How’s it going YouTube?
Welcome back to another most amazing video!
I’m your host, Landon Dowlatsingh and today we are going to investigate some shady and
scary looking houses.
So buckle up because things are about to get bumpy with our list of the top 10 scariest
houses that will freak you out.
Starting off this list in at number 10 we have this little house located on Holland
island in Maryland USA.
This island used to be home to about 360 residents who were watermen and famers.
But now, for obvious reasons, the island has been abandoned.
The harsh winds and the tides forced the residents to live on the mainland but this house is
the last survivor.
I really hope only the pelicans are living here because this looks like it is so close
to collapsing.
I don’t know how it managed to survive all of these years because it looks like it is
in need of some serious TLC.
And if one big wave comes crashing into it, this whole house is a goner.
A rickety little house takes us into number 9.
This little house is known as “a teahouse built too high.”
And this little guy is located in Nagano, Japan.
This teahouse was built on top of two chestnut trees that were cut down from a nearby mountain
and transported to this area.
The architect decided to build this house for his own personal use.
It only has one room and the only way inside of the house is by using a free-standing ladder
propped up against one of the trees.
Hmmm sounds legit…
You would think that the architect would’ve made permanent stairs or something, but then
on the other hand, maybe he’s not a good architect.
What if the wind blows away your ladder?
How the hell are you supposed to get down?
But can we also take a look at these two little trees that are holding up this house?
Hopefully he doesn’t have a lot of furniture or throws big parties because that doesn’t
look like it can support a lot of weight.
Little house on a rock comes into number 8.
Yeah, I think this little house looks pretty cool but would I want to stay there?
Probably not.
I feel that any wind speed over 5 km/h would destroy this house.
And what if I had some sort of medical emergency.
No body would be coming to help me.
I’d be like “yeah hi, I’m that little tiny house on a rock, in the middle of the
lake.
Can you help me?”
At least you wouldn’t have to deal with awful neighbors.
I guess that’s one of the few perks with this tiny little house on a rock.
Number 7 takes us over to Russia.
This was a wooden house that was built by a Russian businessman and it took him 15 years
to build.
This house used to be known as Russia’s highest wooden house.
But I guess the guy who built this house didn’t see one huge problem with the materials that
he was using.
Yeah…there’s a reason why houses aren’t made purely out of wood.
First of all, this house is a termite’s dream.
Second of all this house is highly flammable.
I hope this house didn’t have a kitchen because it would be a highly stressful thing
if you were to burn the toast.
And as it turns out, back in 2008 the house was condemned as a fire hazard so a lot of
it was pulled down by the local government.
And then the remaining structure burned to the ground in 2012.
Traveling into number 6 we have the Meteora Monasteries in Greece.
These buildings were built on top of natural rock pillars during the 15th century.
There used to be 24 monasteries but now only 6 of them are still being used today.
But back in the day, people could only reach the steep cliffs in a hanging basket or by
climbing flimsy rope ladders.
Ummm… no thanks.
I don’t think I would stuff myself into a little basket and hope that the wind doesn’t
knock me over on my way up.
Thankfully today, these Monasteries can be reached by roads, steps and bridges.
The cliff house brings us to number 5.
I’ve never had the desire to live on a cliff.
Nothing good ever comes from being too close to a cliff so I don’t know why an architect
would ever want to build this house.
Obviously, this house isn’t real but could you imagine if it was?
I would need a way taller fence and probably a good life insurance policy to live here.
Just looking at this picture gives me anxiety.
I live in a condo and I struggle with brining in my groceries but if you lived here you
would literally need to drive up a mountain and carry your groceries through a cave to
get to your kitchen.
So I guess I’ll stop complaining now.
The houses that defy gravity take us into number 4 I’m already scared of those apartment
buildings that have floating balconies.
I don’t think I can get on board with these houses that look like they are not supported
at all.
I don’t even think that I would want a house on the ground floor because I would be too
scared that my neighbors house would fall onto my house.
Why can’t we just build normal looking houses that are all structurally sound and well supported?
Skylodges bring us to number 3.
I’ll be the first one to admit that these sky lodges look super sick but you’ll never
see me in one of those and I’ll tell you why.
In order to get to your suite, first you must hike up a 400m cliff or hike through an intense
trail with ziplines.
Each of these sky lodges measure in at 24ft in length and 8ft in height.
But don’t worry, safety is apparently their number one priority so that’s why they made
an exit portal located in the upper part of your pod.
K cool, but if I have to escape my pod am, I forced to sit on the top of the thing?
Because that seems super dangerous and not something that I would want to do ever.
And now, bringing us to number 2 we have this scary looking thing.
Do you guys see that little rickety gondola that you would have to take to get into your
house?
No thanks!
I’m good.
And what’s up with the little tiny rock feet holding this whole thing up?
What, they couldn’t find a sturdier rock chunk out there?
Everything at the top looks legit and then as you travel down things just get worse.
I’ll be the first one to say that I think this house is a terrible idea.
No one needs to live on the top of a shady looking rock.
Here’s another cliff house hanging in at number 1.
These extremely risky houses are located in Tibet and it makes me wonder if Tibet is running
out of land space.
Because why the hell would you want to build little tiny homes on a rickety cliff side
where the rocks can plummet at any moment.
I can appreciate that they tried to provide these homes with some sort of structure but
you will never see me step foot inside on of these homes.
They look like they are being anchored with just a few posts each.
And this is probably how you get to your house.
All jokes aside, I hope that an architect inspects the integrity of these homes at least
once a week because I am seriously stressed out for the people that live there.
Well there you guys have it…
