Abandoned House near DACRE

August 2009
Near DACRE Ontario


While exploring the back roads West of Ottawa, taking a slightly wrong path, we stumbled upon an abandoned house, next to an abandoned ski lift (another post another day). There was no driveway, but we made our way along an old lane, hiking through the bush, and fighting tall weeds. The house has been stripped and left to rot for many years.




The windows have all been smashed.

Garage/Backroom/Bathroom.






The living room.




Nature is reclaiming the house.

Upstairs.



Horror movie ideas were flashing through my head. I half-expected to climb the stairs and find a half rotted corpse of a hippie/squatter in the bedroom, and her decapitated boyfriend in the yard. We did find a dead mouse and a dead bird. Cause of death . . . unknown.








A very interesting find. Long abandoned, and no hope for a future. Who lived here and why did they leave?
