619 Hyder Farm Rd-HVL NC 57


619 Hyder Farm Rd, Hendersonville NC is where this house is located. At the time I took the photo it was empty and pretty run down. It didn't look to me anyone would ever be moving in but the last time I drove by(a few weeks ago) it appeared that someone might be living there. At least there were two vehicles in the yard. Two old Beetles. I couldn't see whether they were tagged or not. It doesn't really matter.

The house is down a rather deserted road meaning there aren't many other houses on that particular road and the ones that are(other than a couple) are empty also. It is right next to I-26 which could be the reason for people not wanting to live on that road. In fact there is a house for sale which has been empty for a long time and it's a nice house. But that could be due to the housing recession.

104 Alex Cove Dr-HVL NC 56


104 Alex Cove Dr in Hendersonville NC is where this house is located. At the time I took this photo this house was empty and the last time I drove by(a couple of weeks ago) it was still empty. I no longer take down the addresses in case at some future date someone moves in it will protect their privacy from snoopers, people looking for something haunted or something to explore and it protects the explorer from possibly being arrested by an overzealous police officer.

The house was pretty tun down when I took the picture but not so much so that no one could live there.

Abandoned House Landrum SC 55


Here is a photo taken some time ago of an abandoned house in what I believe is actually New Prospect SC rather than Landrum SC. It is located on West Melvin Hill Rd.
If I remember correctly it was rather run down but not as bad as alot I've seen. It was rather deserted. By that I mean it was by itself not too close to any other houses.
There are alot of abandoned houses in SC. There are some in Rutherford County but not very many in Henderson county.

Abandoned House Fuquay Varina NC



Here is the link to the house and story. It is http://www.graveaddiction.com/fvabhouse.html. I cannot make it load up when I try to access it. I've included the photo and story here on my blog. There are a number of photos at grave addiction.
This is an interesting looking old house. I like finding my own abandoned houses but I also like finding ones other people have found in areas where I can't go most of the time.

Shannon Zroback sent me the following information about this old abandoned house:



I am not exactly sure what town this house is in but I do know that is somewhere near the town of Fuquay-Varina . A friend and I found it one day when we were out looking for old cemeteries and decided to check it out. We have been back many times since. The house is falling apart (as you can tell from pics) but the yard is very well maintained. The house is full of furniture (there are even towels hanging on the wall in the bathroom) It look like it may have been a plantation home, I am sure that it was a very beautiful home at one time. The last time we were there we talked to a neighbor and he said that no one has lived in the home the whole time that he and his wife have lived next door (over 30 years) and that the owners will NOT go in the home, they only come to cut the grass and that is all. I personally find it strange that they left everything there and locked up the house (doors are locked with pad locks or have furniture pushed against them) What I think happened was that either something horrible happened there and the family no longer wanted to live there and didn't want anything to remind them of what happened so they just up and left and didn't take anything with them. OR that the house is haunted and the haunting got to be so bad that the family fled with out taking their belongings and they will no go back in the house even long enough to get their things. Everything in the house looks to be from the 60's or 70's. I personally think that the home is haunted, I get a very eerie felling every time we are there and have felt like I am being watched. Who know why the home is abandoned or why the family refuses to go back there but for some reason I feel drawn to this house.

South Carolina Lunatic Asylum



These are some interesting photos. Being an old lunatic asylum it's probably haunted but who knows maybe not.

The photos and essay are courtesy of grave addiction. I tried linking directly to the site but couldn't. It kept giving me an error message and I know how annoying that can be for someone to open the window only for nothing to be there so I put it right here on my blog. The excerpt is to the site owner.


Mitch Oates sent me the following information about this old, abandoned mental hospital:
The South Carolina Lunatic Asylum was built in the late 1850's, and its design was cutting-edge for its time. The photographs are of the Babcock Building, the second oldest building, but the most impressive on the campus. The 140 acre campus itself is a nearly deserted city within the middle of Columbia, South Carolina, but the grounds are patrolled by state police. There are old wooden houses used by the doctors, an old church (Ironically named Chapel of Hope), a canteen, a library, and an auditorium...all abandoned. The state is eager to sell the property to developers hungry for real estate within the city, but historic preservation groups are attempting to block development. The grounds may also hold some archeological artifacts. During the Civil War, the hill behind the Babcock Building was used as a prisoner of war camp for Union soldiers. There is also a story of a serial killer on the grounds of the Asylum during the 1800's, who turned out to be a painter on the groundkeeping staff. I cannot vouch for the validity of that story.

There are several more photos which can be accessed at grave addiction.

Abandoned Building-Mill Spring NC 53



This is an abandoned building on Landrum Road in Mill Spring NC which is very close to Landrum SC. It is on the corner of Highway 9.

Bell Mtn Abandoned House-Tuxedo NC 50


This is another abandoned house on Bell Mountain that I found while exploring the area and exploring Bell Mountain to see if it really is haunted. I can't say whether it is or not although people have said they've sighted ghosts here. I couldn't say. I went back at night and the first time I found it extremely creepy especially at the site of one of the houses but nothing particulry out of the ordinary. The honest truth is most places are not haunted, it's just myth or urban legend perperated by bored elderly folks who either want to scare the kids, have some fun at the expense of outsiders or just have nothing better to talk about and this livens up their lives and gives people something to talk about.




Either way, I can't say whether it is or not but if anyone has had an experience with this area or would like to share some the stories passed down to them by their grandparents, etc. I'd like to hear it.
