I grew up in the middle of nowhere. But down the road has always been an abandoned house. It's very overgrown, but what you can see is very pretty. Well for the first time in 23 years I finally drove down there to take a look inside. What a downer. It was disgusting inside. There was nothing beautiful about it. Half the stairs were missing, so going upstairs was not an option, even if it was, I would have no doubt fallen through the floor. Also upon first entering I was greeted by two dead cats, yum. Needless to say, I was very very disappointed. It had a more dirty aura than creepy.
I've also been trying to contact the owners of a large abandoned asylum, to see if they wouldn't mind me snapping a few pictures inside. Easier said than done to contact anyone about anything....uhg. Just not my day I guess.
But, I already have three new houses scouted out, so on my next days off, exploring I will go.
