The abandoned house of a German American family sits secluded in the woods. The inside is a time capsule of family heirlooms and vintage furnishings. Take a step inside through the pictures below. As an urban explorer, I am always seeking out the most interesting abandoned places. Ones filled with objects left behind, that can tell a story. Those that ask questions like why would this happen or what happened to a family that they would leave everything behind? Sometimes the questions are better left unanswered, as the imagination can truly be the best storyteller. This goes for an abandoned house of a German American family that I recently found. It sits secluded in the woods, and the inside is a time capsule of family heirlooms and vintage furnishings. Take a step inside through the pictures below.

What do you think ?

Find it very odd. The inside looks like they were stuck in the 60's, but the car outside looks modern.

This looks staged, like a post-Apocalyptic movie set. The exterior paint on the house is not weathered. There’s Hollywood stunt debris carefully and evenly (!) scattered around the perimeter of a room, but nothing in the middle of the floor, dust-free objects artfully placed next to more detritus, mismatched objects from very different eras, but not positioned in places where they would normally be kept, and where are all the dead roaches, flies, ants, mice, rats, spider webs, mold and fungus, etc.?

You can say or believe what you want but this was how the house looked when I entered it and left it. So regardless of what you think it looks like I can assure that was not the case.

Podunkus - you said it more succinctly than I could have.

Definitely looks staged, for esthetics. I would be more impressed if I believed all the artifacts were definitely from the same home. That being said it shouldn't be that difficult to fine any surviving family members if there are any.
