Described as the ‘Queen of Hip-Hop and RNB,’ Mary J. Blige is one of the most notable singers of the ‘90s, and of the present time, and today we venture inside the heart of California to explore her very own abandoned mansion. Built-in 2003, this marvelous estate boasts a 55-foot backyard pool, with a 75-foot tall waterfall spanning down the whole backyard,, not including the 10,000 square feet of living space the mansion holds inside. Mary Blige rented the property for a whopping price of $30,000 a month for various years and filmed various music videos inside such as ‘Last Night,’ featuring Diddy and Keyshia Cole. However after problems between Mary and her at the time husband Kendu Isaacs, the property was vacated, with no luck finding new tenants. However, this luxurious haven took a dramatic turn in recent years, becoming the backdrop for a different kind of film production – adult films. As we explored the property, we came across a stunning discovery; a pristine DeLorean hidden in a small secluded garage in the neighboring woods. Once a star in those films, this iconic car now gathers dust but remains untouched by vandals. Now, the home and property sits abandoned and has started to fall apart more and more by the day. So join me today, as we explore and see what's left.

The story of this abandoned castle mansion is a strange one. Originally built in 1973, this massive 9000 sqft mansion sits on 6 acres of beautiful property. The castle last sold in 2007 as a fixer-upper for 1.6 million dollars and since has been lived in by many different people. The address has also been registered under several businesses of the people who lived here, one being a contractor who incorporated his business in 2010 and dissolved it shortly after in 2013.

The last tenants of the property were leasing the home. It's unsure when their lease started but it's clear they were unable to make the payments. Tossed throughout the home are empty boxes of designer clothing, shoes, and jewelry. Receipts show the family spending upwards of $4000 on clothes on one trip shopping. Facing massive debt from their lease and inflated lifestyle, the family abandoned the home sometime in 2021 leaving behind almost all of their possessions.

For the next few years, the home sat abandoned and in limbo, as the leasing company attempted to find the family to collect the 14 million dollars in debt they had incurred. In 2023 the Bailiff company took possession of the property and all of its contents.

While exploring, another explorer was held at gunpoint by the apparent owners of the property. They questioned her presence at the home but ended up letting her go without issues. She noted that they resembled the men from the photos left in the home. For this reason, I have blurred the photos I found just, to be safe.

It's unclear what the fate of this Castle Mansion is, but for now, lets take a look at what's left behind.

I apologize if the camera work was a bit fast throughout this video,
I was nervous here and wanted to get through this place fairly quickly

Nearly 20 years ago, police and the fire department were called to this house and when they arrived they found a garage engulfed in flames. After the fire was extenguished authorities found human remains that were later determined to be the last owner of this home.

A homicide investigation was launched but to this day, the crime still remains unsolved. And the house has sat abandoned and decaying since then.

In this episode, I'm taking you inside of a place unlike any I've ever explored. What we found inside of this mansion was absolutely bone chilling and the story of the heinous events that took place here is quite disturbing, to say the least.

Built in the early 90's this mansion's existence began as a seemingly normal family home as a father, wife, and their son and daughter all lived here. The father made his wealth through the party and entertainment industry as he owned two stores that sold party supplies and hosted most of the major events in the area.

But in 2010 tragically, his wife passed away from breast cancer and that's when things took a dark turn. Not long after her death, he began directing and even participating amateur adult films. All was well until it was discovered he was luring unassuming woman to his house, often using his money, power and drugs as a way to entice them. And when they got to his home, he was secretly filming his sexual acts with them and selling the tapes.

Fortunately, his luck wouldn't last long as almost immediately the local authorities were tipped off about is illegal sexual exploitations and his house was raided. Inside, they found dozens of home made sex tapes of his victims along with a considerable amount of cocaine.

He was indicted on charges of voyeurism and possession of narcotics. He was only sentenced to 6 months in jail but his legal debts and shattered reputation forced him to move far away and leave everything behind.

Like a crumbled empire, this house now sits abandoned with much of his belongings from the past still inside.

So let's step inside of this place and let's find out what's left behind.

