Forgotten Deep In the Woods, a Retro Time Capsule Home Abandoned for 19 Years
Back in 2015 or so @RiddimRyder and I were both searching Google maps, furiously trying to find an abandoned house that we had very few clues to go on. While we were following breadcrumbs that would eventually lead us to that house we were looking for, one of us spotted something interesting.
There was a large remote forested area that seemed to have some kind of a structure hidden way back in the woods, we both tagged it on our location maps to one day check it out.
Fast forward to the Fall of 2017 and RiddimRyder was in the area and decided to check in on this anomaly in the woods. Parking well off site, as we do, Riddim made his way up an extremely long and overgrown driveway. Not just overgrown but riddled with downed trees, making for an interesting hike to the house.
Up this long driveway, the wood panelled cabin looking house comes into view, as well as three old cars, totally covered with years upon years of fallen pine needles
I have been to this location twice, once in 2017 within days of RiddimRyders discovery and again for a return visit with Riddim in 2018.
This place is so well hidden and difficult to access and although we know it has been abandoned for more than 15 years, it still felt that at any moment someone would come home
Based on documents we found in the house as well as the calendars on the wall we determined that the house had been left abandoned around 15 years or so. Also, judging by the difficult approach to this secluded house, no one had been there for a very very long time!
Now in 2020, the cat is out of the bag and 3 years after it’s discovery there have been quite a few explorers here in recent months.
Let’s go back to 2017 and 2018 and relive my explores of this abandoned time capsule house, hidden in the woods and forgotten for nearly 20 years

sometime around 2015
ridden ryder and i were both searching
google maps
furiously trying to find an abandoned
house that we had very few clues to go
on
while we were following these
breadcrumbs that would eventually lead
us to a different abandoned house that
we had been looking for
one of us spotted something interesting
there was a large remote forested area
that seemed to have
some kind of a structure hidden way back
within the woods
we both tagged it on our abandoned
location maps to one day return
and check on it fast forward to the fall
of 2017
and rhythm rider was in the area he
decided to check in on this anomaly in
the woods
parking well off site as we do riddim
made his way up
an extremely long and overgrown driveway
not just overgrown but riddled with
downed and fallen trees
making for an interesting hike up to
this house
up this long driveway the wood paneled
cabin looking house comes into view
as well as three old cars totally
covered
with years upon years of fallen pine
needles
i've been to this location twice once in
2007
just within days of rhythm rider's
discovery and then again
for a return visit with ryden rider in
2018
this place is so well hidden and
difficult to access
and although we knew it had been
abandoned for more than 15 years at the
time
we still felt that at any moment someone
could be walking in
based on documents we found in the house
as well as the calendars on the wall
we determined at the time that the house
had been left abandoned for around 15
years
also judging by the difficult approach
to the secluded house
no one had been here for a very very
long time
now in 2020 the cat is finally out of
the bag
and three years after its discovery
there have been quite a few explorers
here in recent months
today let's go back to 2017 and 2018
and relive my explorers of this old
abandoned time capsule house
hidden in the woods and forgotten for
nearly 20 years

