Yeah, sometimes for work i have to pass through the town of Eufaula, Alabama and there's a real spooky old southern-style abandoned house right off the road. I keep meaning to stop and take a picture someday, lol...
These are beautiful.
Howdja like the eyes in the first pic?

Must be time for my medication, I could swear I see FJA looking out the window. Love these creepy houses.
I didnt notice that before, wonder if it's someone or a trick of the eye, shadows, broken glass, light,etc.

I can't see any eyes in the 1st pic, but I can be a slow study. Give me a hint?
There's an old country church in rual IL, 2+ hours from me, sits across from an old cemetary. If you look dead-on at the steeple/doorway, the doorway & windows form a face. Very effective, sorry I don't own a camera. CreepysFan photos rock too!

On the first pic, the two windows form what look like eyes, as the roof of the house is the head.
Here is an old abandoned house about 5 blocks away, complete with a small unkept cemetery in the back (only about 8 to 10 headstones, probably a forgotten family plot). I took these this afternoon.

Great pics people, love this stuff, especially old graveyards and the covered bridges ring out Sleepy Hollow! Thanks for posting, really enjoy this thread.
Teufel,
The covered bridge reminds me of the scene in Silver Bullet where the kid in the custom wheel chair gets chased by the Reverend/Werewolf.Great photo !
"What else would I use a silver bullet for?"
"How about to kill a Werewolf."

Awesome pictures especially of the tree Ents. Many of our old houses have long since fell to make room for housing developments.
True, which is really sad. A lot of the old Victorian houses really had beautiful and unique architecture, and would be fantastic looking if repaired. Today's houses just don't have the style of some of these older houses of by-gone era's.

I agree. There is something truly sad every time a magnificent American Gothic house is torn down to make room for some crackerbox housing development. Or worse. Locally a few wonderful farm houses and outbuildings were demolished, and in their place, the developers "built"-and I use that term loosely-- McMansions pattered after Thomas Kincaid cottages. Thats right: real charm destroyed for faux style.
Even worse--many of these lost houses contain many easily salvaged components that could have been used elsewhere.

I totally agree. My wife and LOVE the Victorian style houses inside and out. Especially if they have the cool color combos like yellows purples magenta etc. If we had the means I would certainly move away from the rat race and live in one in a small town. Back in 90' I lived for a short time in an 1898 semi Victorian with the loong winding stair case ,trap door to the creepy basement and stained glass front door. It was in Marinette WI. I paid $23,500 because it was a TLC type fixer upper and my mortgage and taxes were $20 less than my SUV payment. The downside is that jobs that paid much over minimum wage were HTF. So after 18 mos back to the Chicago area. :'( I wish I was still up there.

Agreed buddy.......my house is only 6 years old. All the modern conveniences. Blahhhhhhhhhhhh. My dream is to get the hell out of Florida and back to where there are SEASONS, and buy an OLD Victorian for Nancy and I. She loves the old slightly c reepy houses too.
This is a cool thread! All the spooky houses, trees, and graveyards are cool looking!

I couldn't agree more, only wish all of the images were still here. :(
Many years ago I got lost while driving in the eastern U.S. and ended up in the wrong state.
Retracing my route through the backwoods of New Jersey, I came upon a most haunted-looking
abandoned house. There was no film left in my camera so I had to backtrack and buy an (expired)
roll from a general store I remembered passing several miles earlier. It was worth the hassle >

Off that same rural highway, the eeriest graveyard I'd ever seen came into view. It looked to be
lost and forgotten to all time, with at least one headstone dating back to 1801 >
(https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/640x480q90/9/ruralroutegraveyardjp2.png)
Years later an artistic friend created a montage from cut-outs of the two sites, pasted onto a board.
It's in storage now but really needs to be framed and hung up in my monster room. I'll get to it ...
