(Viewed 1985 times) brandue  Location: gloucester va Gender: Male  |  Abandoned houses, yes or no? < on 6/27/2007 8:54 PM >   i've heard quite a bit on this forum about people not being interested in abandoned houses. maybe its the lack of options in my area or just my interest in homes. the only non-residental places i've been in this area is the purina factory and the army base near patrick henry (that i can remember right now). i have been in many houses around my area. i like the one on the road to beaver dam park in gloucester, where i live. a lot of times its like the people just leave all there stuff and bolt. in this particular house there were records and checks (written out!) all over the floor. one thing that was neat is that the fireplace had fallen off the house leaving a giant hole in both the upstairs and down. let me know what ya think. sorry, no pics, re-did hard drive with out thinking of all my pics.

It depends on the size and content of the house. www.freewebs.com/k...kpsychiatriccenter solstice  Location: Charlotte, NC Gender: Female Just assume I have no idea what's going on.  |  Re: Abandoned houses, yes or no? <Reply # 3 on 6/27/2007 10:09 PM >   Personally, I like an abandoned house as much as something big like a mill or factory. Most houses have little fragments of the former residents that I find interesting--photos, books, Christmas cards, etc. I guess I'm nosy, but I love looking at stuff like that. I like a location which someone had a personal attachment to as much as an industrial site. I think that sometimes houses don't afford as many offers for great photography as something like a hospital or industrial site, but then photography isn't the only reason I explore. So there's my babbling two cents. I <3 archaic industry. zachhhhh  Location: hampton roads, va Gender: Male  |  |  |  Re: Abandoned houses, yes or no? <Reply # 4 on 6/27/2007 10:28 PM >   sometimes houses can be just as fun as any other place..and other times they can be kinda worthless..say a house abandoned from a fire compared to one just forgotten about with nothing left in it..

I've posted a couple to the database that I thought were interesting. Normally I like to explore factories or mills, but when you don't have abandoned ones around you, you have to settle for less. Jake Swick  Location: Seattle, WA Gender: Male  |  |  Re: Abandoned houses, yes or no? <Reply # 7 on 6/28/2007 4:02 AM >   I honestly don't see why this is even under question. If it interests you, why not check it out? At most it'd take fifteen minutes of your time. Personally, I feel that houses can be even more fulfilling than factories or prisons, simply due to the attachment that is placed upon them.

It could just be a bunch of rednecks or illegal immigrants living in it. aGlock4u  Location: North Carolina Gender: Male Urbexing North Carolina  |  |  |  |  Re: Abandoned houses, yes or no? <Reply # 9 on 6/28/2007 4:18 AM >   Posted by tholcomb If you do try an abandoned house, make sure it's really abandoned.

It's very important to make sure they're really abandoned though, as already said. I spotted a place that looked worthwhile only to find a car hidden behind the overgrown yard and someone living in the dump. But yeah, houses can be a lot of fun.

I've never noticed an abandoned house on Roaring Springs Rd. Is it in plain view? its down a chained off dirt road in the woods, if going towards beaver damn its on the right. i usually park in the overflow parking and walk there, bout 1/4 mile. every one is right, you should explore what interests you, i was just trying to see what everyone thought. also if anyone had any good ones in this area. i'd like people to name a few, maybe some pics. nik61  Gender: Male  |  Re: Abandoned houses, yes or no? <Reply # 15 on 7/7/2007 3:15 PM >   Whats the best way to be sure houses are vacant? tholcomb  Location: Chattanooga, TN Gender: Male Captain Baghead!  |  Re: Abandoned houses, yes or no? <Reply # 16 on 7/7/2007 5:12 PM >   Drive by at night & see if any lights are on. Debi  Location: Worcester County, MA Gender: Female  |  Re: Abandoned houses, yes or no? <Reply # 17 on 7/7/2007 7:41 PM >   What you enjoy exploring should be your own personal opinion; not that of others. I think the thing with "abandoned" houses is what has already been said in this forum; they are not always abandoned. Or sometimes they will even be "booby-trapped" by some crackheads or squatters. I personally don't care much for mills and factories, which is what a lot of people like to explore. Maybe its because we have more mills and factories per square capita than convenience stores! robofuture  Location: Norfolk Gender: Male no  |  Re: Abandoned houses, yes or no? <Reply # 18 on 7/11/2007 9:10 PM >   Houses are all the same inside I dont bother with them at all but theres always a chance that you will find something really sweet inside. Help mANVIL  Gender: Male  |  Re: Abandoned houses, yes or no? <Reply # 19 on 7/12/2007 12:31 PM >   In general I enjoy exploring locations I would otherwise never get to see - i.e. asylums, military bases, prisons, power plants, steel mills, factories etc... The fact that I have been inside a house nearly every day for the last 26 years sort of takes the interest out of it. UER Forum > Archived US: Mid-Atlantic > Abandoned houses, yes or no?
