Man Spends Night in ‘World’s Loneliest House,’ a Forbidden Spot Hours from the Nearest Town

Man Spends Night in ‘World’s Loneliest House,’ a Forbidden Spot Hours from Nearest Town A content creator has just undertaken a challenge of staying overnight in what was referred to as the “world’s loneliest house,” an isolated place, full of mystery and conspiracy theories, with accesses only by very dangerous journeys.

It was a single white house that sat on a barren island just off the southern coast of Iceland, not an easy place to get to, which makes it perfect for anybody seeking isolation.

Being interested in the enigma that was around the house, Ryan Trahan, the YouTuber went ahead and documented his visit on video for his channel where he attracted many fans. Given his audacity, he referred to rumors of the house being a billionaire’s construction where he would hide from a zombie apocalypse or the house was a stronghold for an obsessed cult. He set off from home to go and establish the truth about it.

With the house having gone viral on social media with nearly 17 million subscribers, Ryan was provoked by curiosity. He first started his journey from Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, where he took a taxi to go on and catch a ferry to reach the remote island named Elliðaey, or “the loneliest island in the world.”

Ryan teamed up with local guide Bjarni Sigurdsson, who had gained global attention in 2017 with his trip to the island. With him and a man called Ragnar, he plunged into the dangerous waters on a little craft looking very much like a lifeboat.

But as they neared the island, Ryan confessed to being anxious and nauseous, joking that he “hadn’t pooped in 48 hours,” likely adding to his discomfort.

Their arrival brought them in front of the first of many challenges-there was no pier, and so the group had to climb up the steep side of the island, using a rope and fighting the rough conditions from their tiny boat.

After landing on the island, they went towards their only cabin-like house amongst grass and wild animals. Upon entering the house, Ryan recorded his visit on the guestbook of the house — his number was the 11, 265th to have visited Elliðaey. Dinner came, and steaks prepared by Bjarni were shared by the group in the cozy dining room of his house.

He said everything that was in the house had to be carried up by hand. Previous visitors carried up the material and tools to make the house in much the same manner.

Ryan slept that night in a room about the size of an attic, with seven beds to choose from. The next morning he took a tour of the island and its resident wildlife, including sheep, puffins, and seals.

This led Ryan to ask whether a billionaire was the one who built the house to dispel the conspiracy theories. Bjarni explained that this replaced a much smaller house, which had once accommodated bird scientists studying the rare puffins inhabiting the island.

The Icelandic guides also explained that there was enough food in the pantry for a week and the house featured a small workshop as the nearest hardware shop was miles away.

With the weather threatening to break, Ragnar made sure they got back to the bigger island to avoid bad seas, which would have kept them there for days.

Ryan’s adventure ultimately uncovered that the house is more of a quirky tourist attraction rather than a hotbed of mystery cults or billionaires. Its past is steeped in scientific research rather than secretive schemes.
