Return to the Abandoned House of Toys - Then and Now Comparison
Imagine this, you are in an abandoned house, the kitchen, the living room, the hallways, staircase all full of water damage peeling paint and the smell of decay.
The elements have set in bad and mother nature is in a big hurry to take this house back.
You walk up the rickety stairs and get paint peel-off on your sweater, you pass the open window that has allowed rain and snow and elements to eat away at the walls.
Then you come to a closed bedroom door and you walk into a perfectly preserved teenage girls bedroom, the bed still made, posters on the wall and her Pink Panther slippers still on the floor.
How would this experience make YOU feel?
That is what happened with this house in December 2016, I returned to this house in the summer of 2020 to see how time and years have affected this house.

okay let's get started with a quick what
is up guys in the first mirror that I
see as you guys can see I'm in the
kitchen now we're gonna turn her around
here and get a good look we got a very
droopy ceiling fan here and look at all
the peeling paint guys it's just amazing
how much the humidity and the
temperature changes have really affected
this house I'm really excited to be back
here to explore this house guys because
it's just a really really cool house
these things here have moved around
quite a bit over the years people move
things we've got out of Zellers calendar
from 2007 guys and then here's your
kitchen table still in place
still got the tablecloth on top you got
these old chairs so here's our look at
the kitchen
guys move on over here take a look up
there you got a veg-o-matic food
preparer up there that's pretty cool and
then we head on in here into the kitchen
so I'm guessing there's two kitchens
which is strange because there's a stove
in that room and there's a stove in this
room so this is pretty strange got a
plate on the wall there got all kinds of
peeling of the wallpaper which is
exposing the purple paint behind it look
at that alright and then you got this
interesting wall that they built here
really really strange way to build a
wall got a picture of some bread here
and then there's a really old picture
here check this out a huh
everybody's favorite what is up guys
mirror number two telephone to see if we
got a dial tone guys nope no dial tone
oh look at this beer in the fridge look
at that crazy unopened beer in the
fridge heading on into the living room
again lots of peeling paint and advanced
state of decay looks like we had a
Spanish family living here possibly look
at the ceiling a couple of TV's
interesting light fixture here floor to
ceiling got a little tiny mirror here so
maybe we can give up what is up guys in
the little tiny mirror that's probably
the smallest what is up guys I've ever
done walking through some cobwebs as we
approach the master bedroom big messy
dirty bed guys full of dirt and plaster
and sawdust and paint chips man look at
this big piece of wallpaper from the
ceiling that's just drooping over the
ceiling fan
there was once a photo here of the man
and woman who lived here I don't know
where those pictures went maybe there's
somewhere else in the house but they're
not in this room anymore
there's your dresser what's up guys love
the plaster and drywall that have peeled
away from the wall and ceiling revealing
what's behind all of this wallpaper and
paint peeling off such an amazing
abandoned house guys these are
comfortable I actually kind of wish I
had one of these at my house sit on ah
that's what's on the other side of the
wall there okay so they put a bathroom
here I didn't see this the first time I
came very tiny little bathroom with a
shower some toothpaste and stuff there's
a bar of soap still here and I'm gonna
let you guys do this one nice big door
French blinds vertical blinds are still
in place surprised to see they haven't
been ripped down yet
alright let's go upstairs they'll check
out the staircase guys there is so much
peeling paint going up these stairs here
and all the all the plaster has dropped
from the ceiling onto the stairs
somebody put this doll right here on a
chair to say hello to everybody who
walks in there you go
checkerboard whoo all right so we've got
a few rooms to check out in here oh look
at the hole the roof Wow not a whole lot
has changed in this room so you got that
teddy bear that teddy bear was there
four years ago in the exact same place
Barbie Corvette so here we go guys is
where we're gonna start seeing some of
the things that I found years ago this
here this phone and the Easy Bake Oven
were found in the next bedroom and they
were found inside the box in perfect
condition the light bright which is not
here right now it doesn't look like no
the light right and this box were like a
brand-new box when I first fell I know I
didn't discover this house it was
discovered I believe by my friend Bruce
ground state photography but the people
who had been here before me didn't look
in the closet and all of these toys were
well stacked and put away in that closet
I took them out to take some pictures of
them and over the years people have
found them and destroyed them and moved
them and stolen them and unfortunately a
lot of stuff is gone or has been so
badly damaged that it's just garbage now
it's just abandoned house
so here we got this ceiling with all the
holes in it and everything falling onto
this poor bed here which it's too bad
there's a closet here with some stuff in
