#caughtoncamera#haunted#shorts We went camping in these woods where there were tons of old cabins and buildings. Nothing could have prepared us for what we were about to experience. Between hearing screams from within the woods to someone showing up to my campsite at 2:00am, this was the most scared I've ever been while camping. The content you're about to watch is VERY SCARY.

We saved the best for last for Abandoned Portugal Season 3! Today, we're unraveling the mystique of a breathtaking medieval castle nestled in the Portuguese mountains, forsaken since 2008.
This castle's roots trace back to nobleman Joao, a revered figure in the late medieval era. Built in the 14- and 1500s, and renovated across centuries, its essence reverberates the ancient fortifications of its time—a testament to historic typology and grandeur. Towering structures, annexes, and a private chapel on the same property adorn this historical marvel.
Joao, a Knight of the Order of Christ, shaped its legacy, yet the castle endured periods of desolation. For 120 years in the 19th century, it lay dormant until life returned. But destiny's whims dictated its abandonment once more in 2008.
Stepping into its hallowed halls revealed an astonishing array— dozens of guns, numerous swords, and even a full-size knight's armor were still left behind. Join us now for an unparalleled exploration into the perplexing past of this castle, a grand finale not to be missed in Abandoned Portugal 2023. Gather your popcorn for an unforgettable journey through time.
journey to rediscover a lost lead mine that played a significant role in the history of mining in this country. Despite providing employment to miners for over 30 years, this mine failed to turn a profit and was lost to the world for over 150 years.
Now, after our recent discovery of this hidden gem, we have the opportunity to explore its tunnels and uncover its secrets. As we venture deeper, we'll encounter stunning stone work that speaks to the incredible skills of the miners who once worked here.
However, our journey will not be without obstacles, as we navigate a dangerous shale collapse that threatens to bring the mine's walls down around us. But with each step, we'll uncover new wonders and delve into the rich history of this once-thriving mine.
So come along with us on this exciting exploration of a long-lost lead mine. A place where history and geology intersect, where beauty and challenge collide, and where the stories of the past come to life. Subscribe to our channel for more thrilling adventures!
This channel is based in the North East of England ( UK ) and documents our explorations of both the underground and above ground workings of abandoned, and sometimes operational mines within areas such as the Northern Pennines, North Yorkshire and the Lake District, sometimes a little further. We now and again throw in some caving too. Our intention is to document these abandoned mines, show how they worked and talk about the history behind them. Unfortunately, due to politics, or the need to preserve the site, we can not always name the mine location. If the location is not shown in the video, please do not ask as refusal to divulge often offends.
THE DANGERS OF ABANDONED MINE EXPLORATION :
****
Abandoned mines contain dangers for which equipment and training are required. Hazards can include false floors, open shafts, low oxygen, poisonous gases, collapsing or rotten structures, explosives, flood risks, bacterial infection and of course, rock falls. NEVER enter alone, ALWAYS thoroughly research your destination, ALWAYS alert a third party to your plans and timings. STAY OUT, STAY ALIVE.
explore we trek through the woods to find some Buried houses deep within....
As we enter we discover decades of untouched abandonment, with pianos, artwork and tons of Religious relics. including the Last Supper by Leonardo Da Vinci!!
Gather 'round, folks, and feast your eyes on the grandeur of this abandoned mansion once the home of a highfalutin (I’ve always wanted to casually use that word) attorney and his family. It later fell into the hands of an ever-ambitious man who was at the time the YOUNGEST MEMBER OF THE FBI. I kid you not.
He would go onto building an empire from within these walls but alas, tragedy struck when his wife passed away, leaving him to fend for himself and make some drastic modifications to the mansion to suit his old age. So let's step inside and take a glimpse into the past - a moment frozen in time, where the essence of Ollie and those who came before him still lingers.

