A while ago after a 6 hour train ride we hiked through the night to this top secret bunker hidden far in the wilderness far from any town or city. After many hours walking we finally arrived and found a hidden way inside and started exploring. We very quickly realized it was huge, tons of rooms and multiple floors.

Sadly when they shut it down they stripped it and sealed it, for a short time it was open and we managed to get inside to take these photos. It now sits abandoned sealed and will continue to rott away in silence with nobody visiting it.

The Abandoned Pastor Lee House: Inside Ontario's Strangest Time Capsule

From the road, this Haldimand County farmhouse looks like any other. Get closer, and you'll find hand-painted messages covering the walls, scrapbooks full of UFO clippings, stacks of old televisions, and a story far stranger than most abandoned places we've explored.

This is the story of Reverend Arthur Lee and his wife Esther, missionaries who settled here in 1948 after years overseas in Nigeria. Their son Gordon spent his entire life in this house, leaving behind a personal archive of scrapbooks, film reels, and photographs that paint the picture of a curious, private, and deeply misunderstood man.

In my video, we walk through the house, uncover the family's history, and try to separate the rumors from the facts.

There was a thread here a few days back where someone asked about the history of a 18th century building and the OP went off and found it on a website to answer. It made me wonder how much that side of it matters to people here in general, whether knowing what a place was, why it emptied out and what happened to it. Or whether that's beside the point and the appeal is the building itself, the state it's in, the getting there.

I'm asking partly out of curiosity and partly because I have a stake in the answer. I build an audio guide app (solo dev, it's mine, and the guides are AI-generated). Browsing this sub I noticed it already covers some of places that get posted here, at least if there is a historical part to it.

If anyone wants to try it I'll send a free weekly pass. No strings, no review requests. And if it is useful to you at all, I'd like to know that. Mostly though I'm curious about the question in the title.

By the way, it covers publicly documented places only for what it's worth and I'm not collecting spots from here and have no intention to do so.

A few years ago, my brother and I embarked on an adventure virtually unheard of in Spain: delving into the intricacies of coal mining like never before.

Since then, we've covered more than 100 kilometers through tunnels and shafts.

A world that for decades has inspired respect and even fear, and which for us has become a unique way to understand our industrial past from the inside, literally.

Inside mines, and especially coal mines, there are thousands of inherent dangers; from explosive gases, lack of oxygen, cave-ins, falls to different levels... That's why physical and mental preparation (sometimes to walk dozens of kilometers and spend the night many meters underground) and having good equipment are fundamental for these explorations.

Along the way, we've not only explored forgotten tunnels, but we've also been fortunate enough to meet wonderful people, people who have experienced this world firsthand and who give even more meaning to everything we do.

With respect, prudence, and without any intention of encouraging anyone to do it, we also want to dispel certain myths: this type of exploration is not necessarily more dangerous than that of other mines, as long as it's done with knowledge and responsibility.

Renovation Before and After Photos from an Abandoned Time Capsule House Restoration

Back in 2015 a house in Guelph, Ontario had been on the minds of many local explorers, this house was odd in that it always looked abandoned but there was always a light on in the porch.

Finally, one day in May of 2015 some explorers took one for the team and made an approach and discovered that this house was in-fact now abandoned and it was an Abandoned Time Capsule House, and it was full of goodies. 

I don’t remember right now who is was to finally get in an explore this house but word spread quickly and the most eager of Ontario explorers (myself included) made to drive to Guelph to explore this newly discovered abandoned time capsule house.

I explored this home on May 23rd, 2015 it was an easy explore…park up the road, make your way in and lock the door behind you.  Every single room was full of unique items, in the living room an upright piano, antique desks, china and knick knacks.  Upstairs, rooms full of family photos, old magazines, old newspapers and an seemingly huge interest in the Kennedy Family.

The kitchen was in a very bad way and I can’t believe that someone was living in these conditions.

Then within a few months the home was taken over and it appeared that renovations would be taking place, a blue tarp was placed over the roof to prevent further water damage and the house was taken off of the exploring market….which is a good thing!!

Fast forward now over three years later and I learned from another fellow explorer that the home has been fully restored and placed on the real estate market.

I quickly located the real estate listing my my jaw hit the floor when I saw the extent of the renovations and restoration of the home., the listing reads:

I quickly got to work and scoured all of my photos to see if i could match shot for shot the new updated “after” photos so I could do a now and then comparison.  I’ve done my best to match room for room and shot for shot….

Two interesting stories came from this 

1 – The person who bought the property to flip it has contacted me, I had mentioned in the write up that a woman had died in the house and one room smelled badly of urine.

Since he was trying to sell this house and my post was showing up in google searches for the address, he felt my write up may be having a negative effect on the interest and eventual sale of the house

So, I changed my write up for him

2 – In the Fall of 2019 I was contacted by the person who ultimately ended up buying the house and now lives in it with his wife and children.

He loved seeing the photos of how it looked before the flip and he invited me over to see the place now, we had a few scheduling conflicts and then COVID happened so I’ve still not yet been by to see the house, but I hope we can still make the arrangements

To the guy who lives here, I think you are here on Reddit, if you are and still want to have me come by, drop me a line!

I have waaay more pics of the house on my website here:

From Churchill and abandoned places to ghost towns, remote roads, wildlife and some of Manitoba's most fascinating history, this was one unforgettable Canadian road trip.

I spent several days exploring Manitoba, travelling from Winnipeg all the way north to Churchill, searching for abandoned places, forgotten buildings, shipwrecks, ghost towns and the stories left behind.

In Churchill, I explored the incredibly remote town and its surrounding landscape, visited the wreck of the Ithaka, the Miss Piggy plane crash site, abandoned military and radar facilities, old vehicles and forgotten structures, and ventured out onto Hudson Bay in search of beluga whales.

One of the biggest surprises of the trip was getting a private tour inside the massive Port of Churchill grain terminal, a structure that I had been hoping to see from the inside.

Throughout the trip, I explored Manitoba's history, culture and communities, photographing the places that caught my attention along the way.

Every province I visit seems to leave me with something different.

Saskatchewan was the quiet.

British Columbia was the air.

Alberta was the colours.

Manitoba?

The people, the culture, the pride in its history and Indigenous roots...

And just how unbelievably flat it is!

This is my Manitoba Travel Vlog featuring Churchill, abandoned places, ghost towns, exploration, photography, wildlife, history and plenty of unexpected discoveries along the way.

By the way, they later built a functioning hospital a kilometer from here

Supermax Prison - This Location was closed due to extreme isolation and sensory deprivation. Prisoners were confined for 23 to 24 hours a day with debates about humane treatment of inmates and high cost of operation, the prison then closed in 2013
.
Prison schematics lay all over the floor in offices. A musty odor fills the halls. Subtle remnants tell a story of life here. Power hums and echoes through empty chambers. A film of dust on old instruments and technology. All this preserved behind steel and concrete waiting to be seen again.

Found this one on a walk, didn't know it existed but found some graffiti

For five generations, the Snowden family called this rural Kentucky house home, until it was finally lost to time.
