Abandoned Authors Time Capsule House in the Woods With Power - I Turned On The TV
This abandoned time capsule house was once lived in by a German author and artist and his wife, discovered and shared to me by my friend Mike Heinhold . According to Mike, after a land dispute with the adjacent property owner, the house was abandoned in 2017 and all of the homes contents left behind.

In order to not give away the location of this rare abandoned building, I can't get into the specifics of the land dispute.
I have been in many unique and perplexing abandoned homes over the years, however this one may just take the cake for being equally unique, interesting and mind boggling. As you will see from the photos, this home is in extremely bad condition. There are several holes in the roof and three years of Canadian seasons have brought havoc down on every room. The ceilings have collapsed in almost every room, dropping plaster and insulation all over the house and its contents. If not for so much water damage and holes in the roof, this would be a pristinely preserved abandoned time capsule house.
What makes this home such a head scratcher is the fact that it still has power, in fact when Mike explored it and when I explored it, the lights were still on in many of the rooms. As I approached the kitchen, I heard a strange humming sound, I thought it was the fridge but it turned out to be the hood fan above the stove - but there was no stove!

If that wasn't enough to make you wonder, try this one on! I entered the living room and there was a small flat screen TV in front of a chair, I noticed the blue light on the TV indicating that it's plugged in. So I pushed the power button and the TV turned on, and THEN the DVD player started up and on comes an episode of Barney Miller, on a TV in an abandoned house with two huge holes in the roof in that very same room!
As I explored the rooms I got a good feel for the people who once called his a home, they were well travelled, well read, well educated and had a passion for life. Books all over the home on so many subjects, religion, travel, philosophy, classics such as Life of Pi, Little Women and so much more. In the basement was an artists nook with artists paper, pencils, tools of the trade and more.

They were curious, in the living room a very large and valuable telescope sits, still pointed to the sky and in the dining room, a shelf full of books on astronomy.
They were nature and wild life enthusiasts, outside in the beautiful and private back yard there were several bird houses and bird feeding stations, a small pond with a waterfall, benches, gardens and more.
We can only make assumptions as to what happened here and why these people decided to leave all of their possessions and valuables behind, I can only wish that wherever they are, they are still loving life with the same passion that they had in this home.
Thanks again to Mike Heinhold for trusting me with this amazing find!

explored a house
as bad as this one and as interesting
and strange as this one
you guys are gonna see guys this house
is full of the house's original contents
furniture everything but
the house has been abandoned for such a
long time
there's holes in the roof i can hear
animals scurrying about in the
in the ceiling there's still power
in fact right in front of me there's
some kind of a humidifier or something
still running
and all the lights are on in the house
so the house has power
the lights are on but you will see it
there is
no way anybody has lived in this house
for a very long time super weird house

living room of the house
and uh i will tell you guys you are
gonna be blown away
by this house it is crazy
so let's just take a look here here's a
small flat screen tv
and as we move up you can see the light
is on
and i can probably turn the tv on
there's the power button here
look at this guys
that is crazy to think that there's
power
in this house
i am completely overwhelmed in here and
i just got here guys
i think you
[Music]
guys can you believe that the tv works
the dvd player works the guy the last
dvd they watched was barney barney
miller
i almost said barney rubble
now telescopes are not cheap
but this telescope this is like
a mega mega telescope
this thing is massive you can probably
see some pretty awesome stuff in the sky
it's filthy but look at that
this thing here guys whatever this thing
here is
it's running
and this light isn't
there is a lot of german i believe that
the person who lives here was probably
german
judging by the language on a lot of the
books that i'm seeing
it's a big house too
hope i don't fall to the floor
full house complete series mash
complete series on dvd mork and mindy
what's this one that's a book
oh man what else we got sherlock holmes
road to avalon
rescue from gilligan's island gilligan's
island complete second
season wow
planet earth blue planet ferris bueller
monk
oh my god you guys this is crazy
what's in here
uh
okay so let's go room by room guys and
we'll uh
i'm getting a little carried away with
the details right now but what i want to
start doing first
is just go room to room and check the
place out first
before we get into the nitty gritty
details of the different rooms that
we're at that we have here
a set of binoculars right there
and it's another tv
oh there's another set of binoculars
there too i found them on the floor
look at the ceiling guys it's wide open
and then the floor is just covered with
insulation
and bits of plaster and ceiling and then
just scattered stuff
i hear something running might be the
fridge
it's the fan guys the exhaust fan for
the stove
is running
this house is weird guys
what the heck
here's your main front door
okay guys let's head down the hallway
there's a few bedrooms down here
now down here on the floor there's a
power bar
with stuff plugged in and there's a
light right there that keeps turning on
the motion sensor light
and then come in this room
and the lights on
these people loved their 80s tv
wkrp in cincinnati
morgue gilligan's island
what's weird though is that some stuff
in here is newer
okay let's head on over
[Music]
there's a bathroom here
big home roof
and again you can still hear the exhaust
what is up guys what are you guys
thinking of this place this is crazy
drop me some comments down below and let
me know what you guys are thinking of
this
amazing house
oh there's another room there i'll
probably get into that room from the
other side
okay let's keep going
oh man big bed in here
there's so much insulation everywhere
and it's like somebody put these buckets
down
to stop the leaks
too late for that
another motion sensor light turns off
turns on and off
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
so
[Music]
[Music]
so
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
so
[Music]
guys that's a bear repellent right there
that's the second time i found bear
repellent at an abandoned building
first time made sense it was at uh the
brockville zoo
but this is somebody's house weird
i think we've covered the whole main
floor
i pulled this keyboard out from that
bedroom because i wanted to see if it
would work
so i plugged it in
but it doesn't work though it must have
been damaged
at some point and it doesn't work that's
too bad i was going to play you guys a
song
okay take a quick break guys i'm gonna
head downstairs
and we'll continue our exploration in
the in the basement of this house which
still has much more to see
see you guys downstairs
okay guys here we go stairs are uh
covered with insulation so we have to
watch our step here
take a quick look at the closet on our
way down
full of stuff coats
there's a shower head right there
made for as seen on tv aluma wallet
all kinds of stuff
there's a flashlight in there not even
out of the box yet
there is a look from the ceiling
all the way down
and we'll make our way into the basement
again there is power down here there's
lights on
i think there's more books in this house
than any other house i've ever seen
big comfy chair right there

lived here was an artist here's their
artist station
with all their markers and their pens
okay let's go
the path of least resistance through
here i guess
across my camera bag

place for it too in front of a nice big
window

not going in there
i am wearing a mask by the way
for those of you who will be concerned
for my health and safety thank you
oh man i don't even know where to look
there's another basement
here i'm just being aware of the mold
though guys before i go too deep
it just goes into an empty room but as
you can see
i don't want to get too close to that
oh let's move on through the rest of the
house
