I don't think so, I'd love it if there were, I'd love nothing more than to have a bit of a nose round inside of one, i find abandoned buildings beautiful and fascinating, the idea that no matter how much time passes, the integral structure and purity of a building can stay there and pass the test of time is heaven to me.

..that's a really lovely way of saying it, Liam...I think also for me, I love to imagine them how they were when they were in use and imagine the people who used them/worked in them or lived in them, you know...imagine 'their stories' and just imagine how different the whole landscape around them would have looked as well..we have quite a few where I live and also old bunkers and things from the war ..most are either unsafe to go in or 'haunted'..or so the 'story' goes.....

I see them as a message of life, that no matter what you're put through, no matter the conditions you have to face, if you're built good, then what's at your heart will help keep you up and strong
'Haunted' is even better, the stories are what helps make these buildings interesting, if someone says 'don't go in there, it's haunted' that would make me more determined than ever to get myself in there

That sounds like somewhere i'd want to go for a night, i love all things paranormal so that would be fantastic.. The Skirrid Inn in Monmouthshire is the oldest and supposedly the most haunted building in Wales, was featured on Most Haunted and everything

..you can almost see people sitting on those chairs, can't you...all drinking their beer, chatting and playing dominoes.....I don't think I've ever actually watched Most Haunted, do they 'find' anything in the houses or just go to 'feel' scared..?...

Victorian-style tree house, Florida, USA..I would so restore this one and live in it......

Right? there's still a noose at the top of the stairs, because apparently a judge in the 17th century iirc, used to hang people there and there were 180 hung there in total, it's totally not the same noose, but it adds to the feel i suppose
I have no idea, i've never watched an episode properly either.

The locations and brief backstories are the only things which make Most Haunted worth viewing. The actual content has no paranormal value at all and is shameless scripted fiction. Nothing ever happens, except noises and the odd item being 'thrown' - for which the only 'evidence' we have is the dialogue between the show's cast - sorry, presenters - and at any time when an inanimate object slightly moves ie a table or chair, we are never shown a full shot of the object to prove that no one has 'helped' it move.

As someone who is deeply interested in the paranormal I find the program a joke which actually lends weight to paranormal de-bunkers, in much the same way as fake clairvoyants like Colin Fry and company, are used as evidence by skeptics that all clairvoyants are fake.

It's just my opinion and I apologise if I have veered off the subject of this thread.
