Someone on another forum pointed me to the amazing website, so in the spirit of Halloween I thought I'd share with you fine folks.

This was the shot that got me hooked:


Enjoy.

Ive been down there

Too bad they are closing it up now :/ it was a pretty cool place to go
Its really freakin dark down there, without lights its pitch black. Very cool though.

That's so freaking cool. There's this abandoned gas station up on the miller trunk road, and it's TOTALLY creepy. There was a handgun with bullets in one of the drawers below the register that HAD been locked at one point, but the lock was so rusted we busted it off and opened it. We took all of our pictures, then called the police to have them get it, just in case kids got in there and grabbed it. This place was TOTALLY creepy, as it was basically ABANDONED. Like, ABANDONED. The shelves are half stocked, a hobo used to live in the back, the basement is full of critters, the roof is caving in on one place, the toilet in the bathroom works [doesn't have water.] and there is a bunch of stuff that makes it look like it was just used last week, and other things that show it's been abandoned for almost 3 years.

A REALLY creepy place. They just borded it up last weekend, too. I wonder how it remained completelly un-inspected until we looked in there? It's not like it's in the middle of nowhere, it's right in the middle of town.

aglar! holy crap. hey man.

Yeah, I was just about to say, when did you resurface? Just in time for Halloween, eh? :p

Wow! neat places. I wish there were some abandoned places to explore where I live.

Looks like a great place to place paintball in

http://www.abandoned-places.com/ is another site with some great pictures.

Hey Evad, Daft

I visited a few weeks ago, and posted a bit today. I'm going to try and make a bit of a comeback.

Kirby - Gas station sounds awesome. I've always wanted to explore abandoned places like this, but I think I'd be too afraid of the real dangers (cave-ins, rotted floors, asbestos, etc).

On a more ethically questionable note, infiltration, where the site being explored is still active. I could have been arrested a couple times doing this one. Once, a few of us went up 43 flights of stairs in a neglected stairwell of a skyscraper to reach the top floor and see the view. We were spotted on a camera so they were ready to laugh at us and send us back down when we finally got to the top. This was pre-9/11, so they were more forgiving of such things.

I have explored abandoned places too though, including the foundation of an old water filtration plant. The top was totally destroyed and they were getting around to clearing the rest of it, but there was a huge network of concrete tunnels, partially underground, complete with the usual homeless encampments etc. Then you have your usual construction sites, warehouses, and so forth. You really do have to be careful doing this though, the dangers are real (talked a couple people out of exploring an old school because of the abestos thing... it's a shame, because I bet that place is beyond creepy-cool inside).

There's an old abandoned orphanage near where I live. It's this huge three story building that you can see from miles away because it's situated on the top of a hill. I've been busting to go explore it but everyone I know is too chicken to come along.

There needs to be a site where you can get information on places near yourself.

So that these places can be explored.

usually if you search for "Abandoned (city)" in google you can find listings of abandoned buildings and stuff around you.

[btw just in case you havent figured it out, its not exactly legal to be exploring these places. Most of them have No Trespassing signs up]

All I get are results for proposed government programs.

Ab&oned olo

Great snaps. Look like some really great filming locations for a movie.

Wow, those do look quite good.
