Doomsday Prepper's ABANDONED Mansion | Found Secret Bunker with EVERYTHING Still Inside

Deep within a secluded forest stands a custom-built mansion, once the cherished home of a doomsday prepper. A man named Bill, who, achieved financial success as an entrepreneur, constructed this dream home in the 1970s. Alongside his wife Evelyn and their two exceptionally gifted children, Bill embraced his role as a provider, ensuring his family received the finest education, with both children graduating from esteemed Ivy League institutions. As a testament to his devotion, he adorned their lives with all manner of luxuries, including a custom pipe organ that graced the living room for his wife. However, beneath the visible basement lies a hidden subterranean chamber, where Bill meticulously prepared for the prophesied apocalypse, driven by his unwavering religious fervor and avid consumption of films centered on the revelations and the imminent return of the messiah. Engaging with likeminded organizations, he would have deep discussions about faith and the impending end times. Tragically, in 2015, Bill passed away due to natural causes, leaving behind a void that would be mirrored by Evelyn's passing, following in her beloved husband's footsteps a mere five years later. Since then, the property has languished in abandonment, frozen in time, with everything preserved within. So join me today and let’s see what’s left

I noticed that you don’t look behind paintings and mirrors, or look for hidden panels. I assure you that a prepper of that caliber absolutely had hidden compartments throughout that house.

Those are not lunch boxes. They are small tool boxes.
The basement as a whole is NOT consistent with a "Doomsday Prepper".
There would be reinforced areas, security doors, cooking, alternate power source, sleeping, sanitation, shower, and entertainment area, racks of food and water stores, etc.
Look for a bunker.

The guy was a holy roller. Ok. But the fact that he was getting prepared early, speaks volumes and truths to what's going on overseas today. This isn't a last minute decision. This just confirms it's nice to have money and at that level you can really get the heads up before something happens. That in itself shows the severity of what's going on today. He may not be so crazy as many thought RIP to him

It looks like the house was ransacked a number of times and Bill appears to have been more of a hardware hoarder than a prepper. I didn't see much for preps and they didn't even have a wood stove. The lower basement would be a good bunker but it wasn't really set up for that, or maybe it was at one time and things changed. It would have been interesting to know the dates on the food cans. Those silver balls look like floats for things like sump pumps. If you don't know what something is, go to the Google app on your phone, tap the camera icon to the right of the search bar and take a photo of the item in question. In most cases, Google will find the same or similar item and tell you what it is.

What these videos make me aware of, is that all the things we collect throughout our years are meaningless when we are gone, yes family takes some things for sentimental value but not compared to what we leave behind…
Even your homes gets reclaimed by Mother Nature..

[amandacook]

It’s so crazy how families can just let a house go like this. It’s so sad.

[Amber-mvwz]

I can understand how overwhelming it would be to try to clean this house out, but I wonder why the children didn't at least hire an auction company to do an estate sale at this house. I realize that to most people most of what was in the basement looked like junk, but I saw a lot of dollar signs down there.

When I watch abandon places videos, I'm always interested in watching if the explorers check lights, water, fridges, phone lines, freezers and drawers. Its amazing how many places still have working lights, etc.

The tool boxes look like a inverter. He put in the metal box probably for the chance of an emp attack. That way he would not have to rewire part of house. It could be portable or movable in case you had to bug out. And the metal balls, is an interesting concept. It could be used as a detourant to outsiders if done correctly it could deliver an electric shock to who ever gets to close to it but this is just the ball only. Cool find.

[jphwife]

I hope someone in the family sees this and it sparks a desire to at least get the family pics out of there. How awful they’re all left behind.

[MystehMonz]

This video makes me want to clean that house. I mean, I know it's falling down but I just can't with the disorganization and everything scattered all over. Most squatters just leave messes. If i were squatting, I'd be the weirdo organizing the photos and cleaning the furniture LOL

I bought a 2001 Nissan Altima from him back in 2009. Really nice old handyman kind of guy. Sad he’s gone. I noticed the driveway and carport straight away, but the newspaper in the picture frame of the living room confirmed to me it was his place. I never went inside but a friend of mine was given a tour. He said the house was completely powered by solar panels on the roof, which would have explained why it was flat and doors leading to the roof. The windows inside were designed to give them plenty of light during the day. My friend was giving me a ride after dropping off my car to be repainted and got there before me, and that’s why he was given a tour. I remember the dog too. These large properties in the woods next to large power pole grid lines are the kind of things that get turned into small suburban neighborhoods.

He had a business where he bought wrecked car titles at auction and fixed them up to sell. If you kept going up the driveway, beyond the pool tucked away there was another garage and large field where he rebuilt wrecked cars. He repainted my Altima again in 2013, and I remember telling him how much I loved the car. Unfortunately I hit a deer in 2017 and totaled it. Loved it so much I bought another Altima, same color, but 2013 from Carmax.

If you are around men that fix things themselves, you will find that they always have a collection of parts, bolts, and screws. You’d be crazy not to have an emergency supply of food stored somewhere today. That “lunchbox” is just how older tool boxes used to look, my dad has one. That black stuff in the glass bottles in the pantry was probably homemade wine. Those Manischewitz wine bottles are everywhere in that house. It’s the type of sweet wine used in a Passover Seder dinner or taking communion. I don’t know where their grown kids would be but that house would be a lot to clean up. It's probably an on going long process.

A lot of times today on social media you’ll see people comment on how good a person you may have known was after they passed. What you won’t hear sometimes is how much they loved God. I’m sad that he and his wife are gone but I’m happy to know that they loved God and were active in their faith.

The silver balls, are a flotation cut off switch when the toilet cistern is refilling. Once the flush happens the ball drops, it is attached to a metal rod, as the cistern fills it floats back up to shut the incoming water off when cistern is full. In the UK you would also have one on your cold water tank in the attic also. Don't panic Mr Mannering!!

[megmills]

Bottom line is you can plan all you want but if you're not leaning on God and you don't knoŵ Jesus as your lord and savior it don't mean nothing

[cassidylopez]

“Sometimes he lets the storm carry on, and calms the child” wow I needed that beautiful reminder. I have to stop to say I appreciate the level at which you’re respecting the previous owners privacy ! 🙏🏼😊

[juliannenoll]

I was blessed to have grown up with a pipe organ in our house. My father had strategically built the house plans to include all pipes & chimes for organ. So cool at Christmas time. My father played well too. Many memories. 😊

[Bronson]

Too bad you can't do a segment on tracking down the family and ask them why they abandoned this house and property.

[juliepoitinger]

BigBankz, you should remember to always carry masks and gloves with you when you go to these homes. As much as you go into these moldy, smelly conditions, you could damage your lungs. And you should wear gloves to keep from touching the nasty stuff. I love your videos. They are so interesting.

[daleslover]

Best recording of these abandoned videos out here, perfect panning.. slow sweep, perfect audio, superb narration. Excellent choice of background music, bare minimum.

[phyllispatterson]

This shows you how quickly things start falling apart when they are abandoned.
