22 Abandoned Places Where the Echo Sounds Louder Than a Scream (23 photos)

There's a strange, poignant magic to abandoned places. A slide no one has ridden for 10 years. A pulpit where the last candles have long since gone out. A cell whose prisoner was released so long ago that his name has disappeared into history.





This collection features atmospheric places that seem to have fallen out of time. Abandoned houses with peeling wallpaper, amusement parks where carousels dissolve into young trees, prisons with wide-open doors, and churches where only the winds now sing. Look, peer into the details, and scroll very slowly. After all, somewhere between the rusty roller coasters and the sad-eyed mannequins lies that special silence sorely missed in the noisy city.
