Author Topic: An Even More Unsettling Discovery  (Read 23070 times)

« on: April 19, 2008, 08:05:04 AM »
A few days ago, I discovered an abandoned house not too far away from my house.
Equipped with a camcorder and an empty miniDV, I ventured inside. This is what I recorded.

What the heck happened to that place?

Interesting video. I thought you were a wimp for going during the day until you went into that dark section of the house. I'm surprised there wasn't any homeless people in there.

I've also got another video, except it's of an abandoned mansion next door to the house in the first video. As soon as it's finished uploading, I'll post the link.
Interestingly, a lot of valuables were left inside. Two large Bose speakers, an old Windows 95 computer, binders full of misc. information, etc.

That is creepy as all heck. Living near a wooded area myself, I know of at least two houses like that near where I live, as well as a super-crazy-creepy place near where I lived as a little kid.

Near my current abode is a cluster of burnt-out houses in some woods; judging by the abundance of rusted metal structures and stairways leading underground (I can count two just from looking at its front) I'd say it was some sort of industrial area or mining camp that was abandoned, then grown over by the forest. One of these days I intend to muster up some courage and have a look around.

There's also a house on the side of the road that used to sell ham back in the '60s from what I hear, but was simply abandoned and is now pretty much held together by all the vines growing all over it. Sadly, it collapsed completely before I had the chance to explore it.

And back where I used to live as a kid, there was this haunted-mansion type place that would flash some lights inside every now and then, like someone was throwing a rave in there (which, come to thin of it, was probably true).

The entire southeasternmost section of the neighborhood is composed of nice, albeit abandoned, houses.
The garage door on an house 859 was left open, so I went inside. There, I found the following:
 - Old '90s-style computer
 - Monitor
 - Mouse
 - Two keyboards
 - Three Bose speakers
 - Misc. remote controls
 - Pool operation instructions
 - College notes (University of Chicago)
 - Bill payment sheets
 - Wigs
 - Fur coats
 - Gramophone
 - A large expanse of books
 - Kitchen supplies
 - Women's underwear (seriously)
 - Windows 95 install disk
 - Gateway introduction disk
 - Several pennies
 - Well-preserved VCR video labeled "Goldberg-Tarshis"
 - Water bed mattress
 - Floor lamp
 - Folding desk
 - Balloons
 - Dead plants
 - Pile of coat hangers

But this last thing I found just completely befundled me.
I found a note concerning the CIA.

Most of the stuff I found I took pictures of; they're in a .zip in my previous post in this topic.

So appearantly the Goldberg-Tarshis were expecting people to move in after they left. But that wouldn't explain why they would want to leave all of those personal items behind for the new residents.
Also, the man and woman's names are, respectively, Barry and Sherri.

And appearantly the last people to live in the houses had to leave in a hurry. One house had food left inside of it.

The tape can be explained with this very simple explanation: The basement is flooded with sewer water, about three feet deep.
I discovered that by accidently stepping in it.
Here's a picture of it:
http://i25.tinypic.com/imnh5l.jpg
Note the ominous smiley face-shaped dents on the wall.

Also, all of the doors have been locked. Including the one I used to get inside of the house with that's shown in the video.
Luckily, someone completely broke one of the windows in the backyard. It should be big enough for someone to fit through.

Next time I get inside, I'm doing some serious investigating.

Sometime before the beginning of the next school year, my friend and I will analyze the data left on the VCR tape, the computer, the binders, and other objects.

And in my town, it's only considered tresspassing if you don't leave the property after your first warning.

Sounds like you could be in over your head here, man...

Well, on a similar note, I think I only said "Yes" to its disturbingness because of the things you found in there (since my dad has been in the business of snapping up old buildings to manage/sell, I've seen my fair share of dusty old haunts).

The worst one though, without question, was this closed-down Chinese restaurant on the same block as the rest of my dad's buildings. I had passed it by all the time and always wondered what it was like in there, but I think I was better off not knowing. I think what happened is the family (the Lees, I believe) lived in the back of the restaurant (there are multiple rooms--we turned it into a mini-student housing bulding now), but they were forced to shut down because they had horrible sanitary conditions and were allegedly raising livestock in the back rooms (there were multiple "Best Take-Out" awards lying around the place, so they must have done something right at some point). When they were told to leave, they left. As far as I can tell, they didn't take anything.

Some alarming things:

-Multiple hidden packets of what may or may not have been some kind of crack/meth (the Lees were/are apparently druggies. We think they also took a dump on the back porch of the place after we negotiated the deal because, well, that's what was there).
-The kitchen, literally covered in a thick layer of grease.
-Several dead rats--one in a wok on the frying pan.
-Rat nests under things.
-A door with a latch on the outside and scratches on the inside (this totally freaked us out until we deduced that was probably where they kept the animals.
-Wiring in a light that was apparently just two wires hand-fused together (the ceiling above it was lightly scorched).
-Needles above an outside freezer of sorts.
-Copious external grafetti.

