The Retromantic
ABANDONED: Youth Camp Deep In The Woods (Virtually Untouched!) w/ American Explorer
updated
Now-on to the content. I debated on slicing this into several videos, but honestly folks, part 2 videos, much less part 3's and 4's don't get any watch time. And I would hate for this one to be missed. Granted most folks won't make it through the feature-length one either (not being negative, it's just the way of things in the YouTube world) however, I still think it will ultimately perform better as a feature-length film, especially if I release it as a premiere. I am really starting to fight for monetization now, so I need to get my watch time up however I can, even when I'm struggling with consistent video uploads. I gave away a lot in this preview, because I want folks to see just how life-changing this overnight experience was. If I had any doubts about paranormal before, I don't now. Neither American Explorer or I have experienced anything even close to this--and I personally have been on a lot of ghost hunting adventures with channels dedicated solely to that purpose. I had experienced some very disturbing EVPs on recordings after the video excursion was said and done, but nothing had happened to me in real time (of significance) before this night. Never before had I heard this many unexplained noises. Never had I been this scared. In the past, I had been frightened momentarily, sure, but things could be explained away as tricks of the mind, or the wind, or other things related to nature. Not this night. Yes, a few nocturnal animals entered the mix, I am sure of it. And we explained away all that we could. But I was left with so many unanswered questions after this night--and it was all I could think about for awhile. I also want to note that yes, I include sound effects and music in my editing. And I ALWAYS will. Don't come at me for this. This is my style and if you don't care for it--I don't need to tell you that there are thousands of other channels you could choose from. I never put sound or music in that covers up or changes the integrity of my footage. If you want to hear the unexplained occurrences, in their raw form, watch the feature-length video when it comes out. You will see and understand FAR more than this preview video can relay to you. If you've read this far, thank you. Please like this preview video and comment your thoughts. I hope I am not coming off as too negative, it is not my intent and I am really excited about the future of The Retromantic Channel, but it's time to work a little harder and care a little less about anyone who doesn't support my endeavors. You're either in or you're out. Big talk coming from a little channel, I know--but I'm ready for some changes.
BTW--HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the Retromantic Channel. On May 27th, it was 4 years old. And what an adventure it has been--wouldn't change it for the world. π
Look out for more news about the release of this video SOON. π» Love you all. ππ

I created this sampling nearly a year ago now, and figured it was high time to release it. Some favorite moments here. Some published--some not. This is not only a representation of my channel, but a remembrance of the time I was living in. These are fond memories and I cherish all of those who come--and go from my life. Thanks for being a part of the Retromantic YouTube Channel.
Here's to future times--and future footage. β

In this 2021 video, I left a lot more raw footage than I did the previous year the event was held (2019). I wanted more of "OFF THE RECORD" to be heard since they did an amazing job. Only cost me 4 copyright claims...could have been worse, right? See KISS, Madonna, HULK HOGAN, what Santa does in August...and my sweet NKOTB hat that I've had since I was 10! And will my 80's Toys Mini-Float be a hit? Also--the kids in this video were WILD! I've never seen kids rock out this much to 80's era music.
And you gotta love the boy who said he wished he was an 80's kid right?!π
As always this is a charity event for the Greenville Shriner's Children's Hospital put on by Dave Linn of Bringing It To Life Productions. A good time for a GREAT cause! If you ever find yourself in Franklin, NC (or nearby) on the first weekend in August---you GOTTA travel back to the greatest decade with us! Let's go!

Just one problem....
Neither one of us can cook.
Also--RJ hates the main ingredient of the dish. π
What will happen?
You might be surprised...
Spring Pastry Puffs (1963)
Ingredients
6 slices of bread
6 slices of processed cheese
Bunch of asparagus (enough to make about 24 pieces)
3 eggs? 6 eggs? (I still don't know π€¦ββοΈ)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon salt
Dash of pepper (RJ knows what a dash is...color me impressed π)
In broiler, toast 6 bread slices on one side. Place a slice of process(ed!) cheese on each untoasted side; broil to partially melt cheese. Remove from heat and place 3 or 4 spears of hot cooked (you gotta COOK it first! π) asparagus on top of each cheese slice. Beat (what did those poor eggs ever do to us?) 3 egg yolks til thick and lemon colored, stir in 1/4 cup mayonnaise, (We say add MORE mayo! π) 1/4 teaspoon salt, and dash pepper; fold (Witchcraft, I tell ya! π€¬) in 3 stiff-beaten egg whites. Pile (good luck with THAT! π€) mixture atop asparagus. Bake at 350Β° about 13 minutes in till egg mixture is set. Serves 6. (Invite the neighbors over for this delectable treat! π€ͺ)
Send me retro recipes! Or come help me cook...trust me I need it! π€£