The Lee Bradley residence is a 9,338 square-foot Greek Revival-style mansion constructed in 1907 for attorney Lee Bradley at 640 Idlewild Circle, a Jemison Company subdivision between George Ward Park and Glen Iris Park.
The red brick house was designed by Thomas Walter III with Sidney Ullman. As a nod to his wife Eleanor's Louisiana heritage, the house features a wraparound, two-story gallery supported on 14 Corinthian columns, with a projecting four-column portico.
Bradley died in 1942 and his funeral was held at the house. The house was purchased from the Bradley family by Ollie and Carolyn Smith. Mr Smith died in 2016 and the property remains held in a family trust.

Lee C. Bradley, Attorney
Lee Carrington Bradley was born in Birmingham, Alabama on November 12, 1871, the son of Richard Carrington and Sarah Gurley Bradley, members of pioneer Alabama families. He graduated with a Master of Arts degree from Southern University in Greensboro, now Birmingham Southern College, in 1890, and in 1892, began practicing law in Birmingham. He was appointed Jefferson County’s assistant county solicitor in 1893 and became county solicitor in 1896. On June 24, 1896, Lee C. Bradley married Eleanor “Ellie” Lyons, and the couple had two children together; Lee Carrington Bradley Jr. and Thomas Lyons Bradley.
In 1904, he and John P. Tillman, Judge William I. Grubb, and Hugh Morrow organized the law firm of Tillman, Grubb, Bradley & Morrow. The firm went through a few changes in personnel over the years, becoming Bradley, Baldwin, All & White. Mr. Bradley was a member of the firm until his death.
Lee C. Bradley’s fame as a lawyer was not only confined to Alabama, so when President Woodrow Wilson began looking around for someone to serve as counsel for the alien property custodian, he selected the Birmingham native, who distinguished himself in that office. It was through the instrumentality of Mr. Bradley that the alien property custodian was given authority to dispose of perishable goods taken over by him, which were deteriorating in warehouses and other storage facilities. He suggested to the custodian that he asks Congress to pass the necessary legislation empowering the custodian to sell or otherwise dispose of the perishable property.

Bradley took the matter up with Senator Oscar W. Underwood, Democratic leader in the Senate, who attached an amendment to a bill coming up that day for passage. Senator Underwood explained the necessity and the urgency for the measure, and it passed without question, was sent to the House at once, and immediately passed by that body. Bradley served in this position without pay.
Returning home, Bradley resumed the law practice. He was appointed by Judge Grubb of the United States District Court in Birmingham as receiver for the Birmingham Railway, Light, & Power Company, owner and operator of the street railway, gas, and electric utility system. He was largely responsible for the successful termination of the receivership and the organization of the Birmingham Electric Company, which took over the assets of the Birmingham Railway, Light & Power Company.
Among his other business connections was that of director and member of the executive committee of the Birmingham Savings Bank & Trust Company. Bradley was one of the organizers and for several years a stockholder in the Birmingham baseball club, a member of Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity, the Birmingham, Alabama, and American Bar Associations, the bar of the City of New York, and the Birmingham Country Club. Lee Carrington Bradley Sr. died on May 31, 1942. His funeral was held at his residence on Idlewild Circle and was buried in Elmwood Cemetery.
It is said that their favorite son, Thomas, was home from college and choked to death at the kitchen table on oyster shell shards in 1920. Since then, his mother always had a place set at the dining table for him. After her husband’s death, Eleanor continued to live in the home until her death in 1967, when the home was soon purchased by Ollie and Carolyn Smith.

