My stories are generally told in order, and the next one should be from early June, but I am going to slip in an extra visit from yesterday due to it being a little different.
- WARNING - DISTURBING PICTURES OF CATS -
I picked up on this location by doing some google scouring. That is using the overhead map view looking for potential derelict locations.
Its time consuming and often unrewarding, and in this case, I was searching for something that didn't exist, due to intentional misinformation from someone who had sold out to the newspapers.
The location was in fact, ‘The Axe House’, somewhere I have already visited but didn’t initially pick up on. ‘The Axe House’ is a fantastic time capsule, and I will host it in the future.
The sell-outs, to their credit, informed the newspaper that it was located 100 miles to the north. Better than telling them the precise street, but I wouldn’t have told them anything other than fuck off.
I digress, as while looking for the non-existent Axe House in completely the wrong location, I spotted something else.
It looked like some kind of isolated house or farm and so we marked it down for a visit.
The gate leading to the house was padlocked, and yet the grass did not seem overly long. You have to look at the factors before potentially trespassing on someone's property.
I do abandoned places, not occupied ones. People don't take kindly to unwanted Urban Explorers if they still are living there.
The gate could be easily be slipped past by pedestrians, and immediately we saw a small kitten sitting on the path.
I didn't seem afraid at all and stared nuzzling up to us. Trying to ignore the little animal we continued toward the house to be confronted with two more cats.
One was large, the other, another kitten. None of them made a sound but like the first kitten appeared to want our attention and kept following us around
I was starting to think SleepWalkers at this point. Then I noticed the eyes. Two of the three had one missing. One the left eye, and one the right.
…’what the fuck was this place, some kind of torture home for cats?’…
Did anyone live here? It was deathly quiet, and we crept around with our feline companions who seemingly did not want to give us away
Whoever lived, or did live here was a serious hoarder, that was plainly obvious.
...'the look from the big cat was pleading, 'Help us', but what could we do?'...
Was it one or two houses? The one on the far end was seriously overgrown. Nobody had stepped through the front door in years.
Yet we were both very apprehensive about looking around the back and opening the gate.
This dude has some kind of obsession with Land Rovers. We counted several, all filled with junk, and left to rot away.
We saw at least THREE caravans all decaying and locked up.
A couple of lawnmowers, but we didn’t this person use them for his grass?
It was all getting a little strange and I had an uneasy feeling. The fact the cats were hanging around the front door told me this was their source of food.
There must be someone in there, or they wouldn’t congregate. Then we heard a Rooster.
As well as all the crap that I am showing you, there was a row of rotting sheds, seemingly with chickens and roosters within.
That was our key to leave. I think this crazy house must be occupied by some wild-eyed cat-loving, hoarder hermit who prefers felines with just one eye.
If there are locked up chickens, then he may just be opening the door to get his eggs. Better we are gone when that happens, else we might be on the wrong end of a hot poker.
