Urban explorer finds cottage abandoned with dirty dishes still in the sink
YouTuber Daniel Sims, 32, from Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, uncovered a disheveled house in Anglesey, Wales, on the recommendation of a fellow explorer.
The home is located on a vast area of land with two caravans left in the yard.
Daniel, who films his adventures for his YouTube channel, BeardedReality, investigated the caravans first along with fellow explorer Charlotte, 29.
The first still had dishes, both clean and unwashed, scattered across the kitchen counter and in the sink. He noted that the caravan had been left to ‘overgrow’.
Meanwhile, in the main house, the front door had been left open, as were some windows. A strange collection of art and other items were also to be found.
A framed Kellogg’s cornflakes advertisement, old photographs, records, speakers, a computer scanner, an old keyboard and a gramophone were just some unexpected discoveries.
Different patterned wallpapers can be seen peeling off the walls all across the house – one of the few signs that the home has been left to rot.
Cabinets with shelves full of china were also on display, along with art pieces that Daniel says have seen damage over time owing to the elements.
While the place looked ‘foreboding and kind of creepy’, Daniel found the cottage fascinating to explore.
‘It’s crazy to see what is left behind in a property like this, as it is kind of like the people that used to own the place are still there or just left, but you can clearly see that a vast amount of time has gone by with these items left out,’ he explains.
To add to the haunting atmosphere, he spotted a taxidermy of a lone pheasant in a glass case in one of the final rooms searched.
Daniel can be heard shouting ‘‘Oh my god! What?! Why is he here?’ as he comes across the dead bird.
All in all Daniel spent over an hour in the house and feels the experience was like stepping back to another time.
He notes: ‘It felt like we were seeing a part of history that not many people get to experience, such as old artefacts and old brands that have long gone and disappeared from the shelves.
