This picture was taken of my uncle’s farmhouse at midnight. It gave me this off feeling when I saw it.

My mom, uncle, and I started at the farmhouse. It’s where she and my uncle used to live when they were kids. My mother’s father bought it, but I’m not too sure who owned it before. It gives off this eerie sort of vibe. This house would be a good place for ghosts to roam in and around as it is fairly quiet and old. While I did not go inside, I did walk around. The cold air didn’t do me any favors as I walked around. I honestly had to look behind me a few times since it was so dark.

  • A picture of the front gate near the farmhouse. It’s old and rusty. The gate has stayed open and hasn’t been closed in years.

  • This is the side of the farmhouse. Foliage has spread over the years. It crunched under my feet and made me miscount my footsteps, making us think we weren’t the only ones there.

  • This picture is of an old lawnmower at the front of the farmhouse. It was extremely cold to the touch and it felt strange like I wasn’t supposed to touch it.

After we searched around the farmhouse, we then made our way over to my uncle’s barn. The barn is really old and raggedy. When I first saw it, I was amazed at how big it was. However, when you go inside the barn, it is really crowded. The ground was not wooden, it was bumpy, hardened dirt. I almost tripped a few times walking around; it actually made me feel a little uneasy and claustrophobic. I wanted to keep looking around to check that no one else was in the barn but my mom and me. While I didn’t see any ghosts, I did feel a few presences.

  • The tiny rooms in the barn are filled with old ropes and saws. They’re rusted and were most likely once used to cut and strip tobacco.

  • Things like this are littered all over the floor. It makes the barn feel crowded and gives a feeling of claustrophobia, even though the barn is so big.

  • In this picture is an old rusty cabinet that was used to hold tobacco. Now it just eerily stands there.

  • This is a barn that is crowded with many old farm tools and equipment. It is fairly large and creepy.
