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.

Someone on another forum said I probably suffered those symptoms because of some traumatic event in close resonance to the video that happened in the past.

From left to right:
 - Abandoned House 859 (compilation of 41 interior/exterior shots here)
 - Abandoned House 835
 - Abandoned House 825 (exterior shots of the house in November 2007 here)
 - Abandoned House 787 (the one in the video)
 - Abandoned House 777 (I'm not even going to begin stating how creepy this house is)

All of them have been heavily damaged.

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.

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?

1. I like photography.
2. I play the drums.
3. I'm a "veteren member" of several other forums.
4. I had a fear of roller coasters that I overcame when I was 13.
5. My hair used to be extremely short, before I started growing it longer.
*6. I share an odd number of coincidences with one of my friends.
7. I suffered insomnia, immunity to pain, and several other strange side effects for two weeks after watching this video. To this day I still have no idea why the video caused the strange effects.
8. One of my hobbies is exploring abandoned buildings.
9. I will be working at my dad's company this summer. I'll be coding with HTML and a bit of Java.
10. I am allergic to certain processed foods.

*We both used to live in the same town. I moved to a different town in 4th grade, and in 5th grade, he moved to the same town I moved to. His mother and my father went to the same high school. They're both the same age. We both have the same drum teacher. We were born within five days of each other. We were in almost all of the same classes since 5th grade. And some more stuff too.

With all the warm weather coming in, I should be able to take more pictures.
I also got a new camera with more megapixels a few days ago. Here's one of the first pictures I took with it:

I tried applying depth of field to it, but it didn't come out the way I wanted it to. Oh well.

Pokémon Red and Gold were pretty good in my opinion.
Also, I got the cell phone number of a girl I like. Yay.

Disney's Animal Kingdom. Expedition Everest can be seen in the background.
I went there with the rest of the people in my school's band as part of a four-day field trip.
