The Arnold House

[bagaauwk]

2 people died here this week.

[Proedge352]

@bagaauwk how did they die?

[sniper152]

the music killed the video, I had to mute it to enjoy the visual.

[bagaauwk]

@sniper152 too bad. its either music or silence

[KTraska82]

@sniper152

It gets better after :34

[kawicrash]

What was this place?? It looks like it must have actually been nice in its day.

Buddy better be careful on that tile roof!!

[ForefitureServices]

@kawicrash this was a nurshing home; two scrappers where killed init on monday and where just found this after noon by other theives looking to steal scrap metals

[shellystonespoop]

you need to come to East St Louis...

[quiksilvermanblue]

miners have hit the place hard

[bagaauwk]

yeah its not nearly the same now

[druchane]

the beer drinking redneck house.nice what song is that.

[bagaauwk]

fade to black by metallica

[jgbaren]

Hell yeah! Let's drink some beer and climb around on the edge of a 4 story roof! That shit is hard core. I think I have vertigo now after watching that. Thanks a lot

[BREN70S]

dude it must feel weird when you go into a building that ISNT trashed ; )

[bagaauwk]

ahhahahhahha yeah

if u wanna see it in good shape, you gotta see it first ; )

[SouthOx]

did you guys see or feel any presence there or anywhere you have explored?

[bagaauwk]

weve seen cops, squatters, bums, scrappers, drug addicts, other explorers, guards, dogs, raccoons, deer, and coyotes.

we have never seen ghosts or anything if thats what youre getting at. theres no such thing

[jgbaren]

I'll bet you've seen a few big-ass rats along the way

[ghostshot1004]

@bagaauwk  how many times have u been caught

[bagaauwk]

three times. twice in detroit, once in plymouth

[BUSthrowie]

did u see anyone else in there except for you?

[bagaauwk]

scrappers, but they usually avoid us, or bum a smoke and shoot the shit for a while. ya gotta remember that theyre people too, and doing what it takes to survive these days

[DawnLaurene]

Ikr? Amazing how many people think that the homeless, or even city dwellers are going to rob, rape, or kill em on sight, like a scene from 'Escape from NY' or something. I never have a problem with people when I go into city. On the rare occasion that I have, it's always been with suburban punks who come in thinking that they're better than everyone else & really don't have a clue to whats going on.

[rpal10]

is it still there?

[bagaauwk]

yeah but they tore down most of the trees and cleared the debris away from the building. thats usually the first sign of demo. however, detroit is going broke so who knows

[tndrRoni]

what was this building used as?

[bagaauwk]

a retirement home

[Nahue2605]

Hi,i`m from argentina,this building is very dangerous,you really have courage!!,what band is that??,sound`s good

[bagaauwk]

its metallica

[Nahue2605]

ahh,and the sound on the david broderick tower is metallica to??,thanks man

[smiatacz]

What streets is this Arnold House Located??? Also I seen you said something about people doing this from around the country, is there some kinda club???? There are some buildings in the downriver area along the detroit river (w.jefferson)that i have done, but didnt take video

[bagaauwk]

7 mile and southfield. its supposed to be demolished soon, but who knows whats gonna happen.

nah, no club. just a few people i met sharing videos and pix.

[KBWS]

dope footy. hope there wasn't any asbestos floatin around in there.

[bagaauwk]

lol, im sure there was a TON!

[Quantumfoam]

I picked a few bodies up from there when I worked for a funeral home in the 70's.

[westman34]

Can you imagine what it would be like to live here, with all those people?

Some people would say it would be awful, but I would love to see it for myself.

[Wiktorion]

I wonder if Gertrude Binion will ever see her office again.

[finzgar420]

cRAZY MOTHERFUCKER ON THE ROOF!

[bagaauwk]

ahhahaha yeah thats me!

[neo92vip]

are you allow to enter these buildings legally? i'm just asking... that's really cool and a bit creepy to be in an empty building as this one. :)

[bagaauwk]

lol hell no we aint in there legally. whats the fun in that?

we risk life and limb to bring you these videos.

not to mention arrest!

[neo92vip]

the fun is walking in an empty buliding and doing whatever you want to it. :D if you're not in there legally.. what law stops you from being there ?

[ZombieHell666]

maybe to preserve it so others can see it as well?

[neo92vip]

how can you see it when you are not allowed to enter it ? :)

[neo92vip]

btw... i will upload a video from my trip to abandoned factory in poland.. at the begininnig of september :)

[GavinJLang]

Gotta be careful on those slate roofs.....

[therepoman666]

next time yall go let me know im in the detroit area and been wanting to go do some exploring

[stillrob420]

so this is a nrph building?

[bagaauwk]

nah the conversation just turned that way.

sorry

[horktork]

Nice

[bagaauwk]

thanks

[gh7589]

awesome video again!

so i gotta ask...whats your favorite place that you've been to?

[bagaauwk]

fav place of all time?

thats a hard one....

there was a place in northville back in the 80s-90s, and i really loved that place.

but there was an asylum in ypsi that i really loved too.

the packard plant is awesome as well.

[gh7589]

are you talking about nrph? or wasnt there something near sheldon and 5 mile that got torn down? i dont even remember what that was.

[bagaauwk]

yeah, the place on 5 mile and sheldon.

i had a lot of fun at nrph when i was still going, but it wasnt my favorite.

i have a website about nrph...

its at nrph . net

[gh7589]

yeah ive been to that website before, i didnt know you made it! its pretty good!

haha and i was just at nrph a couple of days ago because im not sure when they're tearing it down! :[

[bagaauwk]

yep, its mine....thanks for the compliment.

ahhahaha how is the old girl?

i heard they tried sealing buildings, and filled in a tunnel so you cant get to the main building out front.

[gh7589]

haha she's doing good!

well we only got into the E building, since its the only one we know how to get in, or ever tried. but nothing was sealed. and im surprised we didnt hear or see any security, since we were pretty loud

[bagaauwk]

theres a tunnel under E that leads to d f and g.

i wouldnt be making noise there, people live on site.

[gh7589]

theres a tunnel there? how did i miss that? is it that one room where theres metal stairs? because thats the only room we passed

[bagaauwk]

yeah, in fact i think theres 2 tunnels. its hard to remember exactly where because theres 2 dozen bldgs on the property. but yes , there is absolutely at least one entrance to the tunnels, but i think there are 2 in E

[gh7589]

wow cant believe i missed that! but is it the metal stairs that lead to the tunnels? i'll definitely have to check those out next time i go because i dont know how to get into the other buildings

[bagaauwk]

if you mean like 2 or 3 metal stairs, then yes, thats probably it.

the tunnel is right next to the stairs.

when you hit the tunnel, turn right to get to D F and G. i think if you turn left youll end up where they blocked the tunnel.

i got maps at nrph . net

[gh7589]

one of my friends went down the stairs, and he said he thinks that was the tunnel he saw. so we'll try it next time.

yeah i just added your myspace a few days ago, and i found the tunnel map on there. thanks!

[bagaauwk]

theres a square entrance in the floor, with a ladder going down.

check some of my northville videos, i think you can find it in one of those

[gh7589]

wait, the entrance is in the floor? cause i remember him going in some room that he thought was the tunnel.

and i looked at the video you have for E but i didnt see it. unless i missed it... :/

[stillrob420]

Clinton valley center was the best imo

[lonelyboy03]

Reminds me of an old asylum with the hallways and all.

[urbanlincs]

Man that place is awesome!

Nice vid =)

[HIM193]

Great video man, nice choice of music. Looks like a really cool place to explore.

[Murderermarv]

This is a mental hospital?

[bagaauwk]

was a retirement home or some shit.

i really like the place

[kidjayhawk]

Arnold hasn't had a big hit since T2 and the Gov  job doesn't pay well. I can see why he let this place go.

[bagaauwk]

lmao
