A lesson in Urbex from today.
Attached to this post will be photos of a house that we have recently explored in 2022. It had all signs of being an abandoned building, overgrown trees, caravan rotting away, broken windows to the building.
The house has been burgled, it has been graffitied horribly and all of this happened while the home was not “abandoned”. The story of the house being that an elderly woman who went into hospital back in October. She has returned home following this to her house being absolutely ransacked and of course is very disheartened to see what has happened to her home. Now I am not saying this has happened by someone in the Urbex community but I can’t rule it out.
The house is now currently under investigation, we as Lost Soul Exploring have spoken to the police and will work with them through this. Along with this, the family want people in the community to be educated about what is/isn’t abandoned.
Do not trust every pin you have been sent even if you trust people. Do your own due diligence about abandoned buildings. We do not know how some of these people live, we aren’t aware of who is capable of what, who is in good health enough to maintain a house.
In regards to time capsules, in the community we are coming across more and more of these, examples such as, spice house, brass house, Alice’s house, now these are stunning to find, but they are also very dear to families, and we don’t know the situations of these houses. So if you do visit time capsules, please be aware they may not be actually be what we see. They may still be lived in, looked after, or just keepsaked away for memories in the future.
To the family, we send you the sincerest condolences in this time. We have been taught a real lesson about our hobby today and I am urging you all to please be careful, be careful for yourself, your health your wellbeing, but more please be careful of other people who may be affected by OUR actions as a community.
We explore as a hobby,we explore for the joy of being able to tell stories that people may not see otherwise. We do not explore to break and enter places, we aren’t thieves and we do not condone the malicious behaviour anybody not just explorers but anybody.
Please be careful out there guys!
