Abandoned homes

Craig County, Virginia, USA

When we call a place home, instead of a house, we’re ascribing a sort of positive emotion to it. But on the flip side, a windowless, empty house can evoke melancholy, sad, and even spooky emotions as our brains wonder why the people left in the first place. Mortgage costs are boring, it must be ghosts.

Old abandoned houses tell a story. Even if the story is not documented in history, each abandoned home gives us a glimpse into a life once lived.

There’s something so eerie and breathtaking about the places that haven’t seen a human for longer than they can remember. Sadly, in our increasingly urbanized world, there are not many corners left like this.

Deserted Places on Instagram: "The wonderful Hunting Palace in the park of the castle of Chignolo Po. It was built in the Baroque style in the 18th century, and it was mainly used for parties and banquets.

I wouldn't be caught dead in this town.

This farmhouse from 1889 holds the stories of a family that helped build its surrounding community. Today it sits empty and is for sale.
