00:00Go! Go! There was definitely something there. Honestly, honestly. Go! Go!
00:10Kyle is best known for creating creative content, but on this occasion he and a
00:16friend decided to push themselves into something completely different by
00:21exploring an abandoned cinema in Harbourn, with rumors surrounding the
00:26building and reports claiming it was haunted. The tension was already high
00:31before they even stepped inside. After finding a way in, they slowly began
00:38exploring the decaying building. That's so sketch. There's people just there as well.
00:43You gotta be so quiet. There's a car wash that's just there on this corner and to
00:49get into the window that we need to get into, we have to like, they're gonna see
00:53us get in. I'm about to go check when they close because if they close soon
00:56it's gonna make it so much easier for us to do this without getting spotted.
01:00I can't believe it, but we actually made it in. We climbed through this tiny window.
01:05It was so sore, I cut my ear. Look how tall it is.
01:08I can take this spot. We had to jump down from there. It was so much hassle, but this place
01:13is so freaking sick.
01:14Here look, so I'm pretty sure this used to be like, I don't know, it would look down on the
01:19floor below.
01:20Oh, you're... Yeah, it says do not stand on this area. Don't stand on it.
01:24Or, first one to do backflip on it. Ladies. Hello. Oh, that's so sketchy.
01:34Yo, I wonder if they watch Plan Zero. Yo! There's pigeons. I don't know if you guys can hear them.
01:42But it sounds like people.
01:46Wait, shh, shh, shh, shh.
01:52Whoa! Whoa! What is that? What the f**k is that?
01:57Whoa! What the f**k is that?
01:58Whoa! What the f**k is that?
02:01Oh, it's so sketchy. There's just noises. Oh my god, it was my shadow. There's just noises everywhere. It's so
02:08sketchy.
02:15Every room showed years of neglect.
02:18With peeling paint covering the walls.
02:22Damaged ceilings hanging overhead and the familiar smell of decay lingering throughout the cinema.
02:28You hear that? This place.
02:30The deeper they ventured, the more uneasy they became.
02:34Before long strange noises began echoing through the empty building.
02:39Leaving the pair questioning whether they were truly alone.
02:43This place, dude. This place is weird.
02:47What the f**k?
02:49Bro, did you can hear that? Did you hear that?
02:52What?
02:55No, look. Here, here, here, here.
02:57Dude, this thing.
03:01Have you been up here yet? Have we been up here?
03:03No, I don't think so.
03:04Dude, I swear to God this came around the corner.
03:06We can't be freaking here like this.
03:08Well, look, I swear, did you not hear it?
03:11There's no way it fell off of that.
03:14Did you not hear it?
03:16I don't know. I thought it was you.
03:17I heard a noise but...
03:19Where does this be? Dude, this is...
03:21You f**king me.
03:21I'm not joking, I swear.
03:23You got it.
03:24Don't be f**king me.
03:25What is...
03:25Is this just the room I think?
03:28Yeah, see, this is the room I think.
03:29The window, we were here.
03:31Well, it can't be almost right down there.
03:35You're f**king me.
03:36Because now I got chills.
03:38I swear, I'm not joking.
03:39I'm not joking.
03:40Look, I'll watch the footage.
03:41Dude, I mean, you've seen it, right?
03:43You've seen it.
03:44I still, I feel like you've set this up somehow, but I'm really not trying to stay around.
03:48I swear.
03:49I swear, I'm not joking.
03:50We're going, we're going.
03:51And it's going to be difficult to get out the...
03:54Oh God.
03:56It's going to be difficult to get out the window.
04:02Then something was thrown from one of the unexplored rooms.
04:07Startled, they cautiously made their way towards where it had come from,
04:11expecting to find whoever had thrown it.
04:14But when they looked inside, the room was completely empty.
04:20Moments later, the situation escalated.
04:22I'm not trying to...
04:23Well, let's just go.
04:24Let's just go.
04:25What are we going to use?
04:25Maybe this?
04:28Oh.
04:30Dude, this is so...
04:31Oh my God.
04:34Look at this.
04:34We can get...
04:35We can use this to get out.
04:39Look, shine the light in there.
04:41Look at that.
04:42Come on, let's just go.
04:43Yeah, let's get it.
04:43Let's get it.
04:47Dude, you've got me f***ing hyper...
04:50You've got me hyper aware now.
04:52Creepy.
04:52If you don't know where this is, this is in Harbour in Birmingham.
04:54And it's this old theatre cinema.
04:57I've never like read up on the...
04:59What?
05:03What?
05:04Dude, what?
05:05No, you...
05:05We need to go.
05:08Go!
05:08Go!
05:09There's definitely something there.
