When they found it, he had a gut feeling not to follow his team members inside the building and stay behind.
He stated that he later regretted his action for not going inside. It should be noted that all through the video, the owner's name was never mentioned. Briefly News cannot verify if this was to protect his identity.
Deserted but rich
At the time of writing this report, the video has been seen over 2 million times. Full footage of the house was shown, with the mansion looking deserted.
