you had uploaded! When I saw it was a 30 minute video I was over the moon. This place was so fascinating. My dad was a minister so I could just imagine those tapes had sermons and singing on them. :) My dad passed away almost 5 years ago. We have a huge assortment of cassette tapes, and 8mm video cassettes of him preaching as well as many others. It is so wonderful to be able to go back and listen to them. It makes me sad to think that family members would have left such a treasure.

    From looking at the various rooms and what was in those rooms looks like a family must have lived there you can imagine the many Christmases, birthdays and other occasions that have been there over the years.
    Clearly, music was a feature of there lives with the number of record players, records, cassette tapes and even reel to reel tape certainly a step back through musical time in these formats, yes, I think you are correct must have been a few girls there (pink) rules ...
    Just so sad that previous visitors have trashed a family's memories and belongings ... I wonder if they came home and found there property smashed and throne all over just imagine there rage but its o.k. to do it to some one else's.
    Its good to see that anything you touch you take real care to place where you found it from, shows thought and caring for other people's property.
    Again really well videoed so easy to watch and listen to, thanks for sharing your find.