05:10Honestly, honestly, go.
05:11Go.
05:12What?
05:20If there was a homeless guy, he must have been there the whole time, dude.
05:23Maybe he just saw that we were in there, and he was like, you know what, I'm gonna...
05:26I'm gonna...
05:26I'm gonna mess with these guys.
05:28Well, whatever it was, the way it ran at us, honestly.
05:30If he was a homeless guy, he was trying to scare us, and...
05:32Or rob us.
05:33Or...
05:33Maybe he was sleeping, maybe he was messed out or something, and he...
05:36I don't know.
05:37Someone inside the building suddenly began chasing them.
05:41The cameras were quickly lowered as the pair sprinted back through the building and all
05:46the way to their car, focused only on getting out safely.
05:51Whether they had encountered a squatter or someone with far darker intentions, they'll
05:56never know.
05:56But one thing came certain that day.
06:01Exploring abandoned buildings can become dangerous in a matter of seconds.
06:10The Excursionists is a YouTube channel run by two urban explorers from the UK who have
06:18spent years documenting their adventures inside abandoned buildings.
06:25Over the years, they've had their fair share of unsettling moments, but this exploration
06:30quickly became one of the most terrifying experiences they've ever faced.
06:37Their plan was simple.
06:39Head out in the evening and explore an abandoned insurance building.
06:46It's like a bomb.
06:47It's this crazy community.
07:11It's like a bomb!
07:23This place is so venomous, very interesting.
07:40This place is falling apart.
07:44It's amazing.
07:52The lost skylights.
08:04After finding a way inside, they cautiously began searching room by room,
08:11taking in what had been left behind, before long strange noises started echoing throughout the building,
08:19immediately making them question whether they were truly alone.
08:33Upon reaching the top floor of the building, we heard some more noises that led us to further question whether
08:38we were alone.
08:39...
08:48...
09:05Stop right there.
09:07Stop right there.
09:14Stop right there.
09:23Can we stop that, so we don't shit ourselves out yet?
09:32The reason we're being so cautious is we heard voices when we first entered the building.
09:38Just telling the members, the reason we're being so cautious is that we heard voices
09:43when we first came into the building.
10:01I'm going through all this again to get stills.
10:06The deeper they ventured, the heavier the atmosphere became.
10:11Every floor they climbed and every room they entered was met with more unexplained sounds,
10:18each one louder than the last, making it increasingly clear that someone else could be inside.
10:27Realizing the situation was becoming too dangerous, they decided it was time to leave.
10:32Then they saw it.
10:49Just be friendly.
10:51All right.
10:55Yeah.
11:02There's a lot of food here.
11:14Hello?
11:38There's no heat in here, is there?
11:42There's no heat in here.
12:03one of the rooms stood another person. Without stopping to find out who it was, the pair
12:10immediately turned around and rushed out of the building, not looking back for a second.
12:16Finding yourself trapped inside an abandoned building with a complete stranger is unsettling
12:23enough, but never knowing who they are or what their intentions might be is what makes
12:30encounters like this so terrifying.
12:36Inspecting abandoned properties is all part of the job for this group of property workers.
12:43They regularly enter neglected buildings to assess their condition and prepare renovation
12:50estimates, usually arriving, completing their inspection, and leaving without incident.
12:57This particular job, however, took a completely unexpected turn.
13:03I got another property for a client of ours. They are out of New York. They found this
13:07one. They said, let's write it up. Let's get an estimate on it. We know their budget. I'm
13:10pulling up. I see all the windows are gone, front, back, side. That's before we even get
13:14inside. So let's see how we look inside.
13:17That's your burner phone, Brandon.
13:18Oh, yeah?
13:19I don't know about the batteries, though, if those were taken.
13:21Oh, batteries are definitely worth taking. You can see already, even the steps. We're
13:25not even in yet, right?
13:26Steps, windows, siding, landscaping.
13:28You don't think you could keep this siding?
13:29This is by far one of the biggest weeds I've seen this year.
13:32Detroit loves their weeds. You don't think you could keep this?
13:35Well, maybe this particular section. Look.
13:38I was going to say, I haven't made it all the way around the house.
13:39It just kind of stops.
13:40Match that.
13:42You can clean and paint that, at least.
13:44Okay, we'll keep one side.
13:45So 1 32nd of the house.
13:46Stuff is, this is an old plaster. So instead, you've seen before where you'll have like this,
13:55where it's planks up the wall, and they're plastered over. Opposite of planks, you could
14:01do this, which is like a metal wire mat.
14:04Hey, Connor.
14:07It's a real gun.
14:10Is that really? It's not a cap gun or anything?
