House frozen in time for 30 years with photos, toys and grand piano left behind
A family house has been discovered after sitting abandoned for more than 30 years – and it is still furnished with pictures, toys, and furniture. Among the forgotten treasures were a grand piano, a Buzz Lightyear toy, and an old rocking horse.
Dusty Reichert, 19, recently travelled around his home state, coming across the home in the southern side of Minnesota. Sharing a video of his find on TikTok (@reichert.exploratory), he gathered over one million views.
“I happened to be driving past this home after exploring a few other buildings,” said Dusty. "Once I saw it, I pulled over and walked to check the property out. Once I stumbled up the driveway of this home, I knew it was abandoned due to the broken windows and overgrown grass.” Upon entering the home, he estimated it was likely abandoned in the 1990s, due to the types of toys left behind.

It was also pretty creepy due to all the toys and old pictures lying around. I’ve got to say the most interesting find on the interior was either the Toy Story Buzz Lightyear action figure or the piano in the corner.”
In the video, shared on social media, Dusty shows the outside of the home, completely isolated in the middle of a field. He then shows what he found in the home, starting with family photos which had been left behind. Revealing one of the rooms, it contains furniture, clothing, paintings and toys.

There are then shots of roller skates, a basketball hoop, and another teddy. The post was captioned: “This house was frozen in time!” and has gained 176,000 likes, as well as hundreds of comments. One user said: “It’s so upsetting how a house with memories can be abandoned like that. No family members check up on the house after they pass, nothing.”

Another user said: “I love abandoned houses so much." One follower added: “My little cousin has the buzz lightyear and the kangaroo omg.” Dusty added: “I personally won't go back just because I've already documented what was needed, and it's only gonna get worse than where it is now. It was likely left abandoned due to the homeowner passing away or moving away due to the unkept state it was left in.”
