Exploring Canadas Largest ABANDONED Mansion At Night

All right. What's up, guys? Very special freak photography abandoned adventure. Today we are at the Peter Grant Mansion. The largest abandoned mansion in all of Canada. $25 million, $65,000 square feet. Maybe we can light it up. And you can see it behind me here. Maybe not. There it is. We are here with Rhythm Rider. Oh yeah. Right there we got Mo Sargi, Carlo Palosa, and a very special guest. One second, guys. We're gonna show you the guy who bought the Peter Grant mansion, Chris Fisher, right there. All the way from Texas up here enjoying the cold, man. Joining the cold. We got a special invite from Chris Fisher to come check out the mansion together. We're here at night. Chris has not been here for 6 months, right? Yeah. Chris has no idea what he's in for when we get inside. How much vandalism, how much more graffiti. He hasn't been here. So, we're going to go inside and have a first look at how it how it looks, what kind of damage has been done. Then, we're going to come back tomorrow and do a daytime visit. So, thanks Mr. Chris Fisher right here, Carlo Pelosa right behind me, Rhythm Rider, Mo Sarzi, Fretography, cue the music, cue the intro. See you guys inside. [Music] There's a chance I might key and go and get my All right, Carlo is in right in my way. I love it when he does that. You be seat, please. Whatever you do, fall. Chris, can we get ahead of you? Here we go, guys. It's icy. Wow. Oh, man. This is crazy. Oh, look at this. Look at this glass. Holy crap. Yeah. And it's thick bulletproof glass window. Oh, this is what you were saying was around the whole mansion before. Yeah. It's all shot and busted out. Yeah. It's insane. Yeah. Yeah. I'm so glad we bought these things. Yes. Hey, look. I peed here. This is crazy. It's been 5 years. Yeah. Yeah. And look at this. Like everything is just so [ __ ] in place. This is these are window. I can't believe this. [Music] Yeah. Yeah. So, this here used to be glass, guys. Bulletproof glass shattered. Now it's just got plastic covering it. UBC. Look at this wall behind you here. There's a bunch of pictures of you on the wall. It's like the theory of evolution of Carlo. I think it's kind of it's really bad. It's disrespectful, kind of hurtful. So, I mean, if I was him, look at all the ice, guys. Look at this. This is the good part. So, this is the good part. Oh my god. Wow. I would say like this is definitely that's wild. Yeah. Got the elevator here. [Applause] Man, what a difference. My favorite part with the elevator is that the guy that snuck in with bright sun guy. Yeah. He comes over here. Wow, guys. This here, all of these panels here were glass. That really thick glass. and has just been shattered. Wow. This would have been a gas fireplace here. Wonder if this door will open. No, I don't think it's No, that's not going to open. I think it's probably frozen shut anyways. John. This is This might open. That's a fireplace. That's a fireplace. Yeah. I have never seen a fireplace. Yeah. The door frozen frozen shut. Well, at least they didn't break the marble or the stone. Yeah. There's a lot of stuff. Yeah. This fireplace is these fire big. So hot air. And there's one here. There's one downstairs. Wow. Just massive. I mean, I don't know. I mean, that's huge. I'm guessing it was all gas, right? Yeah, it's definitely a custom. I mean, you don't find this on the market. Yeah. I've been to a million mansions and houses and I've never seen anything like this. This is grand. This will be much nicer tomorrow when we're here in the daytime cuz from here you can see outside and there's a lake outside here that we'll be able to see hopefully unless it's it looks like it's actually broken on the other side of the glass the other panel. So you got one panel here, you got another panel on the outside. This one's okay, but the outside panel is actually shattered. Yeah. UVC. Hey, I was told my name's written on somewhere or no. Um, you know what? I think you're right. I think it is. I I think I've seen it, but I don't know where, though. If If this was the place, it might have been downstairs. I think I know what you're talking about. I was told then. I kind of want to see it. Yeah. If I see it, I'll let you know. I I remember that actually. Not the 19. Huh? Okay. Okay, guys. So, again, I'll show you guys the the floor is completely frozen. And so we brought spikes to put on the bottom of our boots so that we don't fall and slip. There's the huge door. And then you got this little tunnel area here or the little bridge that goes across. Underneath