Hey!
So this is my first explore post, and the photos are just iPhone pics (sorry!) but I thought I'd share anyway.
Well, I happened to glance out of the window while driving through a small town near Geneva, and see this big, old, dark house sitting at the top of some overgrown steps, so I convinced my friend to pull over and walk back to have a look with me.
We walked around the side and checked out the house. There wasn't a single window or door left, but we couldn't help but notice that there were chains attached to a wall in one of the top rooms. No idea what they could be for, but they did look pretty horror movie-ish. It creeped my friend out enough that she decided to wait outside as I went in.
I quietly walked around for a few minutes and took some quick photos before my friend called me and I poked my head out of the back door. She was just checking on me, and as I was telling her to come inside, she jumped back and looked, terrified, at the top window. I asked what was wrong and she just said "a man!" I quickly ran out and yelled a quick "hi! Sorry!" as we took off. He didn't say a word, but we weren't hanging around long enough to find out if he understood English or not!
So yeah, here are some pics, but I'm sad I didn't get more and of better quality.
Sorry about no history; if there's anyone who's fluent in French and a little braver than me, maybe we could go ask the new occupant
No chance I was going down there on my own, without a light
And the only door in the whole place, protecting the squatter's upstairs level