American Explorer and I were out for a day of exploring in Cherokee, NC. We had 2 planned locations, but ran across this one randomly as we were driving around. We were on the fence about stopping...night was falling and it had been a long day already. But we decided we might as well...after all, it might be a nice little roadside find. Unfortunately that was not the case. The former Smokey Mountains Cabins were currently (and for some time) being used as a rent-free place for illegal activities. As we nervously explored the cabins and grounds, we kept hearing sounds and were fully expecting someone to walk up at any time. Most units were full of garbage, drug paraphernalia and buckets of human excrement. While I did not focus heavily on these things, they will be seen in the video, so please consider that before watching. We do not recommend this type of explore and do not actively seek it out. We did have protection with us. One last thing I want to mention is that humor is something American Explorer and I use often. You will see us make many jokes about the place, but at the end of the day, it was really sad and disturbing to see that people suffer from that level of addiction and live that way. I'm including some links for addiction help. As always, thank you for watching (if you choose to) and for being a member of my community here on YouTube.

This is a lesser known former resort, in fact, there's only a few videos of it online and most people aren't sure what the name of the place actually was. It most likely opened in the 40's and closed in the early 90's. Although it had a few updates throughout the decades, for the most part it retained it's retro look. It has less vandalism and no graffiti, as compared to it's more popular counterparts in the area. There are things you wouldn't expect to see like perfectly intact (now vintage) curtains and mid-century furniture in this resort. It was a quaint place, maybe not as many frills as some of the other resorts, but it was very nice in it's heyday. It's in a serene and peaceful location in the woods. And the pool is huge! If you have any information about this location, let us know in the comments, but please don't give away it's location as we want to keep the place preserved as much as we can.
*If you do happen to know this location, I would not recommend visiting, as it is currently watched by a caretaker who is kind, but will ask you to leave.

If you come here, not only can you tour the 12 decks of the battleship, but there is also the "Battleship Memorial Park" and the "Medal of Honor Aircraft Pavilion." Both areas have countless aircraft, military vehicles and other displays and memorials of interest. There is also the USS Drum, a submarine that can be toured.
We only scratched the surface of this place! You'll need a whole day if you plan to see everything. We can show you a great overview here through...join us for the USS Alabama tour on this 4th of July weekend!

More Info
USS Alabama (BB-60), 1942-1964
USS Alabama, a 35,000 ton South Dakota class battleship, was built at the Norfolk Navy Yard, Portsmouth, Virginia. Commissioned in August 1942, she operated along the U.S. east coast in late 1942 and early 1943 and was then stationed in the North Atlantic to guard against the threat of raids by German heavy ships. Alabama was transferred to the Pacific in August 1943. During November of that year, she took part in the operation to capture the Gilbert Islands. In 1944, Alabama participated in taking the Marshalls, the Marianas and Leyte, the Battles of the Philippine Sea and Leyte Gulf, and raids on Japanese positions elsewhere in the Pacific.
Following overhaul and training in January-April 1945, the battleship rejoined the fleet for operations in the Western Pacific, including attacks on the Japanese home islands. She took part in the occupation of Japan and the return of veterans to the United States in August-October 1945. USS Alabama decommissioned at the Puget Sound Navy Yard, Bremerton, Washington, in January 1947 and remained in reserve until struck from the Naval Vessel Register in June 1962. Two years later, she was turned over to the State of Alabama. Since September 1964, Alabama has been berthed at Mobile, Alabama, as a memorial to those who served and sacrificed during World War II.

Ok folks, in this video we have reached the Alabama Gulf Coast and our RV Park, however (not surprisingly) things are not going as planned! π
See what situations we get ourselves into next, plus watch an amazing transformation from kitchen table to bed as I prepare my sleeping arrangements in our fabulous rented RV. π
Join myself, my parents (in their 70's) and my 9 year old daughter as we hit the road...expect the unexpected...and a lot of laughs along the way!
Make sure you have watched the first video in this series before this one! Find it here:
