Description This was taken a few days ago about half a mile away from my home. I've been wanting to shoot there for a long time, so I finally mustered the courage to check it out.

Looks like you are doing some paranormal investigations!

House has been crumbling for at least 20 years. Since that was taken ~2013 I keep wanting to go back whenever I'm back on the property but don't since holidays are well...the holidays. Indiana winter isn't exactly kind when it comes to wanting to be out long anyhow.

Creepy looking. I would have wanted to explore.

Trust me I went all over that property. The house itself was caving in so it was unsafe to even walk on the damn porch.

I take the photo-journalistic approach to photography. If you don't have the balls to stand on that ledge to challenge your "fear" then you aren't doing your job. I can't swim, but when I'm shooting the cherry blossoms at the Tidal Basin in DC I'll crouch about a foot if not closer to the ledge of the water if that's what it takes. Another time...this is my favorite I climbed the wall over a parking garage just to get a good areal shot from across the mall.

Oh my! My fear is of falling o.o

For my line of work it's an occupational hazard. Moreover, falling was the first lesson I ever got in therapy. So the fear of knowing how to catch myself when I already balance on one leg like a cat just kinda adds to the bunch. ;~P

Haha XD
I'm extremely clumsy, so I don't know how that'd work.

Tell me about it. I went back there two times. Each time I started to hear music from Silent Hill and expected to see a nurse walk out at any minute.

or worse: a Pyramid Head, and the stairs you came down has suddenly turned into an endless hallway.

Yeah. That was up a bit from my parents home in Evansville IN. The house is abandoned and literealy about to collapse in on itself. I tell ya bub that house is creepier than sin. The whole time I was there I felt like I was walking into someplace in Silent Hill and a mannequin would make an appearance.

I returned to "Silent Hill" today. I used a longer lens, so I got tighter shots into the basement.

Up the road from me. Here in Evansville IN.

I have a few others from the shoot yet to post. Hung up on tags. I thought the place would make an ideal dungeon shoot. That is if the beams could support it.

Well if you do swing this way detour to Indy then we could both head back here. The owner is quite paranoid about everything.

Or send them to Konami for that matter. I thought of adding to the description "Where are mannequins when you think you will see them?!" After all that's what it felt like as I was taking it.
