Shadowing Practice: Exploring the Scariest Google Map Locations - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creando lección...
1
All around the world, there are unexplored Google Map locations that most people wouldn't dare to explore.
2
And over the last month, I've pinned some of the scariest ones I could find just to see these places in real life.
3
And what I found was much crazier than I expected.
4
The first Google Map location I have arrived at is the Appalachian Mountains.
5
I booked an Airbnb in the middle of the Appalachian Mountains on the tallest mountain here.
6
And we're going to find out what's in these mountains because they're not on Google Maps.
7
So, maybe they'll be on my camera.
8
Not Google Maps, though.
9
They'll be on my camera.
10
The Appalachian Mountains are known for strange disappearances and conspiracies.
11
One of the most famous being that the US government quietly restricted certain areas because of unidentified creatures.
12
People all over TikTok have claimed to see skinwalkers in the Appalachian Mountains.
13
They're basically these huge, weird figures that disguise themselves as something they aren't, meaning they could be a deer.
14
It's really creepy, I don't know.
15
These clips often go viral, but most are blurry, shaky, and dramatic.
16
Some people think they're real, others say it's edited.
17
There's no real proof, just a lot of creepy stories and speculation.
18
Yeah, we're, there's mountains, a lot of mountains behind me, and I'm scared, so I got a pickaxe. Did it look good?
19
Uh, do it again.
20
Okay, I don't get paid enough.
21
You raised my salary a little bit.
22
You rolling?
23
Yup.
24
All right, this is day number four in the apple.
25
I almost smacked my leg with the pickaxe, but okay, it's lonely AF up here.
26
But there's snakes, there's bears, there's stuff in these mountains that we're gonna find because they're not on Google Maps.
27
Let's do this thing.
28
This is also from Walmart, so I'm not really dangerous.
29
Did that look good?
30
Yeah, it's good.
31
All right.
32
Actually, no, bro, you look pretty short.
33
What?
34
You look really short compared to these mountains.
35
Delete it.
36
Don't fall, bro.
37
Why'd you say that?
38
Yeah, don't fall.
39
I'd be really bad if you fell right now.
40
Ah!
41
I didn't fall.
42
We're good.
43
I barely made it out.
44
It's super duper lonely up here.
45
The closest place is over three hours away.
46
There's a lot of conspiracies and a lot of theories about these mountains.
47
When you go on Google Maps, these Appalachian Mountains aren't even there.
48
So that's kind of crazy to think about.
49
But we are here.
50
If you could zoom into that house all the way up there, I don't know if like the cam will pick it up, but people really live isolated out here.
51
Tonight, we're going to go explore these Appalachian Mountains when it's pitch black.
52
Okay, we have no survival skills.
53
The road to get up here is insane.
54
You got to go Mud you gotta go through lakes.
55
What is down there?
56
Oh, what could be in here?
57
We just found a fake rock in the Appalachian Mountains.
58
I don't know what it could be but should we do an unboxing?
59
So fake They didn't even try to disguise it.
60
That's a wire.
61
You think it's like service like Wi-Fi maybe should I lift it?
62
There's definitely snakes in there not gonna lie dude.
63
We're literally in the middle of butt ass nowhere.
64
Oh
65
Oh, bro, this goes deep and there's probably poison ivy in there
66
when you walk in that random trail There's just more of a road that leads down down downhill.
67
We're just exploring right now because you can't look at this online So, you know, we're looking at it in real life.
68
I have SOS service I don't have Wi-Fi no more you lose signal and use mountains, but we have Wi-Fi there B&B now we're disconnected So if something happens, we are absolutely done cooked gone.
69
Goodbye forever done.
70
Bye It'll be much scarier tonight when we explore this during the nighttime.
71
We're gonna are we twin?
72
This is sure is a workout.
73
These Appalachian Mountains are no joke.
74
God damn.
75
Oh, s*.
76
We're gonna come back to these Appalachian Mountains and explore during nighttime, and hopefully we can get to the bottom of what actually goes on here.
77
If I die, you know where to find me.
78
Actually, if I die, I need you to tell my dad I did wash the toilet with his toothbrush.
79
And then put it back.
