I am fond of abandoned places and things also, Julia. A few years ago, my friend Gina and I went looking for such places in the rural area where she lives, and I did a piece on Medium. We stopped at one abandoned house across from a prison. The moment I step out of the car I felt creepy all over. I wanted to leave immediately. Later, we learned that it used to be the prison warden's home. He was an evil man and someone murdered him in that house.
Like you, I wonder about the history of the homes and things. I wonder who owned them. Thanks for this piece. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
