No wonder the "traveller" wants to be anonymous. Entering someone else's house without leave is illegal... and now showing off all the items and cars to people who can identify the building and go raid it for possible valuables? The reason the people left might be tragic and/or mysterious, but someone travelling around exposing other people's homes and belongings like this, is also very unpleasant in my opinion.

I really wish this had been laid out better. It would have been nice to have the pictures match the story.

Judging by the fact that those religious pictures are Christian Orthodox I would say it's probably true that they were Russian. Other countries that have a majority of Christian Orthodox populations are around the Balkan

"Fled hastily" Really, what are the chances in that? The owner died. Either they had no heirs and now the state is sitting on the estate not knowing what to do with it, or they had heirs who are likewise rich and not interested in the estate. That happens.

Okay yeah I'm like 99% sure the occupants of this house were brutally murdered?

Probably spies who had to leave cause found out. Might sound a bit too much but it happens 😋

I hope the plants got rescued. :/

There is more information on the Daily Mail. Still no update on the whereabouts of the owner though. But someone is definitely taking care of that potted plant. Also, did anyone else read Kings Landing instead of Kings Langley? That would have been something. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8339211/Creepy-abandoned-Hertfordshire-mansion-owned-mysterious-Greek-property-tycoon.html

The loan from the Russian Mafia was overdue so they repossessed the house and disappeared the former owners. Nobody touches anything out of fear of the Mafia. The Mafia leaves it as is as an example to others and because even they can't navigate the English legal system. The Baronesses secret lover sneaks in at night and waters her plants. Okay, stay at home may be getting to me just a tad.

It shouldn't be difficult to trace the owners from the car registration number and letters in the letter box.

Is that a DeLorean I see?

Isn’t this breaking in illegally? This isn’t some ancient abandoned ruin, this house was recently lived it.

Naw, not haunted at all... Those are totally DIFFERENT dolls following the camera all around.

Someone must be paying taxes on it for it to go unnoticed.

This is called breaking and entering, and is a crime. Just stay out of people's homes. Someone still owns this home, so stay off of property that isn't yours. It isn't your business why they let it fall into disrepair--lots of lovely old piles face this fate, because upkeep is horrendously expensive. But this is private property and the home belongs to someone. Stop breaking and entering!

Something weird here. I'm thinking squatters. Or maybe travellers

As someone who thinks run down c**p is exciting, I love this post.

Just kidding. That's my place. I just popped out for some fish and chips, but had to kill my husband so I got quite distracted and ended up in Hawaii. Not to worry, I'll be back to clean up as soon as this COVIDiot virus is over.

Hmmm... Maybe they were kidnapped and/or murdered. People don't just up and leave on a moment's notice, to never return or take any belongings. Sounds very sinister to me. Seems that someone would/should have investigated this further.

One word. Jumanji.

Prob really haunted and fled in a hurry

To me there's little mystery. There are people so wealthy they can and do just grab their passports and wallets/purses and go. They could be anywhere in the world, including Great Britain. There are likely caretakers of a sort or squatters. The photographer is totally discredited because they also staged photos. Yes, the two Golliwogs were moved. I wonder if the brought in the amaryllis, since the rest of the plants are vines that have worked their way inside.

I'm sorry but ... why so many teddy bears and that awfull super creepy black dolls in the stairs and on the chimney??? There are four of them and all look the same.

Why isn't police involved? Somebody might need help.

If I found that abandoned house, I’d live there the damage isn’t that bad

This is creepy as heck. Where is this...England?

They were affected by Thanos' snap!🤣🤣🤣... that was a joke but kidding aside, if they were Russian, then we've got the answer. I'm trying to play a little scenario in my head on what could have happened to the family and honestly, I could create a movie. No, it wasn't a joke.

Is this a general call for burglars to help themselves? What is the wisdom of this posting? Is the anonymous 'traveller' out looking for revenge or have they made it their business to poke their nose in stuff that is not their business?

So many clues. Why is there a pack of rolling papers on the table in the last photo? Who uses those for "real" cigarettes these days? Hardly anybody. And clues: The household cleaners and toothpaste box and bottles of shampoos don't seem like they are from America. The license tag on the front of that one care was definitely NOT American. There is a black leather biker's jacket left behind--covered in mold, indicating high humidity and a lack of controlled A/C in the house. Why so many black dolls? Who has those anymore? And why so much gilt-edge china stacked up on the coffee tables? That is definitely not an American custom-- more like European. They loved backgammon. That is generally not thought of as an American game, but a European one too. Perhaps they were Russian, Mongolian, Asian? You never know why this happens. They could have all been killed in a car crash.... all family is overseas. It would explain why everything was left. And a leaky roof=damages.

From the things that were left behind, I don't really get the 'mansion vibe'... the things seems too tatty and in poor taste to belong in a mansion. I think it has had squatters living there... it's too messy and disorganised.

That's kinda creepy

Well one of the cars (the Astra) is from 1999. So most likely abandoned a while ago.

Fascinating. But sad.