80
I think we're gonna make it out.
81
We might not make it out, but at least we're filming it and this could really go down.
82
So it's everyone for themselves
83
What come on there is a very real chance that
84
when we leave we actually bump into a bear Could we just go?
85
Oh, I think you're being too loud really well if there is hypothetically someone or something You're gonna hear us coming here.
86
See us coming these bright-ass lights were done.
87
Oh No, I didn't think about that I think we should turn off all the lights.
88
What?
89
Just turn off the lights.
90
Okay.
91
My middle name is brave.
92
Let's go.
93
Oh, careful with the snakes.
94
Oh, I forgot about the snakes.
95
Yeah, careful.
96
What was that?
97
What was that?
98
My middle name is brave.
99
As we're getting deeper, it's just straight bugs.
100
Like, nah, there's more and more bugs now for sure, right?
101
Or they would all spawn where the lights are.
102
No, they're coming in the lights.
103
Stop.
104
Don't turn around, too quick.
105
Bro, we are the only people in these woods, realistically.
106
Yeah.
107
So it's us or an animal?
108
No, it's us, bears, and snakes.
109
I heard that bears actually hide in the top of trees.
110
Oh my god, imagine.
111
As we're walking, we have to just keep showing up the trees so we make sure that we don't actually get attacked.
112
Okay, let's be careful how far down we go because if something runs at us, we're running uphill.
113
So we're going to be 2x slower, and yeah, we might get eaten or attacked.
114
We have more time.
115
Stop.
116
You heard that too, right?
117
Think about people in the 1800s.
118
They did this shit for a living.
119
No, yeah, yeah.
120
Let's fucking do this.
121
My middle name is great.
122
Okay.
123
Oh My god I think we're good.

136
Yeah, I tried to, but it was cutting my dick.
137
So you give it to me?
138
Well, I give you a hold.
139

151
Shine lights everywhere around us.
152
Please oh, this is literally just for an emergency if we actually die.
153
I want a second angle Wait, I think I was holding the light backwards the whole time.
154
Well, look how far we are from the crib You don't even see the house anymore.
155

He was a real cool dude.
232
Sometimes in life, you want to take it to a far extent where you want to get views
233
and you just don't make it out.
234
And for example, that's gonna happen to him.
235
Honest rating on him gotta be like a 9.7.
236
Dude is a solid guy.
237
Just arches his ass a little too much.
238
Now this will work out, sweetie.
239
Now we feel we're leaving him though.

276
I mean, I want to, but I don't think I can.
277
That's a steep hill.
278
No, it really is a pretty steep hill, actually.
279
That's a good workout.
280
This is my second workout today, surprisingly.
281
The first one...
282
Well...
283
Nico, remember the first workout today?
284
So, we didn't find any skinwalkers or anything too creepy in the Appalachian Mountains, but that brings us to the second Google Map location, which is all the way in Miami, Florida.
285
Florida.
286
It's called the Miami Marine Stadium.
287
It was once the spot for insane boat races and concerts.
288
A bunch of famous people used to perform here on floating stages.
289
But after Hurricane Andrew in 1992, it was shut down and completely abandoned.
290
Now it's covered in graffiti and surrounded by urban legends.
291
Some people say it's haunted by people who died in the races.
292
Others claim secret parties and illegal fights still happen inside at night.
293
It's one of the most iconic abandoned spots in Miami and technically it's off limits, but explorers keep breaking in anyways.
294
We have officially arrived at the Miami Marine Stadium.
295
This place was abandoned in 1992 and now it's just left here.
296
It's not demolished.
297
It's 240 acres and no one uses it.
298
We're gonna sneak in.
299
It looks so cool.
300
One, two, three, four, five, six, no trespassing signs.
301
No habla ingles.
302
Dude, what's the worst that could happen?
303
Yo, there's homeless people probably living in here, eh?
304
I don't wanna f.
305
I like what they did with the place.
306
You think Do you think this is safe enough to walk on?
307
Yo, what?
308
Why is there a kayak right there?
309
And like boats over there too.
310
Do you think people just like chill here?
311
What are these rooms?
312
Oh my God.
313
Oh my God.