this bridge is actually the waterfall. So here's another huge panel of the broken glass. Like you know how much effort it must take to break this glass. So every thing you hear on my feet is actually the spikes breaking through the ice. Okay. So, this side of the building, so this side that we just were on is the living quarters and then this side is more the offices. This was going to be the corporate offices for Peter Grant's company. And then here when we go downstairs, these stairs go down to the pool. There would be a pool down there, and we'll see that when we get downstairs. It's pretty cool being here at night, but you'll get a whole different feel for it when I do the daytime video. There's another elevator right there. Look at the floor. So, yeah, this one's supposed to be the main entrance right here to the uh to the corporate headquarters side, which is where we are right now. Oh, this is the big garage right here. So, in this garage at one point there was a massive generator and someone stole it. And I believe Chris has tracked down who stole it and he's in the process of getting it back. But someone would have had to back up a huge truck and probably bring along multiple very strong guys to lift up this freaking generator. I'll see if I can find a picture of it and include it in the video and show you guys how big that thing was. What's up, guys? Freom Ryder back again. Another epic adventure. These things are really great. Oh, they're so I'm so glad we got these. I don't like the sound they make. So, but we'd be slipping around like crazy. I was going to say, I wonder what is being protected by this plywood. It's marble flooring under here. Oh, this is marble flooring. Take that plywood off. Marble flooring under. Oh, okay. Right there. You kind of see. Oh, okay. So, that's what's under there. Okay. That off your floor. So, yeah. I think you said the flooring was $2.2 million. Wow. Just on that half of the house. Nothing over. So, so what you're seeing here, guys, is marble flooring and the plywood here is supposed to be protecting it. It's pretty bad. A lot of difference. Oh, yeah. All this green writing, too. That's new. Yeah. The green neon, orange neon. That one here, it's all over the house. Wow. There is a guy. What's his name? Uh, we're gonna find graffiti the hell. We're going to find him and his girlfriend. Oh, Chris, I meant to ask you, did you did you get the generator back? No, we the police know where it's at. Everybody knows where it's at. It's kind of them situations where you wait on them to do something, right? Right. Oh, man. Back in Texas, we would have got it. Yeah. No doubt. Right. We would had it. So, I haven't mentioned this yet, guys, but Chris has his own YouTube channel called Mansion Impossible, and I'm going to definitely link that down below so you guys can follow along with the progress of what Chris is doing here. As of today, he's got three videos and they're getting some pretty good views. So, if you guys want to keep up with Chris and what he's doing with this place, hit the link down below for Mansion Impossible. Make sure you subscribe, watch the videos that they've got uploaded so far, and then stay tuned for all the videos that he posts in the coming weeks and months as he develops and builds upon and fixes this huge old unfinished abandoned mansion. This is beautiful right here. So, here you've got a balcony up there and you've got you would have had beautiful natural light. So, the windows right there and you got big windows up there and just a huge beautiful balcony up there. This would have been a really nice part of the building. So, Chris was saying that the the flooring is all I don't know about this side, but over there it's all marble flooring. Marble flooring. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, wow. Here's the main staircase, guys. The main sort of spiral staircase that goes all the way to the top floor. You want to go up? Yeah. Yeah. A bonfire here. Yeah. I'm going to go up. Nice. Staircase. Yeah. It's nice, eh? Main staircase. The main staircase. Yeah. Yeah. Goes from the basement where the pool is. Is it unfinished? Yeah. Yeah. Cuz it's kind of like industrial looking, right? Yeah. Yeah. I guess the ventilation's art. I mean, making curved stuff like this. Uhhuh. And you see it everywhere. I mean, that is up there. And that's why people say, you know, why am I not really upset? I said, cuz that stuff's still good. I mean, that's the hard part. I mean, that's really the, you know, there's stuff on the ground, the wood that be tossed and