was here with ryden rider two years ago
there's a bit of a hole in the ceiling
and some water damage
but it's in really rough shape now half
of the ceiling in the living room has
fallen down onto the floor
there's much more water damage and
unfortunately
this place has been ransacked by people
uh when we were here
two years ago it was in pretty much
untouched perfect condition
not so much anymore as you're gonna see
so i'll do what i can to provide you
guys with some before and after now and
then type stuff
but uh as we stand i'm just gonna turn
this around
turn my light on and let's just start
walking around and i'll show you guys
what it looks like all right so this
folks is the living room
of the sexy retreat house
now take a look up there and i will show
you guys right now
what this room looked like two years ago
[Music]
okay pretty rough right so let's move on
now into the master bedroom
and uh this room here is shockingly
shockingly ransacked there's a couple of
guitars on the floor there
so right here here's your bed
and uh there's just between this closet
and that hutch and whatever else in
these drawers
everything has been picked through and
tossed
all over the floor it's just a mess
so i'm gonna do a pan and then i'm gonna
show you what it looked like
before okay so here's a pan of what the
room looks like right now
and now i'll post some photos into the
video to show you what it looked like
two years ago
okay guys so let's take a walk around
here and i'll show you some of the stuff
that we've got in this room here
so this uh
bed is just completely covered with crap
there is a picture of a motorcycle
outside the front of the house why we
call it sexy retreat
it's because there is a very sexy
mirrored ceiling in the bedroom
over the bed
now the other thing that thing that
we're going to notice in this house as
we
explore and move around is the massive
amount of pornography to be found in
this house
in the in way of magazines so here's one
called men only
jay's baseball cards here who's that
george bell
check these out eh this is some old
stuff
old toronto blue jays baseball cards
what year are these from these are from
a and p and dominion
so you're looking at like 80s late 90s
i guess that would be late 90s with uh
george bell early 90s that's the same
with george bell got some
condoms on the bed here
[Music]
what else we got keys
probably for the cars outside
got some bbs there's a bb gun in the
basement
[Music]
oh look at this there you go
pair of glasses with the penis
this is been pretty much ransacked as
well
that's uh this was all in very nice
condition when i
was first here with ryden rider two
years ago
got some jewelry in there
coming over here there's some more
magazine
pornography we've got playboy
holiday anniversary issue here you've
got
another playboy right here
we've got a hustler magazine right there
nasty now there's a
play girl on the floor so i guess both
mom and dad in this house both enjoy
their pornography
good for them here's how somebody got in
that's not how i got in but somebody
definitely
broke in that window
we've got a iron horse beer
right there
all right let's move along in some other
parts of the house here
here we've got a bathroom
nothing much to it i'm guessing the uh
house was vacated around christmas time
because there's quite quite
quite a bit of christmas decorations
throughout the house
and here is an office it's an old
wedding photo right there
and then you got all the ladies shoes
here there's the ladies
vanity mirror
and
so she obviously did a lot of sewing
because she's got a lot of uh
material and she looks like she ran a
sewing business out of the house
this is a calendar
for a year it's a fireman's calendar
what year are we looking at here let's
see
2002 firefighter calendar
all right check this out
we got an et doll that's a creepy
looking et
okay so back here there's a guitar case
which is probably empty
because the guitars are in the bedroom
you got your sears calendar right there
and then here's a closet with
some records some old kids toys
bread maker trivial pursuit some board
games
coats
okay all right here's grandma's sewing
machine

[Music]
this was in uh into it well two years
ago this was
really in nice shape this had not really
been picked through
um none of this stuff on top of here was
all had been ransacked through
now it is curious to know if it's
explorers who came in and did this or if
it's just idiots
coming in and being idiots right
all right
here's the dining room area
again picked through a lot of stuff has
been thrown about
this was a really nice when we first
came here there was a lot of stuff up on
top of there
which is no longer up there
in china
all right the kitchen's nice you guys
are going to like this the stove and
there's a really old-fashioned stove
in the kitchen right here finley's oval
stove
finley brothers really nice stove it
actually works it's got a
exhaust up through the roof so i'm
guessing that they did
actually use this and uh
there's your fridge a little table
and there's your traditional stove and
microwave
and some really nice ones this is home
with coke bottles
up there and
some old javex love on loving all this

extremely tight down here as well
okay so we've got a lot of old beer
bottles
down here some records in there
now when i was here last time there was
a gramophone in here
a really nice old record player
gramophone and i think it's gone i did a
quick walkthrough before i started
and i think it's gone so let's go
through here
this room you could easily walk through
two years ago
and now there's [ __ ] everywhere

of his tools and
gadgets pick up this old phone here guys

i'm also in canadian stubby and a
carlsberg stubby

it's so dark in here though
and then you got some more tools some
more of the old man stuff
back here sorry if i'm moving too fast
okay there's one more room in the
basement to go through
and then i think we might be done and i
gotta get some some pictures in here
[Music]
this is probably still even though it's
been ransacked this is still one of the
best houses
i think in the in the area where i live
definitely
still one of the best houses
all right now in here i came in here
earlier but i didn't see it
but this is where i found like the whole
playboy collection
that the old guy had but there's so much
stuff thrown around that i don't really
know where they went if they're still
here
there's a light i can turn on over here
that'll help hopefully if it still works
oh that's good okay so we got light good
all right let's take a look over here in
the corner first

equipment too see that old bike

revealed
what i'm guessing is another extremely
old sewing machine
i don't see a name on it
but it looks even older than the one
upstairs and it's in really nice shape
it's got some cobwebs on it and stuff
but
that is a really nice antique item i
really wish the people who owned this