314
Holy .
315
There's just so much graffiti.
316
Literally on every single seat in the stadium, there's a piece of graffiti.
317
I wonder what they were watching.
318
It's just facing at water.
319
This is sick.
320
I almost just leaked our location.
321
I'm surprised they haven't demolished this place.
322
Crowd's a little bit dead today.
323
Yo, how the f* did people spray paint up there?
324
This s* don't even make sense.
325
Let's hear it, Miami.
326
This used to be hosting water sports and boxing matches.
327
Matches in the water?
328
Yeah.
329
Look at that bird just chilling.
330
Oh, he's mad.
331
What the f*?
332
We're gonna go down in the stadium.
333
There's like some crazy rooms and they're all pitch black.
334
It's really f*ing scary.
335
But we're gonna try to explore.
336
This is like a bathroom.
337
Bro, hell nah.
338
The concrete is so old it's just breaking.
339
What the f* was that?
340
Torture room?
341
Oh, I could finally go in the girls' bathroom.
342
Oh f*, it smells terrible.
343
Dude, there's like a telephone in here, bro.
344
Mmm.
345
I don't know about this, man.
346
This place was really just left in time.
347
It's crazy to think about.
348
Seeing this place on Google Maps is one thing, but being there in real life was a completely unreal experience.
349
It was pretty fascinating to see, but it does not compare to the next Google Map location, which is located all the way in North Carolina.
350
This place looks like it's straight out of a horror movie, and it kind of is.
351
Henry River Mill Village is a 100-year-old ghost town in North Carolina that was completely abandoned in the 1970s.
352
It used to be a thriving mill village, but after a fire and years of decline, everyone just left.
353
What's crazy to me is this entire town is still standing.
354
Empty houses, the general store, and even the old factory.
355
People claim it's haunted, and visitors have claimed to hear footsteps in the empty homes, and even see figures in the windows.
356
But here's the crazy part this ghost town was used as district 12 in the Hunger Games
357
So it's a literal haunted movie set in the middle of nowhere.
358
We have arrived at Henry Mill village, which is an abandoned ghost town It's been abandoned since the 70s.
359
This place was burned down and we're here.
360
We're gonna go explore look at this house Like where do these people go?
361
It's just so interesting to me, but no one has ever tried to redo this town I was literally just looking at this on Google Maps
362
Like who owns the property though, you know, dude, it's so creepy in there.
363
Okay.
364
So I would go to the extent to pose for YouTube thumbnail in there, but that is just like disgusting and I probably will die.
365
Look at that tiny off in frog.
366
I didn't know they make them that small.
367
I don't know how these places are not falling down to the ground.
368
You guys exploring this place too?
369
Yeah, allegedly this right here was the town hall when it burned down everyone lost their jobs.
370
So everyone had to evacuate the town and go get jobs somewhere else.
371
Kind of sad.
372
But kind of fascinating.
373
And it's so crazy that so many people drive past here.
374
Like it's like an active town.
375
Wait, sorry, what?
376
The house 12 and Hunger Games.
377
Oh, Hunger Games.
378
Yeah.
379
Oh, they filmed it here?
380
That's what it's filmed.
381
Oh.
382
The first Hunger Games in the White House down here, you can see it.
383
Do you know what happened here?
384
Back in the day, this was a middle town, but Hunger Games made it a little bit more popular.
385
I remember when I was growing up, you could have your radio station on one radio station, and when you come down through here, it would flip back to the 1930 radio.
386
Really?
387
Yeah, it would.
388
My son even, he graduated here, and he goes, I remember that, Dad.
389
I said, yeah, remember how the radio station would always change to another radio station?
390
That's weird.
391
He goes, yeah, and it's like playing 20s music.
392
I said, yeah.
393
And then after you go across the bridge, it would flip back to the regular radio station you had it on.
394
Whoa.
395
You think this place is haunted?
396
I don't know.
397
My wife, she lived in that very first house.
398
Really?
399
When they first started it here.
400
Wow.
401
Did your wife just like abandon the house?
402
Was she the last person to live there?
403
Yeah.
404
Wow.
405
The houses got so old.
