The Forbidden Place
Growing across a haunted house can be as traumatic as living in one, especially for a child. Children are impressionable and get easily scared.
That is one reason why most children do not like sleeping alone in the dark. It is normal for the children to be scared of unknown shadows but in some cases, those shadows behave abnormally.
Terrifying Childhood
The boy was told by his parents to not go to the other side of the woods… EVER. But curiosity always gets the better of the cat or a child.
Most children are more intrigued to do what they are specifically told not to do. So the boy, obviously curious as to what was on the other side of the woods, paid a visit… but never again.
What He Saw
He wanted to boast to his friends that he went to THE cabin all alone when all kids were told specifically not to. Sweating a little now, he went closer to the cabin which seemed inhabited.
He thought it was a good sign, he could go in, look around and quickly get back to his place. But suddenly something happened that made him stop in his tracks.
Who Was There?
While the door took forever to creek open, adrenaline was rushing through the body of this little boy- fight or flight? Obviously, if the rumors were true, he was as good as dead but he could not muster the courage to also run away.
Meanwhile, the door was almost completely open now. But there was something strange, James could not see, but he could tell.
The Pot Breaking
The boy did not have the time to make any decision. A voice of a glass shattering came from inside the cabin with no apparent source.
He let out a shriek that would have numbed the ears of any listener if there was any, turned around and ran, ran for his life. He came back before his mom woke up and never told her what happened that day. He kept the secret to himself.
Facing Fears
Part of growing up is facing one’s fears. James took it too literally and landed himself in a life-threatening situation. He had no clue what he was going to find there.
He never saw anyone in the doorway during his last visit all those years ago. Was the place really haunted like it was rumored or was it something else? But WHAT?
The View
This is the first view of the cabin in the woods. Reaching it in itself is a big task as it lies across the river and is almost completely shrouded by the tree, camouflaging with the dry environment.
James captured every step of this small journey from his house to the cabin and each step reveals awe-inspiring details.
Spooky Doesn’t Cut it
James wanted to capture the eerie feel of the house from every angle and we have got to give it to him, he nailed it. But it did not require much effort on his part either.
The cabin reeks eerie. No pictures, however, could get a clear view of the cabin. It was time to go closer and see what this place of horror held.
Old, Rusted, Not In Use
The first feeling that James had when he reached the cabin was if he was the only person there, all along. The cabin always had a rustic look but now, it just appeared long abandoned.
He was the only human there, that is to say. Apart from the exterior of the cabin, he noticed this water pump which looked completely dry. The question was, how long had it been out of use?
Not The Only One
Upon reaching the back side of the cabin, James, to his amazement found out that it was not the only cabin. It was like entering a horror show and finding out that each house is a haunted place- with no escape.
Each cabin was absolutely similar to the other and each seemed to be decaying with no sign of human life. Did James stumble upon something much greater than a ghost place?
Mossy Decorations
The decay of the cabin is exemplified by the moss-covered roofs, moss covered everything actually. If ever there were residents here, they did not bother to keep the place clean.
And several layers of moss show that the cabin has been decaying for a long time now. What happened here? And why was this place abandoned?
Utter Darkness
James wanted to avoid entering the cabin as long as he could help it. He wanted to secure his grounds, look out for all the exit points in case he needed to.
Even though it is bright outside, it seems like this light is unable to penetrate the darkness inside the cabin. It is pitch black in there but the man does go inside, he probably should not have.
Turned To Garbage And Dust
The inside of the cabin was more horrifying than the outside. Destruction seemed to persist everywhere. Rubble, roof, poles, all smashed and rusted rose in a mountain.
It was as if a mini-war happened here. Who lived here? Were they killed? Or did they escape? There were too many questions running inside James’ mind and there were no answers. The mysteries only intensified.
Chemicals Found!
When James took cautious steps inside the house, to his horror he found some powdered chemicals spilled on a table. He was smart enough to not touch them.
They could have been acidic, could have been poisonous, could have been anything really. This made one thing clear, there were humans here, what they did and why they were hiding all these years was not clear yet.
Burning Blood?
This has to be one of the creepiest pictures James captured. We are hoping that this would be old burnt coffee but it could also be burnt, dried blood.
A cup upside down on charred blood… I have come across few things as sinister as this. Was the blood inside the cup and then spilled? Whose blood was it? Animal? Human? And why would someone keep blood inside a cup?
What In The World
There are far too many wheels in this cabin for a place where there is no vehicle or a plowing equipment or something like that. This could only be a stove or so we think.
What the wheels are for, we still do not have a clue. What caught James’ eye was what was above the stove.
Like A Normal Home?
As baffled as James was to not find a sleeping place in the cabin, he was equally relieved to find a toilet in the cabin. It cannot be called a bathroom because, well… there hardly seems to be enough space to stand inside, let along bathe.
Even though it appears normal, this picture seems to have something dark about it… is the entire aura of the cabin?
Sorry Excuse Of Light
The cabin sported, what looked like a light bulb but James could not find any switch in the cabin. It seemed in a delicate condition anyway, as if it would fall down even if touched.
Is this an oil lamp? How did the residents of this cabin even survive here? Did something terrible happen to them? James shuddered at the possibility.
The Others
As we mentioned, behind the cabin, he found others which were in a similar condition to the one he had seen in his childhood, if anything, they were in worse condition.
Was this a settlement? Sort of a close community of people who did not linger about or who no one saw? Or was this an establishment of something more sinister?
Ending The Visit
The dried blood and the poison were enough to ring the final alert bell in James’ head and he did not want to see what other secrets the other cabins held. Quickly he made his way out but not without taking some final snapshots.
This hook usually found outside gothic palaces has a torch attached to it, for light. This hook unsurprisingly has no such purpose. Then what was the purpose of this hook here? Like all other things in this cabin, it is a mystery.
No Harm Done
If not solve the mystery of the horror cabin, James was able to achieve one thing. He faced his childhood fear of the cabin and dared to explore it.
He came across some dark stuff in there and it is sure to have messed his mind up, it sure messed up ours- but the fact that he took the step makes us respect him more. We are just glad he came out physically unharmed. We hope he got some closure, turns out that it was not the ghosts that haunted this place but some shady stuff done by humans.