redone. And we were redone it anyhow. It kind of does. Yeah. You going to say it's a blessing because we would have to pull these walls off anyhow cuz we want to insulate, make them more efficient. I don't think Peter Grant really gave a [ __ ] about his heating bill. We need to God, I would be slipping all over the place in here if I didn't have these things on my shoes. [Applause] All this water. Black mold. I think the original video. Got to be careful, guys. It's slippery. Go see the pool. Yeah, they're a huge help. All right. It's actually pretty dry down here. Surprising how dry it is. It's probably where the change rooms. And then here's the pool right here. [Laughter] Just some water in the pool. Bit of a skating rink. This here is probably would have been a hot tub right here. I'll tell you guys, one of the things that broke my heart the most the first time I was here was this wall. And all of the walls down here have this this sort of brick stonework. And I think about the guys who spent so many hours in this house putting up this brick and this stonework and it never got finished and how much time and effort they would have put in, how many days it would have taken to do this. Anyways, broke my heart thinking about those poor guys. So, I really really hope that with the work that Chris is Chris does that the work that the men and women that built this place put into it that their work is finally able to be appreciated. Cuz this was probably no easy job. And it probably didn't take probably took a very long time to do this. Okay, guys. We're going to take the staircase now. We're going to go all the way to the top and then we'll work our way down from the B from the top. Okay, now we're in the basement. I think the very very top is sealed up. Oh, really? Yeah. [ __ ] I was going to ask you first cuz I could I went to the top and it looked like there was you couldn't pop anything open. It could also be frozen. Well, I didn't see anything that was open. Oh, okay. All right. How's the staircase going? It's slippery. It's very slippery. I didn't see anything. It looked like you open. Oh, okay. If you find if you can open it. Yeah. I'll let you know. You should have got those little. So this here I think this is supposed to be window right here. Super lots of like natural light up here. Okay, so now we're up on the second floor here. I'll show you. This will be so much better in the day. Oh, it's a skating rink up here. Wow. Yeah. So, this here would be nice. Lots of not lots of natural light coming through there. Look at this, guys. It's just like an inch at least thick. It is cold in here, guys. Huge thanks to Chris for the invitation to come here. Get to meet him in person. Spend some time with him. We'll be here with him all day tomorrow with his family, his wife, and his kids, learning all about what they think and their experience here for the first time. Kids have never been here. So, this will be really cool to get the kids' perspective on what it's like to be here, what they think about their dad buying this place. So, this side of the building was going to be off offices and like a showroom for the particle board products that Peter Grant was selling. So his his uh his company invented some kind of uh particle board for construction and this would have been the showroom. And what happened was sometime around 2008 when the housing market crashed in the US and the banks were all getting um or the all the the automotive companies were getting buyouts from the government. housing market crashed, real estate market crashed, stock market crashed. Well, so did Peter Grant's business, and he was forced into bankruptcy because nobody was buying his particle board product anymore. And uh he ended up having to sell give this uh property to the bank because as far as from as far as I know, he was no longer able to continue on with this project. So that's what I know to be true. So where we are now would have been a corporate headquarters and a showroom for his products. There are so many penises on the wall. Everywhere you look, there are penises on the wall. Okay, let's head back to the stairs. Oh, here they are. Right there. Stairs. Okay, we can't Jamie's Rhythm Rider said we can't get up any higher from here, but let's have a look. Anyways, this up here is where I slept. The last time I was here in 2023, I slept up here. This is like the attic, but this here is supposed to be able to push up, but it looks like it's actually been built and you can't push it up anymore. It doesn't have anything to push, so we can't get up here