Old Abandoned House -- Loaded with CraqueluresteemCreated with Sketch.

in photography •  7 years ago 

A creepy old house that I've passed by a few times and finally got up enough nerve to stop and take a look inside.

It's always a little intimidating when the front door is wide open as if, by personification, the house is proclaiming: "come on in, what could possibly go wrong???"

What could go wrong? -- I don't know -- maybe:

  • wild nesting animals,
  • a drug or snake den,
  • weak/rotten floorboards causing me to fall clear through to the basement. It has a basement? Yikes!!!
  • winding up on the wrong end of a shotgun ...

You want paint crackle?, well this house has it in spades. For an example, just check out that front door-knob image.

I did venture inside a little ways, but there was no way I was going to chance it by climbing up those stairs! They look like that haven't seen a vacuum, well, since around the time when the electric vacuum was invented.

Maybe next time ...

wait untill midnight and go back to the house to climb those stairs, and do a live video about it :)

creepy house thats for sure, but whats upstairs!!

Cool! If it were in our country, it would definitely be some drug lair, junkyard or a home of homeless people.

Very old house

Wow that is so creepy it's like it's calling our name to come inside . I'd probably starting seeing things if I went in there.

Breaking rules and going in is always much more adventurous:D

Nice work @cognoscere How old building look so beautiful its really the magic of your photography

Looks like it may collapse any minute. But scarily impressive!

Gosh, I can feel the chills looking from my computer. I think you made the right choice in not climbing the stairs lol. But, if you do, make sure you post here! :)

Time cruelly destroys wooden houses...

I bet that house was beautiful at one time. It's a shame it's left to rot. I wonder what happened to the owners? What's curious is the walls being ripped out. I wonder if someone was remodeling or something destroyed the inside. I love exploring old houses to see what signs of previous owners are left behind. An old name carved into a wall or an object left behind is so interesting to find and makes you wonder what significance it had to someone else.

the place is look dead but alive with the colors, textures and feeling that someone is still living here. it's interesting to stay in the place like this for a whole night and to listen for a sounds and voices

kind of horrorful but i enjoyed it :D thanks for taking the risk lol :D

Those stairs look surprising solid it seems from what I can see. Would need to see behind them to get a true idea. If the wood has been kept dry (not a big roof leak) they may be ok? Probably best to be careful!

That house has some seriously cool character! Would be fun to rehab!
