... and other spray-painted ramblings absolutely fill this old brick skeleton near the Lake Erie shoreline. It sits far back and heavily overgrown on a little-travelled country concession with very few houses. To gain this kind of visitation from local youth, the farmhouse must have some kind of urban-legend status. It looks like every teen in Haldimand county has been here.

There is a massive boat parked inside the barn that I regret not climbing inside of to get a few photos. There was no way up the side of the hull though, and I didn't feel like making an Indiana-Jones-style jump from the edge of the loft.

I just went and saw "The Arrival" last night with the wife, and now every time I look at shot #6,
I keep thinking about the heptapod alien visitors from the movie.

The house was quite cool indeed....

I've heard of barn finds, but that's just ridiculous!

This was on a big group tour about 2 years ago or so, a tour consisting of people who had all been removed, or had themselves removed from another site and we all went out together for a day. I believe we called it the NO AY PEE tour, you can probably put that together!?

The house was pretty boring and the boat didn't hold much of interest either
