Note: This thread has been changed many times to rectify the problem of false accusations regarding many channels where the accuser has no proof of such thing happening.
For over a decade, Urban exploration has become a interesting topic amongst many people and have eventually become an essential market tactic exploited by many creators for revenue. Eventually you'll find a lot of fake Urbex videos of people claiming they found expensive jewelry while ripping apart walls to remove copper pipes and claim someone stole the copper. Many of them go into paranormal subjects and claiming said place is haunted and there exists many urbex videos of people claiming to find dead bodies over and over again. Some even claim to explore abandoned military bases in dictatorship heavy countries. With what's been said, like the Animal Rescue Videos and the Primitive Building Videos. Tons of these videos have been exposed as being fake and has been called out by actual urban explorers. I'll list many examples of Urbex Channels abusing the subject to get views.
Channels accusing other channels on being fake
With that being said. I am aware of many Urbex Channels wrongfully calling out authentic urbex channels for being fake, 360Investigations is an infamous example.
Video of an Urbex explorer calling out Urbex Channels. He accuses Freaktography of faking the money he found at one abandoned house. This is one in 3 narratives used against Freaktography. (Which also explains his posts on this thread but I understand why. Being falsely accused is such a big deal. Many lives have been ruined because of these false accusations and I don't want it to happen to Freaktography).
Paranormal Channels
Note: These videos are often considered novelty and speculation.
Some of these Urban Exploration videos often involve a little exploration and then a massive segment of them trying to communicate to a paranormal being using a 'ghost communicator'. Adam Mark Explores is a known for being one on the Paranormal buzzword with clickbait titles stating how terrifying these houses are. Many Paranormal channels use an app that claims to talk to spirits. With that being said. Adam Mark Explores only revolves around speculation of urban legends and offers interesting insights even if Spirit Talker was proven to be a gimmick. But if evidence suggests spirits are trapped in these locations, it would be astonishing to see. Some channels like to abuse the paranormal trends and claim they really found ghosts or other weird things with poor acting.
Coincidentally every place he's been to is haunted.
MLS Abusers
Many Urbex Explorers claim they have found these places and take credit for finding these places. However, they got the property through bids just to explore it and tell the location off to their friends. One of many channels known for doing this include Bigbankz, a 25 year old man from Oklahoma who buys these properties for Urbex exploration and later reveal the location just to call the cops on them for trespassing later on. Exploring with Josh is a very famous Urbex explorer who also has been abusing MLS as well as using clickbait thumbnails of buzzwords such as exorcist and freemason's just to get views.
The house in Ontario, Canada that has been abandoned since 1999 has already been explored by various different amounts of people including Freaktography, Abandoned Urbex Canada, Noah Nowhere, and Exploring with Angelo.
I also remember seeing YouTube comments about the condition of the house before any of these explorers went in. This also explains why they could easily enter the house. It was probably an MLS.
One of many explorers who explored the MLS 1977 Tuscan Villa Mansion that has a flooded basement.
With that being said. Making videos about MLS's isn't bad in particular. I do love when people make updates on said location. Freaktography on the updates on that house (that same house 360 Investigations falsely accused him of faking) is such a blast from the past.
People claiming to explore military bases in brutal dictatorship countries
Note: As of right now, information about sheiy is currently under speculation.
Many people claim to do illegal things in second or third world countries with brutal dictatorship laws such as Serbia, Montenegro, China, etc. Shiey (also known as ILLEGAL FREEDOM) for example makes videos about train surfing and exploring bunkers and military bases in the countries he claimed to be in. It's suggested that, Train Surfing and Military Base Exploring is highly prohibited in said countries they claim to be in and Shiey would've been arrested for it.
Video claiming Sheiy to be faked.
People who claim to find corpses, abducted people and other illegal things
Lastly, there has also been Urbex channel abusing the dead body trend for views. Lewis Clark for example posts videos of him coincidentally finding a bunch a strange absurd things inside the mansion and even have to audacity to say they're not clickbait. Had these videos actually have been real, they would've been taken down for Community Guidelines violations on shocking gory content and many of these channels would remain dormant for years (but would not look like the find crazy shit every time) when they are killed by said people because clearly what these people are, they're actors.
Really fucking shitty clickbait material there. It's ImJayStation all over again. But then again, It's kind of amazing how hilariously bad this channel is and it can be enjoyed ironically or if drunk. Sometimes a user would make an Urbex video that parodies the fake ones.
Channels falsely accused of faking things.
When I originally wrote this article, I initially believed 360 Investigation's accusation without doing any research (Massive mistake on my part). Freaktography has fallen victim to this accusation and he told me about 2 other different false narratives about the house with the 6,800 dollars inside. This explains why I had to rewrite many things in this thread so Freaktography won't end up in the same pool as someone like Lewis Clark. shiey might also be under this category too.
With that being said, these are some of the people who have been abusing the Urbex trend and are making real Urbex explorers look bad. Have they been honest about not finding these places, it wouldn't of been so bad so long as they don't abuse the paranormal trend and other weird shit. Obviously when I was watching Abandoned Urbex Canada and Freaktography I knew for a fact they explore both already discovered locations and locations they found themselves.
