On the edge of a small, unincorporated community in north-central Ohio sits a two-story abandoned house. The property is overgrown and the structural integrity of the house is questionable at best. Despite it's heavy deterioration, it is still full of furniture, clothing and other belongings of a family who, in all likelihood, hasn't stepped foot in their house since the late sixties.
