Checking out the last remains of what used to be the fastest racing track of Europe in the 1920s by car manufacturer Opel. The oval track with a length of 1,5 km was built after locals were complaining about the noise of Opels car tests. At its peak cars could reach speeds up to 140km/h with up to 50.000 visitors to watch. It was not only a race track, but also used as a test track for new Opel projects. After the end of WWII the area was used by the US Army. Its use was halted in 1946 with forests taking over the old race track and only the steep-banked curve remains.

In a very rural area sits a house that an elderly couple lived in for 10-20 years until they died as they both got older. They must’ve not had any family around, because everything was left there as was, from guns & passports to wallets & social security cards.
Everything you could think of.

They must’ve been setup on an automated payment system for their bills as the power is still fully on.

When they passed away they left the many years of memories in this house behind and untouched.
This was a really saddening but yet special explore for us as we were the first if not only people to ever see the end of their journey here on earth.

Did I capture a ghost on film in this abandoned house?

It's been a while since Ive shared this video, and we've picked up a lot of new followers since the last time I posted this.

I've improved the quality of the video, I stabilized it and I even exported it to 4k for the best possible quality viewing experience!

This footage was captured on Sunday, March 6th, 2016 in an abandoned house in Belgrave, Ontario. As I reach the top of the stairs and turn around, something flies across the screen and makes a strange noise.

The general consensus is that I was not alone in this house.

Watch the video and tell me what you think!

Sitting near one of the most densely traveled roads in Holly Springs, this quaint house represents a forgotten era of this growing town. Being abandoned for 20+ years, this property has seen plenty of major interior and exterior damage, yet its resilience shows through the vibrant blue paint on the outdoor walls.

Today, the random location generator pulled:

"Soul School - September 29th, 2019"

I named this one "Soul School" because of the African American Church across the street.

It was a Sunday morning and they were having a service and the place was dripping with soul, from the clothes the people were wearing to the sound of the music coming from the walls.

Fun Fact, a popular hop hop artist named Ka the Rapper (Kaseem Ryan) out of Brownsville in Brooklyn licensed one of my photos from this location for his album titled "Languish Arts". Kaseem Ryan passed away on October 12th, 2024.

📍Convent of the Holy Child Jesus

🗺 Hastings, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

__________________________________________

🏚️ The Convent of the Holy Child Jesus, located on Magdalen Road in St Leonards-on-Sea, Hastings, was founded in 1848 by Cornelia Connelly as the mother-house for the Society of the Holy Child Jesus. The convent expanded in the mid-19th century with Gothic-style buildings designed by prominent Catholic architects William Wilkinson Wardell and Edward Welby Pugin. The Victorian Gothic chapel, designed by Pugin, was consecrated in 1868. In the 1970s, the order faced a decline in vocations and a falling demand for boarding education. The sisters made the financial decision to transfer the school to the Old Palace in Mayfield, East Sussex. After the nuns left in 1974, the site was used as an international language school until it eventually closed in the 2010s. Today, the building is badly neglected and derelict. The iconic Victorian-era library still remains filled with rare 1st-edition books left totally abandoned and rotting away.

I went here about a decade ago, then about 3 years ago I saw a news article saying it was all gonna be scrapped, so I stopped by yesterday and I find everything is still there. So are they not scrapping them????

Once a stately palace, this fortress was commissioned by the German Emperor Otto III. The magnificent structure has stood for so long that all traces of its former owners have vanished into thin air.