anymore. That's too bad. Unless I can squeak through there somehow. So, there's a look all the way down the stairs to the very bottom floor. So, we're at the very top right now. There is an attic space above us that we can't get to, but that there would be the staircase going all the way down. [Music] You ask for it [Music] sometime everybody want to go for a dip. [Laughter] Want to go for a swim. That is cool. That is really cool. Yeah. Yeah. Shooting up. Can you imagine if there was a body frozen under there or something? Probably this area. Yeah. I'm thinking there's got to be something [Music] you. Yes. Okay, guys. We're going to check out the boat house now. I've never seen those this big. They're massive. [Laughter] What's really been cool is a lot of people did this stuff or the work here have reached out to us. Nice. That's good. That's good. This is what I was talking about when I talked to you about all the time that went in to building this. The poor guys that guys and girls that stood here for hours and hours and hours and put this work together for nothing, you know. And I think it's awesome now that you're doing this that this kind of work will finally be appreciated. Talking to Dave the other day, the last time we were here, a lady asked if she could come down here cuz she washed every one of these bricks. That was her job. That's crazy. Train station bring them in and she washed every single rehiring some of the same companies that worked on this place. I think way it's kind of cool. I think certain people Yes. Certain people I think took feeder to the cleaner. Yeah, I mean I think they saw as an open book and you know I look at my dad and I see laying around overcharged, you know, 15 20 grand and I think they just paid it. They didn't question anybody and uh so it's kind of a fun. I think there's some great craftsmanship if I want in but there's some people probably [Music] knowion Chris just said that Peter Grant when he stopped working on this and he's at $73 million. There's some documents from when it was actually getting construction documents from 2002. Oh yeah. Yeah. back from when it was getting worked on. 2000. Yeah. 2002. Wow. Haley Bar construction site. Oh, wow. And it's got the grand name. Grand name. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty cool. It's pretty cool. Yeah. [Music] Chris said this [Music] entire floor. All right. We're going to head downstairs now. I haven't seen where your name is yet. I've been looking. You know what? I'm [Music] asking downstairs. Okay. He might. [Music] That's crazy. Stealing my stealing my idea. You got a good spot. [Music] [Applause] [Laughter] Even with these things on theater all marble these are all like stone together movie theater. Yeah theater that's what this would have been from the ocean. Get out. So these are from the ocean. Yeah. That's super cool. And the movie theater in here. Okay. I would have flex that is. Hey, I got Yeah, I would have never guessed that with this one. He's got two of them in here. Wow, that's flex. You got two of them. See, I thought this was going to be like a utility room. I thought that this was some sort of like I thought it was a bar. See, this is what happens when you break into places. You make stupid assumptions. Researching all this stuff and learning because I bring you guys back saying Peter's a big architect and we found his book. So there was about well over millions of dollars of art. It's going to go in not just building outside. Wow. We found a book of all that art. So we got that. So this has been kind of a treasure, huh? Finding the history. So good thing the art never came in cuz the locals Oh god. Main living room area. Main living room area. Check. Let's go. some kind of OSVR. I don't know what it is. It's pretty cool. They probably have some metal laying around. All right. Make some If you move something supposed to change, I guess if you walk, something would change or whatever you're looking at. Some kind of art going on here, guys. Different depths. Yeah. Oh, you know what it says? It says abandon. Yeah, they're all different depths. face up. It does kind of look like over here there's some dark. The thing is they probably had different shades before the rust took over. Yeah, but that's all little pieces of wood. Yeah. Oh, that's not metal. It's all his sandwich. Oh, I thought that was made. I thought that was metal. No, little piece of wood. Huh? Oh, no way. I thought that was metal. Never mind that. So, you are done with that. We're cut pieces, put them back in. Are you keeping that? I don't know. I'm save. I would say that based on the the artwork I've seen in the house so far, if you look at this and you squint your eyes, it's a great big penis. You guys were like, "What's he going to say?" [Laughter] Look over here on this wall. there. Yep. So, it's supposed to be like a 30 foot prehistoric shark. It's supposed to go up there for it. Like I said, that's art, you know, you'll never know. Wow. That was supposed to be You see the bolt brackets for that? Is a beautiful shark. Like an actual like a prehistoric. He would have had a prehistoric shark. