Best guesses for why these people left their home?

So on a drive to staff a summer camp, I stumbled upon this place. I know absolutely nothing but I am incredibly curious. Why did someone just ditch their home with most of their personal belongings still in it?

Sorry for the poor quality, I'm not a photographer and I was using a phone camera. Please share your thoughts.







I'm just very lost.

There are houses exactly like this all across the country from the Everglades to Anchorage Alaska. Really the only fun part about places like this for me is looking at old fixtures, switches, molding/framing and electrical but more interesting is to speculate as to why the house was left as is.

I really love to see photos like the one above, it just really adds to the mystery. Like that looked like a healthy family, what went wrong? Where are they now? So much private history has been through that house, things you'll never know.

Interesting find! Houses with things inside still are one of the most melancholy for me; we're so connected to our possessions and then when they're all left behind it evokes so many questions. I feel the same way at estate sales, all of this was a persons life and for whatever circumstances it is now for sale to the highest bidder. An entire life collection broken up and distributed around to strangers or sitting to rot and disintegrate as it is here.

And keep shooting

I love finding old wallpaper in places like this. Nobody uses that stuff today.
