Two urban explorers who were photographing an abandoned home in the U.K. made a horrific discovery.<\/p>\n
According to Somerset Live<\/a>, the two urban explorers discovered the body of a deceased man after entering a property in the southwest of England. <\/p>\n The photographers say the man\u2019s name was John, and their images<\/a> indicate the home was still full of John\u2019s belongings. <\/p>\n \u201cWhen we first came across John\u2019s house, the back door had been damaged and was standing open. We weren\u2019t convinced it was actually abandoned, so we decided to leave and explore a nearby hotel instead,\u201d one of the photographers, who goes by Mission Urbex, writes on Facebook. <\/p>\n \u201cBut something about the house kept playing on our minds. Surely if someone was living there, the back door wouldn\u2019t be damaged and left open? So afterwards, we decided to go back and take another look.\u201d<\/p>\n He says that John\u2019s little red car was rusting outside, his bed was unmade, and his hats still hung by the door. <\/p>\n \u201cThe whole time we were taking photos, we felt on edge because we still weren\u2019t sure whether the house was actually abandoned,\u201d says the urban explorer. <\/p>\n After discovering John\u2019s corpse on the toilet, the pair called the emergency services. Police and an ambulance crew attended shortly. <\/p>\n \u201cWhat started as a normal explore became something neither of us will ever forget,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n \u201cAs horrible as it was to find him that way, in a strange way I\u2019m glad we went back when we did \u2014 otherwise, who knows how much longer John could have been there before somebody found him.\u201d <\/p>\n The photographers did receive some criticism. Somerset Live notes that some Facebook commenters called the post \u201cdisgusting\u201d and a \u201cviolation of privacy.\u201d <\/p>\n However, the photographer says that the story should be used to encourage people to check on their elderly relatives or single neighbors. <\/p>\n \u201cPeople can be living alone, die in their homes, and remain undiscovered because nobody realises they\u2019re gone,\u201d writes Mission Urbex. <\/p>\n Grim Discoveries<\/p>\n Urban exploring by its very nature puts photographers into creepy, insecure places where it\u2019s possible for them to stumble across anything. <\/p>\n In 2024, an urban explorer discovered cremated ashes and a human fetus at a funeral home and crematory<\/a> in Georgia.<\/p>\n And in 2023, PetaPixel spoke to an urban explorer<\/a> who photographed a body stain in the basement of a building. <\/p>\n Image creditsHeader photo licensed via Depositphotos<\/a>.<\/p>\n Affiliate Disclosure PetaPixel articles may include affiliate links; we may earn a commission if you buy through one. <\/p>\n
