I explored this house, which if off Hwy 26 on the way to Collingwood, with one of my team members in the summer. We entered through the back door, which had a broken window and was slightly ajar. Upon entering the house, we saw how clean it was, and how much stuff was there... we began to wonder if someone still lived there. Even the beds were neatly made. Quite weird, but nonetheless a cool little place, we plan on exploring the basement another time.

Reminds me of this place...

http://www.uer.ca/...ow.asp?locid=23062

...also with well made-up beds and otherwise clean.

Your location almost had me wondering if you simply caught them while they were out shopping or something but then seeing all that ceiling water damage pretty much says it all. It'd be pretty luxurious living for a squatter though...

Someone give this girl Full Member (man, that sounded dirty)...

wow, nice place Faded! I'd start getting a little creeped out if I found a bed all neatly made up.

Similar to the Lower Base Line I found (http://www.uer.ca/...ow.asp?locid=23679) I never went into the house on this property 'cause I thought I heard someone inside so I moved out...fast! Almost too good to be true.

fedge: yeah, very similar to that place, once i saw the beds i was like... wait a minute... should we be in here? lol. but yeah, the damage to the roof and second stairwell on the 2nd floor calmed us a bit. it was weird though. full member sounds delightful. haha. i laughed so much when i read that "man, that sounded dirty... "

Axle: it was quite creepy. and so was the framed kitten posters... lol.

Crossfire: absolutely, drop me a line when you're in town.

AWESOME.

When I lived in Collingwood I always wanted to go there.


Are you from Collingwood? You're the same age as me.. maybe we went to the same school.

Sariss: thanks. yeah it was a random thought. i was pretty sure it was abandoned, and did a bunch of drive-bys beforehand. i'm from Glencairn, out past Avening, and i went to SCI. so more than likely our schools were rivals. lol. ;]

I don't think I'd feel comfortable in there. Why? Because when I saw the made little twin beds the first image that crossed my mind was that of the feeble 85 year old Mother who no longer has kids in the area tidying up for the last time before getting shipped off to the nursing home.

What once was once a center for a growing family is now an empty shell full of forgotten memories.
And the only reminder is the property tax check the siblings have to divide up once a year for "Mom's place".

Imagine the tears in her eyes as she feebly attempted to make that bed, takes one last look around, and then it's gone; life is over, nothing but waiting to die after that.

Nah, I wouldn't touch this place . The pictures gave me the Heebie Jeebies.

I get that vibe just from these photos because it reminds me of my great grandmothers house in Buffalo, who passed away in May this year...

Pop down to Glen Huron, there are at least two abandoned houses still standing there.

That's exactly what I would think. Parents in the rest home, kid too far away or just don't care anymore. You'd think if they didn't care, at least they'd try and sell the place...

Decoy: definitely. i was just looking at the pics from the two houses listed in the DB from glen huron, i think i'm going to make a trip there soon.

mayhem154: yeah. i find it strange that so much stuff was left behind, i always find myself wondering why they didn't take it with them...

I totally remember going to that place. It was weird how clean it was. And all of those pictures of the cats hanging over each bed.

This is why I enjoy exploring houses more then anything else...so much mystery...why do people just get up and move out, but clean and make the beds before they go?
