Hello everyone! Totally diggin' this thread. Some really great shots being thrown up here.

Hopefully, if plans hold out, I will be shooting an abandoned place on Saturday. I won't give any hints about the place, for I am hoping the shots will speak on their own.

Hey!! Glad you'll be posting! ....Can't wait to see it!



[So ya going back now? :lmao: ]

Well...the way I see it, I really have no choice! :shock: ....Now do *I*??



Hey, umm.....anyone wanna come along!????? :blushing:




LMAO!

Thanks Chiller, there are days that I wish I lived where I was taking those shots, because it was so beautiful at sunset. But I was just working there to make the lawn beautiful. But I totally swear that there was a ghost or something causing trouble.. hahaha

I have that same problem Miss Bully. Where I shot the old mill shots is a place I would love to live. There are small waterfalls everywhere like this one.

​

Years ago this on top of this hill another mill sat until it went down in flames too. ​

Note to self: :er: When tresspassing on private property to poke around abandoned places.....fer gawd sake quit looking around at all the cool things to "shoot", and watch out for those boards with long, dull, rusty nails sticking out of them! :raisedbrow: Dang.

OK....well, tetanus shots are up to date, and 'implied' foot was cleansed...and will be fine.

I went back, oh yes I did!!! LOL!! Soooo, this is one shot, I have a few more (which I will post later). I didn't see or hear anything while I was there, but I got a few good shots!

This is a close-up of the previous picture. I finally saw the owner and he gave me permission. I talked to him a bit about the building. I guess this is the original house that was buitl in like 1902. The roof was replaced in 1908 with the roof of a train depot in town. Then the sides were replaced in something like 1915. They were brought over on horse and buggy. Once the family moved out of there, it was turned into a grain mill. Pretty neat learning on the history of the building.

I am always looking for C & C as always. Thanks

....More of the old abandoned stone farm house. Let me know what you think of them...I've been experimenting with different tones, colours, etc!!

Thanks!

#4 (This is looking into one of the old sheds...this is the same shed with the old baby buggy as seen up above sometwhere!)

#5 (This is a slightly different photo than in my other post, above.)....

I like number 2 & 4 the best. #4 always creeps me out when I look at it. I'm thinking sometihng is going to jump out. Maybe the ghost from above. Do you dare go down the stairs in #2, or is that where picture 4 comes from?

 

[Artograph]

Well, #2 is the cellar entrance, at the side of the house...and obviously it is open. It's also a very short doorway. And I assme that it's merely just a cellar, formerly used to store veggies??

I'm not sure you'd even catch me at the bottom of the steps to get a better look inside!! Though I *am* curious!! ...The "chicken" part of me over-rides the *curious* side of me most times (but give me time)!!!! LOL!

I would love to get just a wee peek in one of the main floor windows...

No, #4 is actually a shed/little barn thing. It's narrow, but quite long, and there is a tractor (thats not that old) inside one part. The part that I shot is sort of like a stall area...? THAT was where I stuck a nail into my foot! The house is scarier than the barn thing...or at least I think so.

You can see this ghost thing?? I can't see it!??? (Am I the only one?) LOL!


You also got some cool shots!! Neat to get info on an old place! 3 and 4 are my faves! ...I love the grain of that old wood! :O)

Hank and Arto fantastic finds! The photos are wonderful. I am soo loving this!
I just found out today that we have a haunted hotel not too far away from where I live ( http://getinnidaho.com/ )That I sooo want to go to. Also they are going to have a spook alley in Oct. at the haunted Albion Normal College. So I am just getting chills I am so excited! Hope I can go to either one, and get pictures!

Thanks!! I love this thread too...I just feel like I'm monopolizing it a wee bit lately....sorry!! :blushing:

Eeek!! It looks like an old institution!!?? Creeeepy!! I have a friend (that I met on a Canadian parenting forum) that is going to stay at a supposedly haunted hotel in Victoria, BC (Canada) this weekend. She is hoping to bring back all kinds of yummy stories for me!!!

Good luck!! I hope you are able to bring back some cool pics too!!

 

[Big Bully]

Oh yeah tell me about it. I have been dying to go to the college for some time now. But now that someone is buying up the buildings I think this just might be my only chance to not really get into trouble.
And staying at the inn, would just be cool!

So Saturday was pretty miserable here in PA...wicked humid, rainy, sticky...gross. But I did get to where I was going and took some shots. Hope you enjoy them!

Oh, I almost forgot...this is Eastern State Penitentiary. Been featured on many TV shows. So yeah, it's not REALLY abandoned...but I'm not a true UE either. I'm a scaredy kitten

 

[Artograph]

Very cool shots RBR!! I especially like 3 and 6!!

Thanks! #3 is a cell block that was closed off by cyclone fencing so I couldn't get any further down there

#6 is the second floor of cell block 7, just something about that one that drew me in

I have some more shots, but will have to post more later. Still at work! :er:
