Abandoned House: Chandler, AZ

We found this place along the road on the way to the farm and had to stop and film it.



Well, y'all know by now I can't pass up an abandoned site.



It looked like it was waiting for a very creepy Halloween party. Set designers could learn a lot about horror movies sets by studying the weather-aged surfaces of this place.



The thing I love about these places is that they have been devoid of life and left for nature to take over. There's something quite atmospheric and creepy about a place that should housing the living now housing the critters and vines, bees and dust. Creaking cabinet doors, grating metal dangling from the siding, all make the place smell, feel, and sound creepy.



You can imagine when it was charming and new and people had many dreams, births and deaths in such homes. At one time, someone lovingly hung curtains and painted the clapboard, planted a garden, watched a sunset. Now, the house clings desperately to leftover blinds and furnishings with no one around to recall the once happy memories.



This one had civilization all around it. I suspect they plan to tear it down soon and make room for more condos.
