You never know what you're going to get with an abandoned house. It seems like over the past few years, a new phenomenon of exploring "Time Capsule Houses" has fancied the YouTube urbex algorithm, as such videos have been promoted to the social media feeds consumed by those not generally interested by ruins and abandoned places. Just a simple Google Search for the term will bring up hundreds of videos many of which have millions of views. It seems we humans are enamored with the things other humans have left behind. And what are houses beyond a tomb to store our worldly possessions until our physical bodies depart the material world, leaving behind all the things we've accumulated, with at worst no one to care.
To my displeasure, such was the case with this random farmhouse I found along side of the road. Upon squeezing through a window I became instantly consumed by all the things that had been left inside. I tend to view things as thieves of time so I lack the ability and patience to appreciate vast quantities of stuff and thus I could never provide photographic justice to what was otherwise a beautiful homestead. Fortunately, my friends Rusty and Christina from Antiquity Echoes have quite a talent for creating tasteful, artistic videos in just these types of places, for they inherit the patience that I lack, which is needed to be able to spend hours in a ruin and piece together a thoughtful video essay (as embedded below).