406
So everyone just left their own houses?
407
A lot of people come here and camp out in these old houses and they swear about all kinds of stuff.
408
How many houses are abandoned on this road?
409
Uh, there was about 18.
410
He said when he was driving, when he was younger here, the radios would switch back to like 20s and 30s music.
411
When he would get in this town.
412
Bro, what?
413
I've never been to an actual ghost town.
414
I don't get it.
415
Like, how do you pay for a house and you just leave it one day?
416
That's where they filmed Hunger Games.
417
I never watched the movie, but that's where they filmed it.
418
That's pretty sick.
419
As we were walking around this place, it just felt too quiet.
420
Every house was still standing completely empty, and it made me wonder, where did these people go?
421
Everyone just vanished overnight.
422
Locals say if you come to this place at the right time, you'll hear doors creak by themselves or footsteps behind you.
423
And I'm not that curious, so I will not be looking for that at all.
424
Most of these houses still had furniture inside.
425
Everything was frozen in time.
426
This is by far one of the creepiest places I've ever explored
427
and one of the creepiest abandoned towns in the south Maybe
428
i'd say this place has about 10 years until all these buildings just collapse
429
because like even bro Look all the way down there.
430
There's an abandoned house down there.
431
This goes on for miles rents probably hella cheap here I'm gonna stick my gopro in there.
432
Let's see what we see.
433
There was a fireplace in this guy's house I see the kitchen damn That's sad.
434
Maybe these places are better off not to be explored.
435
This place was crazy.
436
Probably won't come back here ever in my life.
437
20k likes, I'll come back here, I'll renovate this crib, we'll turn this into an Airbnb, and I'll f*ing live here for seven days.
438
20k likes.
439
The last Google Map location is located in Key Biscayne, Florida.
440
This was once a popular zoo attraction in Miami, but after Hurricane Andrew in 1992, it was shut down and never reopened.
441
What's left behind doesn't even look real.
442
Rusted animal cages, overgrown paths that lead to nowhere, and eerie vibes.
443
Do not enter.
444
Authorized vehicles only.
445
I think we're classified as authorized vehicles.
446
Excuse me.
447
Do you know where the zoo is?
448
Right in there.
449
All right, thank you.
450
Yo, ain't no f*ing way.
451
What the f* am I looking at?
452
Oh my god, is this real life?
453
No, this is a prank.
454
No, that's the biggest bird I've ever seen in my f*ing life.
455
Bro, it's like purple and s*.
456
Who the f* do they think they are?
457
He does a money spread with his wings.
458
No troll.
459
Are they a part of the zoo?
460
Yo, what?
461
No shot.
462
That's real life.
463
No, they're trolling.
464
It's a money spread twin.
465
Dude, they're so colorful.
466
It took forever to find this place because it's literally not on Google Maps.
467
Alligators in area.
468
Crocodiles.
469
Oh, I think I see one.
470
Oh, I do see one.
471
Yeah.
472
Is that the head of one?
473
It looks like a back of a croc...
474
What sound effect is that?
475
Okay, they're planning something on us.
476
So I was just waiting like...
477
It was not about it, bro.
478
Bro swears he's a hammer.
479
We found the first two remains of the zoo.
480
So let's go check this out.
481
Whoa.
482
Locked off entrance.
483
Bro, I think we have to go in.
484
What is that?
485
Yo, where the f* am I, bro?
486
Yo, it's like they did this on purpose.
487
They just put a bunch of metal pieces to block this gate.
488
What's behind it, though?
489
Oh.
490
It's literally nothing.
491
I wasn't that crazy.
492
There was literally nothing behind it.
493
What an edge.
494
Let's keep heading down the trail.
495
We just found a little tunnel.
496
I think it's haunted.
497
Is that not an art piece?
498
Bro, there are some crazy iguanas in here.
499
Whoa.
500
Oh, hell no. What?
501
There's something in it.
502
I just heard some move in it.
503
What?
504
This is where they used to keep the animals.
505
They would lock them in here.
506
and that would be where you probably pet them, but like these are pretty intense cages, bro.
507
What kind of animals would be in here?
508
Maybe like cats?
509
Dogs?

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
