Urbex 103 - Facebook groups share addresses of abandoned homes for anyone to see! Exploring your own former childhood abandoned home and finding human cremains with Monique (moniquewahgorilla)

Today's podcast episode features Monique, a passionate explorer from Virginia. Her journey to our pod began with a video in a Facebook group where she cleverly advised members to keep quiet about abandoned homes' locations.

Dedicated to preserving abandoned homes, Monique expresses frustration over members sharing locations in the local Virginia Facebook group, leading to looting and destruction. Monique shares diverse stories, including a poignant visit to her derelict childhood home. Despite its abandoned appearance, she guides us through the emotional experience of reconnecting with her childhood memories. Her adventures in Buffalo, the 'Mecca of Urbex,' involve meeting the 'Mayor of Buffalo.' Buffalo Meg becomes a recurring theme on the Chasing Bandos Podcast recently.

Monique unveils a recurring theme of exploring abandoned funeral homes and finding cremains, including the emotional discovery of a baby's ashes. In a compelling tale, Monique contacts a crematorium after finding a man's cremains, uncovering more about his life. The episode explores Monique's adventures in abandoned hospitals, with a special story featuring her mom. Monique passionately describes how urban exploration literally saved her life.
