My apologies in advance for the photos in this thread. Its extremely humid in East Texas and my camera fogged up as soon as I got out of the car. As you will read below I really didnt want to wait for it to warm up.
I was driving in East Texas this morning and after making my 2nd sales call I decided to take the road less traveled to see if I could find anything interesting to pop off a few photos of. While driving I passed this road:
1.
Upon seeing it I knew that there HAD to be something down there thats old. My SUV didnt really fit but nothing ventured, nothing gained right?
I pull up and I see the front of the house and it looks pretty shabby.
2.
As I get out I call out to see if anyone is home. The entire place is completely overgrown so I was pretty confident it was empty but this IS Texas after all and every dumbass in the state has a gun. So I look through the garage windows and see that its full of old furniture and general junk. Once again I feel like I'm on the right track.
I then begin to look for an entrance. I look to the left:
3.
Then I look to the right:
4.
I decide that left seems to be the path of least resistance so I head on through the dense foliage in search of exploration bliss. As I begin my entrance through jungles that the Viet Cong couldn't even traverse I notice something unusual - a new power meter.
5.
But whats REALLY unusual is that this thing is spinning 90 to nothing! Something was sucking up the juice. I pause and listen and I cant hear anything but the wonderful sounds of nature and my now increased heart rate throbbing in my ears.
I proceed around the side of the house and up to the front door. I called out and got no response so I looked through the door window. To the left were stairs going up, an open door in front of me and junk everywhere. I then knock on the door, wait and listen and hear nothing so I try the doorknob and its locked.
Something didn't seem right - everything in me was telling me to get the hell outta there so I turned around and went to leave. As I got back to the driveway I decide to snap a few shots of the power meter to try some gif animation at home.
I got one shot off and high tailed it outta there. The meter had slowed down to a crawl!
I have no idea if anyone was in this place but I wasnt taking any chances. This house creeped the hell outta me for some reason. This is not a location I will be visiting again.
