Abandoned places give me the chills… 

Whenever I chance upon one, I imagine who once walked its various halls, climbed its staircases, and slept in its bedrooms. Were they troubled? Careless? Frustrated? What was going on their lives at the time, and what led to such a magnificent place being left behind and forgotten? So mysterious. I once found an old Monastery that hadn’t been inhabited in at least 50 years. It’s one of the coolest abandoned places I’ve been to. That was back when I was a kid, before I knew you actually need to wear a mask at these places, as you don’t know which hidden bacteria might be hiding in its walls. Also, you might not want to run up a flight of 50-year-old rotting stairs. Bad, bad idea…

Safety comes first! It’s important to remember that. So today I’ve compiled a cool list of abandoned places that people have explored on Reddit. Next you can check out these memes for lone rangers walking the road less traveled.
