🏚️✨ Some places don’t just hold memories—they become them. A home that once breathed is now caught in a restless slumber, its story unfinished.

🌿🕰️ Hidden beneath ivy and dust, deep in the countryside of Belgium, stands a house frozen in time. It belonged to the couple Mr. René and Mrs. Odile. Their names linger on old letters, their presence in the objects they touched.

📽️ René was a man of many talents—a filmmaker, a craftsman, a soldier 🎖️. The old film equipment, the lenses left gathering dust, the faded photographs tucked away in corners 🖼️—they’re all signs of a passion that once burned bright. But where did that fire go? What made him, and Odile, disappear from the life they built?

📰⏳ Their life did not end with a grand farewell. The last newspaper, dated 2014, still rests where it was left, marking the final trace of their presence.

And now, a decade later, we step inside—not to disturb, but to listen 👂.
To hear the story that the walls still long to tell.

🔑 So come with me, as we delve into a place where time stands still…
🏡🕰️ A house frozen in memory. The forgotten home of René and Odile.

  1. A very interesting find. So much decay. At 4:57 the items shown are used in making beer and wine to find the alcohol content also known as the specific gravity. Jack used to make beer and mead, so I recognized them right off. I am guessing Mr. Rene made his own beer, but that is just a guess. I always find it interesting when there isn't a bathroom in a place abandoned any time after 1950's. The item at 22:07 reminds me of a projector. The father of the girl I grew up with had one similar. I can't help but wonder if Mr. Rene didn't repair older televisions. Thank you for another great adventure. And still the best smile on the internet! Cheers. ❤

  2. That was an amazing explore. I really liked the film projector, old 35mm cameras and record players. I think the phone was hooked up to a fax machine, perhaps.

  3. Mr. Rene enjoyed one of my favorite hobbies photography. I loved the old cameras and the lenses you found. This home I believe was filled with alot of love. Another wonderful.adventure that definitely made me smile.