Thomas U. Walter III, Architect
Thomas Ustick Walter III was born on January 24, 1864, in Norfolk, Virginia, the son of engineer and photographer Thomas Ustick Walter Jr. and Laura Ashby. He was also the grandson of the famous and well-respected architect Thomas Ustick Walter who is notable for redesigning the U. S. Capitol as it stands today. He added the famous Dome and the East and West wings that house the Senate and Library.
Thomas Walter III came to Birmingham sometime in the late-1890s and took on his first major commission designing the first hospital building of the newly established St. Vincent’s Hospital. He opened an office as Thomas U. Walter & Co. Architects on the 4th floor of the Chalifoux Building where the Jemison Flats apartment building currently stands. He provided several designs for Edward Cullom’s Cullom Place development. Soon he was collaborating with landscape architect Samuel Parsons on the design for Glen Iris Park and was the architect of Robert Jemison Sr.’s residence there. He then joined Jemison as a partner in the Glenview Realty Company.
By 1908, Walter had largely given up architectural design in favor of real estate development. He acted as a sales agent for Mountain Terrace as an employee of Robert Jemison Jr.’s company, the Jemison Company. He and appraiser Jerome Tucker derived the “Tucker-Walter Rule” used to determine the depth of residential lots on Birmingham’s hillsides. Walter is also credited with establishing the limits of downtown Birmingham as the area between 13th and 26th Streets and between 8th Avenue North and 8th Avenue South.
In financial trouble, Walter borrowed a sum of money from fellow architect David O. Whilldon, secured by his grandfather’s drawing of the U.S. Capitol dome. Whilldon retained the drawings after Walter was unable to repay him, and donated the drawings to the Birmingham Museum of Art. Walter died on January 31, 1931, and is buried in Forest Lawn Cemetery in Norfolk, Virginia.
Pornstar's ABANDONED Mansion ~ You Won't Believe What We Found Inside!!!
https://www.youtube.com/@JeremyXplores Jeremy In this episode, I'm taking you inside of a place unlike any I've ever explored. What we found inside of this gaudy 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. I'm Jeremy and I explore abandoned places. I document my explorations from around the world to shed light into the dark world of decay. Follow my adventures at:
The Chilcotin has been full of so many beautiful surprises. Glorious views, untold history, pristine lakes and rivers, and a surprising amount of abandoned places. Getting to explore the alpine around Perkins Peak was an amazing experience, but I wasn't going to leave without getting myself up to the summit. This was a big hike, but it is worth every single step when you get to see the views from the top. In fact, the views are spectacular the entire way up, but from the top you can even see Mt. Waddington, the highest point in British Columbia. It was an exciting moment for me to finally make my way to the peak and sign my name in the book, but after five days in the alpine, I was ready to make my way back down.
A couple of years ago, I was told about a beautiful off grid log home, in a very remote location, that shortly after completion had been abandoned. The property still remains in the owners name, but it has not seen a visitor in nearly twenty years. The home was built almost to completion when the owner had passed away, and for whatever reason the family has not shown any interest in finishing the build. This is an absolutely beautiful home, in a world class location, but it is quickly becoming reclaimed by mother nature. I hope that the family will come and enjoy this beautiful property and bring the house back to its rightful glory.
In the region of Istra, about 40 miles from Moscow, stands a towering structure that rises above the forests and marks a technological highpoint in Soviet machinery.
This is the Istra Marx Generator, and it is believed to be the largest generator of its kind in the world. Utilizing a series of electrical capacitors, it was able to turn energy from a low-voltage power supply into intense bolts of artificial lightning in order to test the lightning resistance of Soviet aircraft.
Built by the Russian Electrical Engineering Institute in the 1970s as part of the Istra High Voltage Research Center, this strange installation consists of a maze of tubes and cylinders, similar in appearance to a network of Tesla Coils.
Allegedly, it’s power output was so powerful that it formed lightning bolts hundreds of feet long with more concentrated levels of energy - present for just a fraction of a second – than all of Russia’s nuclear, hydro, thermal, gas, coal, wind, and solar-generated power combined.
In the 1980s, the location was also home to a facility called ‘Allure’, which was built to test and develop large weapons capable of generating electromagnetic pulses to devastate enemy technologies.
However, this ill-fated facility met its end when the dome-shaped structure collapsed, and its commander was banished to a remote post as punishment. He was replaced by Boris Yeltsin, who would later become Russia’s first president.
Although officially abandoned in the 1990s, to this day, the Istra Marx Generator is still fenced off and guarded with dogs. Despite this, a few holes in the fence have enabled urban explorers to venture in, but they do so at great risk.
For reasons unknown, the Istra Marx Generator tower is still occasionally turned on, and explorers report witnessing immense displays of electrical power.
In this episode we show you a never seen before abandoned underground power station. It took me multiple attempts to get inside, but it was worth the hassle! This underground power station was built by the British forces to power their installations in the 1930's. It got abandoned in 1992 and this industrial mammoth is in a deep sleep ever since.