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Put it right in there up on the wall. Put a picture of Carlo in a mermaid. Carlo picture. Oh, we got another fireplace. You got two big ones like this. Well, on camera, this actually doesn't look that big. Carlo, those beside that. I want to show you for scale. Carlo for scale. The penis for scale. discretion. [Laughter] Don't just go to show you guys how big the car is. [Applause] You're a mess, Carl. Look, you got [Music] fireplace. Yeah. Oh, it's a raccoon. Yeah. All right. Got a ra We got a raccoon sleeping back here, guys. So, we got cameras on site and every night at like 9:00 like clockwork. You go. The raccoon's coming in here. Quite make it out of here. Let's call him Dirty Mike. Hey, Dirty Mike. Where are you? So, what happened here? This is a cigar room over here. Cigar room. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Holy crap. What a mess. Funny. I've only ever seen crates like this in the movies. I'm not even sure what came in those things. raccoon. She's in here somewhere. Look at all this glass. Hey. Wow. That is crazy. Everybody is worth lots of money. Come take it. Yeah. Yeah. And actually sell them off. It's like a puzzle. You could just piece them all back together, right? Glass. Each glass would have four of these together. Have two together and then another space and then two. So four pieces of that are each window. That's nuts. Really? Holy moly. Oh, look at the baby fire. This one is [Laughter] probably not that big. This one's like a 10 foot problem. The other one is pretty big. Lie down. I don't need to do it. Oh, there's a swim truck. You're going to Oh, there's your swim. Your swimsuit going. The calling is going to go swimming. You said you were going to go in the lake. There you go, buddy. Maybe I'll wake up a little warm. Yeah, he said [Music] it. here, wasn't there? No. I thought there was an elevator over here. Oh, what is all this? Everything's stripped. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Damn. Back here. Wow. What a big electrical room. And look at all the [ __ ] Oh, wow. This is crazy. I don't think I was ever in this room. I know. All this pipe. Yeah. Doesn't know what it does, where it where it goes, or what it does. You just have to figure it out. Yeah. I never went down here either. Oh, you know what? The boat house is stair somewhere. Holy. Look at this. This Oh, this is the other uh all the heating stuff. Yeah. [Music] [Applause] All right, guys. We got Carlo coming down the stairs. He's going to fall. He's going to fall, guys. Fall. Fall. Fall. This is it, guys. Here's the boat house. Oh, how did I ever find it before? I guess I did. This is how I came in my first time. Really? Yeah. I came in the the far door over there. Boat house. This is So, from what I've been told, and I think Chris said this, this was actually all that was supposed to be here originally was this big boat house to to house his 65 foot yacht. And then they ended up building on it and making this whole house. And they actually had to take rock. They had to blow blast the rock. You did all the rock. Yeah. I never got up there either. Or was that just a window? Oh, that's just the window from the stairs. Yeah. Yeah. You came through. Yeah. Was that open back there? No, that's how I the No, the that was closed, but that door was open. That's how I got in there the first time. Okay. But there was more water in here. Yeah. This a big ass boat, man. System here. electric up the waves. Yeah. Can you see the rhythm? But you can see the whole thing like little like looks like little kind of like Yeah. Yeah. Like a pistons or something. Not pistons, but it kind of it'll move as the water's in here. The dock will raise and lower. Yeah. It raises and lowers with the water. And look at all the poo there. That is a lot of poo right up here. Yeah. Somebody sitting on the light. Oh, look at that gnarly looking like washroom on the Oh, wow. Wow. We're backing pretty hard right now, right? Yeah. Yeah.
