Artwork and Images - To Catch A Fancy

Eerie.
This reminds me, there's a small abandoned house camouflaged in shrubs and a few miles from here in the middle of a forest, I found it back in 2012 while being dragged to some massive Easter egg hunt or something. Mail had been delivered sometime that year too though so I guess it wasn't much of a spooky find. :(

Pic! :)
 
I didn't take any photos of it, but after scouring the internet with some rather ingenious keywords, I found a reaaaalllly old photo of it!

I know this is it because of the area, road and stone wall. Although the road is long since disconnected and when I was there the front of it had a porch added.

Just mentally insert lots of extra bushes and a tree to the right side.
 
Wow Con, the motorcycle looks so anachronistic!
Very cool! If you hike that way again, we want an updated pic :D
 
When I was roaming around in my late teens, I once stayed with a friend way out in the sticks in a strange looking apartment building. He warned me that the place was weird, but I dismissed it and took up residence on the couch anyway. Place was an old two story building that had obviously been converted and was really old looking too.

Weird was an understatement. Kitchen cabinets and windows would open or close on their own when you left and came back and no one else was there, odd power fluctuations from room to room that seemed to have a pattern, and the worst was that, no matter what room you were in, you could hear sounds like groaning or coughing coming up from the heating grates in the floor. Always the same volume, sort of like a radio station that is only partially coming through and the volume is turned down low. Quiet enough to question, but clear enough to not be able to dismiss. The lady who lived upstairs with her son, told my friend it was an old hospital that used to house people dying of tuberculosis and other terminal illnesses. That was comforting.

One night, the power went out because of a storm, and we had to go manually flip the breakers in the basement. Sure enough, we found some exceptionally creepy things down there. Morgue shelves that had never been removed or covered up, old equipment and gurneys with what looked like restraints still attached, rusting away. But the oddest thing we came across, was a hole in a wall at the end of the hall. When you looked through, there was a room, void of anything, save for a large circular hole in the floor, which had what looked like an old furnace at the bottom. No stairs, no ladder, no way to get out if you jumped or fell in there. Fucking bizarre. I left after a month, and he moved out a couple of weeks later.

Now, here is the truly strange part. He and I used to tell people about the place, and we got asked to show it. Thing is, it wasn't there. Place is a small town, the downtown area consisted of little more than a bar and a gas station, so it wasn't like it would be hard to find. Lot where it was, empty. No signs of demolition or construction. Nobody we spoke to remembered there ever being either an old hospital or apartment building there. We even searched the internet and the library because we started to think people were messing with us. No record of any such place. Like it was never there.

This is the closest I can find to an image of kind of what it looked like, but it was longer, only two stories, and sat back from the road further. At least, I think it did.
