The more the house looked decayed, the more I wanted to investigate. These houses were basically dangerous time capsules waiting to be explored, and I wanted to be the one to do it. I knew of an abandoned house located on one of the backroads headed towards a popular beach. The road curved off to the right, but was forgotten by the public since it led to a dead end. There were hug...
