Rochester Park - A Haunting...?

This is where the spec dip took us last Thursday - beautiful Rochester Park. Its old, its forrested, its full of history. Seems like a deep, dark place for a murder to take place or some spooky stuff to happen. We were supposed to select a location for the film "Psycho" but set locally. That's what location researchers do. