Abandoned Addiction
Sep 20, 2011 23:30:32 #
I have a huge passion for abandoned buildings and places. I am also the co-founder and lead investigator of a Paranormal group. The draw is the history and the mystery. Who walked there before me? Who may still walk there? I love to explore and research these various locations, and of course photograph them. I feel there is so much beauty in decay and you never know when the building and the opportunity to photograph it will be gone. Here are a few shots of places I've visited and explored. If you have any interest our paranormal website is:

I've not been there, but it sounds very interesting. I have heard of both of those locations. I would love to check them out sometime.

If you haven't already been to Savannah, Georgia, you need to visit the Pirate's House...... its the oldest building in Savannah and was used by pirates with underground tunnels etc. They claim its still haunted by some of the Pirates. Portions are a restaurant now and we had dinner there. Its a great old building and much fun to listen to the stories..

I've never been but it does indeed sound very intriguing. Any place with alleged paranormal activity always sparks my interest. I say alleged because I first try to find the logical explanation, it can't always be done.

It's a beautiful old farmhouse with many out buildings and even graves in the back. I believe it was built in 1866. Last I heard someone may have bought the old place. The last people who lived there only stayed six weeks due to strange occurrences. You are not far from it at all, about an hour or less.

Your pictures are great! I love abandoned buildings also. There's something about these kind of structures that beg for photos, since most of them won't be around very long. Good job.

Neat photos---thanx for sharing them. Why do you suppose the farmhouse door was installed upside down ???

Thank you, very much appreciated! I love these old structures and they do somehow whisper "come photograph me". I like to capture what is left before it's gone forever.

Good question and thanks for pointing that out. I never really noticed that before. That door is on a much older part of the house and what I believe was once the kitchen due to the furnishings. It was also somewhat separated from the main structure. The kitchen, in the old days, would often be a separate structure from the main house in case of a fire.