In this video, we explore an abandoned house that has been left untouched since the 1990s. The house was once owned by a well-known writer, but now sits in disrepair, forgotten by time. As we step inside, we can see the remnants of the writer's life scattered throughout the rooms. Books, papers, and personal belongings are left behind, creating an eerie and nostalgic atmosphere.

In the unbelievable world of abandoned buildings and retail stores closing left and right, no place is safe these days from massive corporations and companies closing their doors for good, and this massive casino cruise ship is no exception. In this episode, I'll gain access to the inside and show you what's left behind.

So I hear there's this massive casino cruise ship in an abandoned boat graveyard, and I should be approaching it soon. It's one of the largest abandoned casino cruise in america and I cant wait to bring you along inside.

This stunning second Empire house was supposedly built around the mid 1800’s sometime after the civil war for Western Dime Novel Author Ned Buntline. The man lived a very fascinating life supposedly meeting Wyatt Earp and some of the most famous names of the Wild West. I would encourage you to google Ned Buntline if this interests you because the man lived a very interesting life and I couldn’t possibly sum up all the strange and bizarre stories I’ve read about the author. He moved into this house with his fourth wife around 1871 and would live in this home until his death in 1886. He would name the house Eagles Nest after seeing two eagles nearby nesting in a tree on the property is the rumor. The house passed through multiple owners after Ned, sadly the house would end up vacant most of the later half of the 20th century only being used for storage. I spoke with a man who collects the maple syrup from the trees all around the property, and he said he made an offer to buy the house 30 years ago but was told it’s in to bad of shape, now 30 years later and the house is completely collapsed in the center of the mansard roof. (If you were curious what the blue hoses on the trees around the house, it’s maple trees and syrup being collected) big thanks to the neighbor for chatting with me and explaining about the maple syrup. Much appreciated good sir! Absolutely loved this house, so much beautiful architecture and history wish it could be saved. Thanks for watching! Like and leave comment if you enjoyed! Thank you!

Have you ever lost someone you love and wished you had told them how much they meant to you? I know I have. It's important to cherish the people we care about before it's too late. And today visit an abandoned mansion that reminded me of how quickly things can change. In an instant we can go from our highest highs to our lowest lows. And this place is a testament to just that. Filled with memories of a past life to only be forgotten forever

Today we're taking a look at an abandoned mansion with its very own private island guest house. This place was built in 1941 and owned by a man we'll call Robert. Robert was a businessman and part of the United States Air Force in his younger years. He thought this place would be perfect for his family - his wife Ellie and their four children. Ellie was a stay-at-home mom who cared for the children and the estate, while Robert built up his family's fortune. But one day, in 2002, Ellie collapsed from a heart attack in her late 50s and ultimately passed away. This left Robert devastated. Even though he tried to live in the home by himself after all of their children moved away, he couldn't stand to be in the place where the love of his life took her last breath. So he left to be with his children, and the mansion has sat abandoned ever since, with many memories left behind. So come with me today, and let's see what's left.

This unique old farm house was built sometime around 1890-1910, couldn’t find a clear date in the records. The original family this house was built for lived in a much more modest older house from the mid 1800’s which sits next door crumbling away as well sadly. This place had some beautiful victorian architecture like the hand carved newel post. And some other neat old features left. Was surprised how packed it was inside. Thanks for watching! Glad to have documented this historic old house before development and new houses erase it completely! Leave a like and comment if you enjoyed! Thank you.

Weeding helps maintain biodiversity in gardens by preventing invasive plant species from outcompeting native plants. Besides, they make a house look much worse than it is.

Fortunately, Cleanup Free 2T teaches us that with a little skill with a brush cutter and a coat of paint, you can bring a house back to life.

This beautiful old house was built in the early 1800’s for a German family who moved to the united states in the late 1700’s eventually settling in South Carolina. The house was supposedly built around 1820-1825. The family farmed cotton,sweet potatoes and timber as well as other crops. Its isolated location protected it during the civil war and out of Sherman’s march to sea. Sadly now it seems the land is being developed all around, the fate and future of this house seems uncertain if it will be saved or torn down. Hopefully it ends up saved, glad I could document this historic old house. Thanks for watching! Like and leave a comment below if you enjoyed! Thank you.
