Old, aged, and cracked asphault lies beneath the weeds, almost hiding the road and all of its
secrets completely.
Magestic yet empty and lifeless, the house is sometimes said to live a life of its own.
Abandoned since being moved from across the highway, voices and lights are still said to come
from within the walls.
This structure looks as though it won't be with us for very much longer. The rustic barn
looks as if it may topple at any moment.
Once a place of much activity, it lies quiet today. Shadows and eyes have been seen watching
us from the upper levels at night, while animal eyes glow and hop about in the tall grass
surrounding the lower levels.
Just beyond the overgrowth is this house. It lies in a clearing, as if the brush is still
tended by unseen hands.
The house is boarded up and the side is almost hidden in thorny brush.
This is definitely the more frightening of the two. The entrance is open, but the structure
is full of bees and wasps.
Who knows what past this area holds. Perhaps someone died here and has never been
discovered. It seems to be home to some wandering host. A host that perhaps tried to reveal
itself...
I photographed something in the trees that wasn't visible to my own eyes. A fuzzy mist,
opaque in the middle with indentations where eyes, a nose, and a mouth should be appeared
in the picture. What is this? You decide.
