STORY
Join us as we journey to the beautiful country of Norway, filled with stunning landscapes and hidden gems. Our exploration led us to an abandoned white house, once home to the enigmatic Sandvik family whose deep connection to the forestry industry shaped their unique legacy. As we discover the secrets behind this forgotten home, we'll uncover the tragic tale of Peter, the latest heir to run the family business, who found solace in his passion for trekking through Norway's breathtaking scenery after the loss of his beloved wife Annie. Meanwhile, Ayla, Peter's daughter and inheritor of the house, has chosen to let it fall into neglect for the past 15 years. Join us as we delve into the captivating lives of these individuals and the mysterious history of this isolated corner of the world.

  • I will never understand why the children don't take care of things after their parents pass. His diaries for goodness sake! How could she care so little to just leave them there to rot? So sad!

    The two wooden models, both the one at the entrance to the house and the one on the upper floor, represent the typical Nordic church in rural areas of both Sweden and Norway for centuries. The one at the entrance even has decorative crosses distributed on the exterior roofs.

    Beautiful house, but sad to know a older gentleman was living alone. It breaks my heart, older people should never live alone. 😢 Thank you guys for your time, & respect on doing these videos. 🫶

    Such a lovely old home with so many memories , in beautiful Norway . I can't believe this man kept a daily diary throughout his life, and it's still here . Love your channel, guys, and thank you for being so professional and respectful .

    A truly emotional interesting life story about love and family values! Despite his terrible loss,Peter stayed true and committed to his family until the end. The paintings are lovely and the family photos show the deep connection he had with his loving wife and daughter. The entire place evokes harmony and joy. It's a pity all those family items are left to rot away. Thank you,Lesley and Danny for this wonderful journey into the past!

    This is very interesting. My Grandfather came from Norway. I'm not sure when. He was in WW1. Lived to be 93 yrs old.

    I loved visiting the old home with you. The artwork made it very special and unique. I hope the daughter visited and took a few extra special treasures back to her home.
  • Those glass prints would take a several minutes to develop so that’s the reason most people didn’t smile back then in their pictures, and it was also considered an important event and you didn’t want to look silly. Cameras didn’t do well with movement in the beginning it would turn blurry, so easier to hold a straight face than a smile. Probably a combo of both reasons.

    30:58 the book in question is a sheet music book for a pump organ, each number represents a different sound field, which in the organ is adjusted by pulling a different lever.

    My great-grandmother was from Oslo Norway, and she left for the USA 🇺🇸 for a better life. Sadly, her husband died and left her to raise 5 children alone! She never remarried, and she had to work several jobs to feed her children. She was a lovely lady and lived to 98 years old! She passed away in 1979, and I've always wondered what her life was like in Norway. If you go to Oslo, I hope to see what it looks like there. Maybe you can film a bit of the town? Also, she was terrified of bridges because she believed that trolls lived under them!!😂 Thank you for sharing your adventures with us! I look forward to seeing a video in Oslo!!❤
  • Wow what a house! I sure hate to see this beautiful home left to decay! Wonderful video bro’s! ❤️🤘👍
  • Some people have a family that dies out and when they die themselves there is often no one to bequeath the property to. Sad. When it's our time to go(me and my wife) we will leave our property to family that wants it.
