    When it comes to horror stories there are certain settings that people would probably say were typical. The kinds of setting folks have come to expect. A silent old graveyard full of ornate statues, moss covered slabs and a high pale moon. Or perhaps an abandoned lunatic asylum where the screams of past inmates still seem to ring through the corridors. A creepy old fairground ride, with peeling paint and a wild-eyed clown smiling down at the viewer. Or that hoary old chestnut that’s in all the old horror movies, ‘a massive but suspiciously cheap house that just happens to have been built on an Indigenous burial ground.’ Those are typical.What’s not typical, is a place that you...

    Sometimes, when you hear that a place has been “abandoned,” it is important to ask, “abandoned by whom?” Of course, “abandoned” is already a very loaded word to use. It suggests a place that isn't just empty, desolate or lonely, but a place that for some reason has deliberately been made that way.