You wouldn't know it now, though... the place is really fixed up (my family/the local college who owns it now did a ton).

Actually, the ferris wheel is located in Pripyat, which is just outside of Chernobyl.

On a different note, there's also a strange abandoned house on the other side of a street near my house. From what I've seen, it was a house, then an abandoned house, then a Korean church of some kind, then an abandoned house again. I couldn't get inside, but I remember seeing some weird stuff in there.
There's also an abandoned office complex near my school. I plan on exploring it sometime.

Also, ShadowBrain, if you went inside an abandoned mansion, found a bunch of stuff you weren't supposed to see (CIA-related notes, binders full of strange information, wigs and makeup, notes regarding unpaid bills, etc.), wouldn't you want to analyze any leftover data you could find?

As an educated Christian, I can't let this stand as "truth." Rather than saying "homosexuals are evil," it says "lying with another man is detestable." Of course, premarital intercourse is seen in the exact same light. Speaking of which, punishments for any crime were grave under the old covenant.

The New Testament mentions homosexuality approximately 3 times, but not in the context of punishment. Rather, it encourages people to not judge each other (1 Corinthians 6:7-8), as nobody is perfect enough to judge each other.

Hold on, hold on. CFMH is the same person as CTOAN? That's...wow.

Now, before we get back on topic, let's get something straight. The Bible specifically condemns homosexuality (doesn't matter what you call it, it means the same thing), and other stuff seen as "abominations", as evil, and lists a whole buncha deadly punishments for them. I used to know the specific sections, but I forget currently. Now, it's easy to brush that off as, "that was then, this is now", but the fact that these sections of the Bible are still there and have not been removed show that these beliefs are officially condoned by the Church, which is one reason why I, personally, quit being a Catholic.

Glorb, Glorb, Glorb, condemns means to "express strong disapproval of," and like I have previously said, it does not condemn homosexuality, but condemns "lying with another man," which is a clear and obvious euphemism. I encourage you to do some actual research in the Bible.

Here's a specific example (that I referred to earlier) which shows exactly what I'm talking about-- Leviticus 18:22. "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable." Note that this is said in the context of 20 other verses ordering the men of the Israelites to not defile themselves with relatives and such ("Do not have relations with your neighbor's wife and defile yourself with her."). People who committed such acts would be "cut off from their people," a particularly grave matter to the tribal Israelites.

EDIT: Ah, I just found what you might have been thinking about. Later on in Leviticus, "punishments for sin" are given to Moses. Somewhat amusingly, the majority involve death. Some of these are for when a man "curses his father or mother," "commits adultery with another man's wife," and yes, "lies with a man as one lies with a woman." Then, what of this "abomination" talk? Celibacy is encouraged throughout the Bible for various reasons; a homosexual man would thus be seen as far more righteous than a man who "curses" his parents.

Does that mean you're gay? *shudders at thought* I'm sure you're not.

All I can say is that there are sometimes when is it a good idea to keep quiet about personal beliefs.

There is one abandoned house 2 and 1/2 miles away from my place.  I'd like to explore it, but it's too close to town and it's on a fairly active state highway.  I am NOT taking any chances of getting caught.
There's one near my grandma's house, but it's been weathered to the point where it's in no shape for safe exploration.

WOAH! that was cool. And freaky. I would be nervous about exploring houses like that. I would explore more. This is like in Dean Koontz's famous novel "Watchers", when Travis gets home from his honeymoon, enters the house, and it smells very bad. There's a huge mess everywhere. Papers and shelves spilled across the whole house. He looks down and sees stains. Then he notices a body with the stomach cut open and his eyes missing. He walks into the dining room, AND A HUGE MONSTER COMES RUNNING RIGHT AT HIM!

I live next to what is effectively an abandoned house. The owners moved out about 6 months ago and it's just been sitting there since. There aren't any signs suggesting that it's for sale or rent.

The keys are locked in a box hanging on the back door. I could get in if I guessed the combination.
Remember that your first Goomba boldly you walk? When Mario touched that mushroom being brought up more largely remember that you are surprised? Miscalculate your jump that pit remember that it falls?

I'd swap your ranking.

@OP, if all your surrounding houses are vacant maybe YOU are the problem ;)

Fill with gas and put a match at the end, right? I saw this video once... (I also saw this thing on how to make it look like your fingers are on fire. I was going to do it for Halloween, but I was nervous)
