Have you ever explored an abandoned building?

Question

What type of building was it and did you find anything interesting?

Answer 1

I do it all the time plus I love ghost towns. Here in Montana there are lots of them around. I also visit cemeteries. It is like a hobby. I never remove anything from them. I just pause and feel the energies present and open myself to those that remain. It is usually a very comforting experience. Peaceful too.

Answer 2

I lived in Palau for a year. If you visit Peleliu, they have a lot of Japanese caves and some HQ buildings. The caves were AWESOME! If you have seen Letters from Iwo Jima, you get the idea. They still have bullets, grenades, helmets, shoes, mortars, gas mask filters, shovel heads, cots, and occasional skull. I also went inside the HQ buildings that the Japanese used. We shelled the crap out of them, and the buildings must have been a target. They have collapsed somewhat from the effects of time, and they are covered in vines, but they still have a lot of cool stuff. One I went into had a stairway that led to the half collapsed second floor. The stairs still had some wood left on them. I found an old fashioned telephone on the floor as well. There were also two giant steel doors. One on the bottom floor, and the other on the second floor which takes some precarious climbing to reach. Inside the steel doors was a solid concrete room. I don't know what they stored in it, but apparently had to be secure, hence the giant doors. If you take a right, just before the stairs, it takes you to some side rooms. One of them was the latrine. All they are, are some holes in a tile floor. I don't think they had running water and I don't even think they had dividers. It just looked like they would have to squat over the hole in an open room and do their business. There was also an underground bunker right next door. It had a short ceiling, and I assume housed the officers during the shelling. That island had such cool stuff. I would go back in an instant. And one of the things that made it so cool was that people hadn't taken everything. It was like a museum, except I got to explore it for myself. I could go on and on about the awesome things I got to see while I was there. Maybe some other time.

Answer 3

As a youngster I would find and explore abandoned buildings looking for old calenders. I had nearly a 100 going all the way back to the turn of the century. That was 60 years ago and they disappeared somewhere in those years.

Answer 4

My sister and I checked out an abandoned house that was in the woods near our house. We didn't find anything really interesting but we both felt really sad about the house and tried to convince our parents to buy it and fix it up. There was also an abandoned mill right next to our house but we never went in there as I was quite sure that there were snakes and other creepy crawlies lurking in the dark. Strangely enough, neither place felt haunted or weird in any way.

Answer 6

a few times...the first was a huge lake house that had burned down when we were kids, the sunken bathtub and rotating hooks in the closet impressed us preteens; the second & third times i was with a guy, and ....well, figure it out! we DIDN'T doodle on the walls...but we DID find something of great interest!! ;-D

Prairie Crone - I like to explore cemeteries, too...they ARE very serene, aren't they?

Answer 7

I explored many abandoned buildings but the one that stayed with me was the abandoned insane asylum, the suffering and sorrow still clung to the walls...

Answer 8

yes, it was an old manufacturing plant and there were several interesting pieces of machinery which were still there. if one used their imagination one could see the plant in its heyday building machinery and the workers hurrying to keep up production. but then sadly one had to return to reality and leave.

Answer 9

no, but I explored a building as it was being built. It was just a house. It was fun to doodle on the walls.

What, I was 7!

Answer 10

Yes, It was a building that had burned down and my aunt and I were ghost hunting, we actually caught and EVP!
