Abandon house

I wouldn't be caught dead in this town.

I found this abandoned old house in the forest near my house [960x540] [OC] by logwater on Flickr.

If you think these abandoned houses look cool now, just imagine them restored!

One thing that I firmly believe all human beings share is our inner yearning for adventure. We might try and satisfy this calling with good movies, awesome video games, or top-tier tabletop games like Dungeons and Dragons (as a Dungeon Master of several years, I’m guilty of this). However, at the end of the day, there’s no real substitute for going out into the field with your own two feet and starting your very own adventure going into the abandoned and mysterious corners of the Earth.

From covering our eyes during a suspicious scene of a horror film to clutching onto an adult’s hand while walking through a Mystic Manor...

At the crossroads of memory and imagination, abandoned homes can comes back to life. You can practically smell the home-cooked meals, hear the faint murmur of bedtime stories, and taste the fare of dinner parties gone by.