14:12Well, you feel it.
14:15Oh, yeah, that's real.
14:16Just be careful. Don't shoot yourself.
14:19There's got to be a way to open it, but I don't see like any form of a release.
14:23My gun is way newer than this.
14:25There's another one over here. There's another one.
14:30Probably just...
14:30I think this is someone currently living here.
14:33I don't know. Frank found some guns.
14:35So I think maybe we should report this.
14:38Report this.
14:38I think so, too. You probably don't want to be touching them all over, though.
14:41Yep.
14:42We just hand-printed the f*** out of them.
14:44I just want to call the cops.
14:45Not long after entering the property, they discovered a pile of personal belongings.
14:50Clear signs that somebody had recently been staying inside.
14:56As they looked closer, they found firearms along with several other suspicious items scattered throughout the building.
15:05Realizing the situation was far more serious than they first thought,
15:08They immediately contacted the police.
15:13Unsure whether they had stumbled across criminal activity or whether someone could still be nearby,
15:19they decided not to take any unnecessary risks.
15:26We're a contractor working in the area.
15:29We just entered a dwelling for the first time.
15:31We found two handguns in the house.
15:34We're at...
15:38It's Rossiter and Kelly.
15:39Rossiter and Kelly.
15:41And what's your name?
15:42My name's Frank.
15:43Thank you. I have police requests.
15:45You never know. They could be part of a previous crime.
15:48They could be just somebody stashing them to come back later and get them.
15:51Because when you look through here, there's burner phones that Frank's found.
15:55It's the third one.
15:56There are stolen tools and stuff like that that you can tell they've cracked open to sell them.
16:00Any contractor stuff that you can find, brand new, out of the box, ripped open, is usually a sign of
16:04theft.
16:05You got car parts or something there, too, which could indicate that at one point this was a chop shop.
16:10Where's the basement?
16:12Right here.
16:12So I'd be curious to see what the heck this story holds.
16:16While officers were making their way to the property, the group continued documenting what they could before police eventually arrived.
16:25Hello.
16:26Hello.
16:26Hello.
16:27We're over here checking out a house for an investor, and I turned over some clothing and found two handguns.
16:32Okay.
16:33I'll tell you where I am.
16:34I mean, I'm just sending the reel. I don't know anything about guns.
16:36I got you.
16:40How are you guys?
16:41Good. How are you?
16:42Good.
16:44Good.
16:46I don't know anything about guns.
16:47But they're heavy.
16:50Yeah, I mean, we did both touch them to look at them.
16:53My fingerprints and whoever else is the front.
16:55Yeah.
16:56At first I thought it was a pop gun or something, but they're too heavy to be toys.
17:00I'm assuming they'll take it back to the shop from there.
17:02They'll do some kind of test on a fingerprint or bullet or something.
17:05I don't really know.
17:06See if it's linked to anything that they have open in their system, I would guess.
17:10I'll be right back.
17:10All right.
17:11Why are all the neighbors out here staring at us?
17:13Sandboard in trouble.
17:16I'm surprised, honestly, it's the first we found.
17:19I found a shotgun before.
17:20Oh, that's true.
17:21I wasn't there for that one.
17:22But with the amount of time we've spent doing this and the amount of houses we've done,
17:27I'm surprised this is...
17:28I wonder how many we've scooped up and thrown away.
17:30And not noticed?
17:31Who knows?
17:32I mean, when walls come down and stuff.
17:34That shotgun, that was tucked in a wall, wasn't it?
17:36Yeah, I thought so.
17:37Who are you guys going to start in the house for?
17:38We came to look at it.
17:39It's an owner out of New York.
17:40They're out of New York.
17:41So what happens with them?
17:43We put them on evidence.
17:44That's what I figured.
17:45Just go back and check to see if they're linked to anything or whatever.
17:47I touched them.
17:48I was going to put their knife back.
17:49Oh, you're good.
17:50You're good.
17:50Colson, you've got four witnesses.
17:52They're not in the camera, so you're good.
17:54The workers guided them to the location of the discovery, gave statements,
17:59and explained exactly what they had found.
18:02Once their inspection was complete,
18:05officers seized the firearms and continued their investigation.
18:09For the workers, it served as a stark reminder that abandoned buildings don't just hide history.
18:17They can also hide situations far more dangerous than anyone expects.
18:25Whether it was discovering strangers inside abandoned buildings,
18:31stumbling across evidence of possible criminal activity,
18:35or being chased while trying to escape,
18:39every one of these encounters is a reminder
18:41that you never truly know what's waiting beyond the next door.
18:47Subscribe for more chilling encounters.
18:49Stay safe out there, and I'll see you in the next one.