the closet we got a picture I wonder if
that's Sandra right there we have Jesus
Jesus is with those guys busted up just
bust out Jesus here there is shut up the
baby Jesus what else we got here picture
of somebody skiing good job
pair of jeans in that bag there and get
fake plants okay let's let's move on to
the next room this is the room guys
where I found all the toys and this room
was in pretty good condition originally
let's just take a look around here again
we've got a wallpaper and paint falling
all over things I've got some tapes here
that Bongiovi tape Dirty Dancing Patrick
Swayze
so now if we come on over here now I
found a lot of things the day that I
opened up this closet and it looks like
some of this stuff is still here and
I'll put on display for you guys in the
video pictures of the stuff that I found
and how I had laid it all out back when
I found it but these I found a bunch of
Barbies here looks like there's only one
left
I found this Smurfette and everything
was nicely stacked right here on this
chair but inside this closet guys is
where I found all the cool stuff right
up on top of this shelf here is where I
found the box with the light bright the
Easy Bake Oven Cabbage Patch dolls all
kinds of really interesting stuff guys
that hadn't been touched or used in a
very long time unfortunately guys now
most of it's all gone nothing in there
there was Cabbage Patch Kids Barbie
dolls a Snoopy phone all kinds of really
cool stuff which sadly has been removed
from this house never got power probably
not I'm gonna doubt it but nope no power
to here guys
take a look down sometimes you got to
look around underneath things to find
stuff guys there's a bunch of stuffed
animals underneath the bed I don't feel
like touching sure you guys you know
understand I don't want to touch stuff
it's gross in here
so anyways this is a really interesting
room moving on over here we got a
bathroom shower curtains falling down
slip the sink fell down it's a big
mirror big door too
we're gonna do this room last this here
guys was wow what a difference this was
a storage room originally and it was
stacked with boxes of stuff and pictures
and so much stuff in this room looks
like a lot of stuff has been removed
we've got a there's an old crib back
there two old high chairs let's see this
is so relatively intact so we'll head on
over to glass there we got a careful
this floor might not be very secure
either but back here guys this box was
actually this box here has a bunch of
old Christmas decorations in it and it
was stacked I believe on top of a number
of other boxes which seemed to have
disappeared check this okay we got a
little fireman hat yeah there's a bunch
of really old Christmas balls and
Christmas decorations in there and then
over here where this Singer sewing
machine is guys there was a gun I think
it was just like a pellet gun and I had
hidden it back behind and obviously so
many people have been here over the
years that it's now been disappears been
stolen it's gone someone took off with
it
let's be careful with all this glass and
on the floor here and got a pasta maker
over there yeah so a lot of stuff has
gone missing over the years guys we've
got some look at this old of Christmas
wrapping paper with candy canes on it
Wow I like these high chairs feeling
there's probably still a lot of
interesting stuff kind of like buried in
amongst things so just take a look
through this hallway here so now we're
gonna take a walk into Sanders room but
what I'm gonna do guys is as I'm
exploring this room and talking I'm
going to overlay photos of what this
room looked like four years ago and the
crazy thing about this house guys is
every single room in this house was
decayed and in really really bad
condition but this room which was
Sandra's room was perfect
no peeling paint you could eat off the
floor the bed was long I mean is still
made but the bed was in really nice
condition
not a whole lot has changed in terms of
the stuff on the wall the posters are
still up but yeah this was like it was
really strange and eerie to come into
this room with everything perfectly
intact while the rest of the house was
in complete shambles it was super super
weird but now over time and weather and
multiples Canadian seasons and winters
and summers this room now looks just
like the rest of the house
and the girl who lived in this room when
her name was Sandra Seymour mirrors in
this house than I thought what's up guys
birthday cards it's always eerie when
the beds are still made for some reason
so this is a look at Sandra's room I
hope you guys have liked the the overlay
of photos to show you the before and
after ok so since we've covered
everything else now we'll go see if I
can get in the basement is it look
outside these interesting windows here
hey
sketchy stairs here we go alright
those who follow me know how I feel
about basements but today I think it
might be a bit flooded I might not be
able to get all the way down to watch my
step here guys
looks like the basement is flooded so I
won't be able to get down there and
actually move around but let's see yeah
we got about a foot of water down here
and it's been very very much tossed over
yeah see they made wine here they've got
some of these things I don't know what
they're called for making wine but yeah
check out you got about a foot of water
so I won't be going down there any
further to show you guys what else is
down there but as you can see not much
to see really okay head back up
