abandoned: The All-American Ruins Podcast

Sometimes, an abandoned space can summon a ghost - or maybe it’s just a figment of the imagination. Either way, join Blake as he accompanies you to the ruins of a seaside shanty, standing proudly on the edge of a graveyard overlooking the mighty Atlantic Ocean in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. (And don’t be surprised if you both run into a ghost named Mrs. Dalby.)

Creator and host of the All-American Ruins multiverse Blake Pfeil teamed up HUDSY, a Hudson Valley, NY-based content platform cooperative, to produce a four-part video series, presented exclusively on the HUDSY platform. HUDSY's unique adaptation draws from both the original All-American Ruins blog as well as its companion podcast, abandoned: The All-American Ruins Podcast.

Enjoy this sneak peak at the pilot episode, "Hello, I'm Shelley Duvall," in which Blake guides you through the ruins of the Nevele Grande Hotel & Resort. Located at the foot of the Catskill Mountains, The Nevele served as a destination resort for Jewish vacationers from all over the country before it was abandoned in 2009. Join him as he fulfills his fantasy of exploring the set for Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, wandering the empty, crumbling halls of this Borscht Belt architectural sensation with the ghosts of guests past -- and Shelley Duvall.

You can also enjoy the audio podcast version of this All-American Ruins story in Season 1, Episode 3 of abandoned: The All-American Ruins Podcast, wherever you get your podcasts.
