The Celery House
 
Talk about an eerie house we walked up to it threw the brush. You could tell it had not been inhabited for years just how it was maintained. But when we carefully entered the den we realized the mystery deepened as the entire inside of the home was charred black and everything was burnt.
 
So right away we could tell the house had a terrible fire only a desk, ripped clothing, old glass bottles, and a space heater remained intact. I remember going into the hall and seeing a little boys sneaker.
 
The blackness of the house gave it a very dark type of feeling. The den in the center of the house had a room to the left and one to the right with double doors. Both rooms were empty with the windows blown out.
 
Up the hall to the left was the kitchen it had the old cupboards and pantry. It was burned very badly as well. Its quite possible this is where the fire started but upon going back out into the hall it was obvious that its not the case since the back bedroom was impossible to get in from collapsing and walls were so badly burned only burnt wood beams were exposed.
 
We walked out the back door and carefully across two sets of beams they were in very poor shape and one of them started to bend a little when I walked across it. One wrong fall and that would mean getting hurt. We made it across but found the brush to be to high so we had to retrace our steps and get into the utility room out to the back porch.
 
There was a path cleared out which we took to the barn which had a loft. The barn was on low ground and was very flooded there was also an old antique car parked collecting dust. That is when the dog next door started to act up then following two other dogs. One bark was high pitch, one was deep and the other dog kept making howling sounds. Rednecks and there dogs I swear.
 
We took the chance and kept working ignoring the dogs coming around the back side of the barn. We entered and there was a kids pool inside and carefully we stepped on a piece of concrete and jumped over the water to a dry area full of giant spider webs, mold, dust and rusted nails.
 
We climbed up into the loft with very little light and I felt my hands touch masses of spider webs as the ladder was so old the wood was cracking as I climbed up. When we arrived on top in the loft the floor started to give away a little and we could not walk anywhere but take photos and stand still. The floor had many holes in it one of them was over 6 feet wide.
 
We climbed back down and hastefully worked our way back to the front of the house. It was very hard to work with the dogs constantly barking not being able to hear noises etc. I did hear some kind of movement at one point in time near the barn while we were inside. I also felt extremely watched from the loft window before we went around to get up inside.
 
My take on it is its an eerie home I mean more then anything its a constant being watched feeling. You almost feel like cause the house is so dark something is just standing in the corners of each room watching you and it can see you but you cannot see it.
 
We were glad to get out of there and head on off to the last location Indian Mound Village.
