Left For Dead: Redstone Hall {Part 1}

Hello there, reader! Today feels like a sharing day

so I thought this would be a good time to share

with you an adventure that I recently went

on with a couple of friends to explore a local, 

abandoned building. 

Our main reason for visiting the hall was 

for photography purposes, but we also

visited out of curiosity; I've had an interest

in abandoned buildings for some time but

have limited my interest to reading online

articles and blog posts, which meant that

this was my chance to at last experience the

 eerie atmosphere that comes with abandoned

buildings and explore one for myself.

The first room we entered was sinister, to say

the least. This was mostly due to the fact that

all of the windows -bar one- had been barricaded with 

thick sheets of wood, meaning that our only sources of 

light were the shattered windows from which we

entered and the weak flicker of our hand-held torches.

The room was in tatters. What was probably once a 

recreation area, or dining hall, had now been completely

emptied except for the occasional puddle and an assortment

of crumbling brick. We made the decision to swiftly

advance to the next room. there was definitely something

unsettling about the emptiness and gloom of

that entrance hall, as if something could be lurking in the 

shadows, spying on us through the singed and tattered

curtains.

When moving through the house we were almost completely

enveloped in darkness; who knew what kind of 

creepy critters could have been scurrying around our very

feet (or even heads, for that matter!) Proceeding from

room to room was also made slightly more difficult

by the random displacement of floor boards and a number

of the doors being either precariously unhinged, or simply 

too stiff with decay to even budge. As we explored more of 

the first floor, we began to note the extraordinary amount

of floor boards and ceiling panels that were hanging loose above

our heads, almost like a warning, urging us not to continue

up towards the higher levels of the house.

I will leave you there for now as I feel this post is going

to keep continuing into great lengths if I don't stop now!

I will most definitely be sharing more of this particular 

adventure in a 'Part 2' so be sure to follow me to keep updated

with that! Thank you for reading, lovely reader! 

Stay curious!
