NIGHTMARE ON ELFORD STREET

We had our sights on this abandoned house on Elford street for some time now. The house is fairly hidden by the overgrown tree's.
I share this experience with Daron and Riley. They found the entrance around the side and on the backside of the house. 
First look in the house. The rooms are quite dark, other than the light beaming through the boarded up windows.

Riley finds a spray can and puts in a little positive happy face
This place would have been in fact a beautiful home, the ceilings were high and the living rooms rather spacious. Who know's how long this place has been abandoned for? 10-20 years?
Clever threats were graffiti'd all over the living room 
Downstairs kitchen area
The place was absolutely trashed, all the furniture was ripped up and tossed.
We on venture upstairs...
The walls were rotting in mold and god knows what kind of bad shit we were breathing in

The upstairs bedrooms where blocked off with hoards of garbage and soggy clothes.. 
The entrance to the attic being held open by a crowbar.  We were constantly in fear of running into squatters and to make matters worse, we kept hearing noises throughout the house. 
I kept reminding my self there was only one way in and out.

There was a strange collection of things scattered throughout the upstairs of the house. 
Tons of moldy garbage, Korean music CD's and DVDs?, a very large banner of World of Warcraft, hoards of soggy clothes, burnt books half broken knifes and needles. 

Layers of filth,rust,soot and dust covered this upstairs kitchen. 
that's where i left my vitamins!
Obviously the toilet bowl cleaner brush had never been and never will be used. Why is it even there? Fucking disgusting.
 By this point we were totally over being in the house, as we felt quite uneasy about somebody possibly coming home and lets just say they most likely wouldn't be kind enough and invite us to stay for coffee..
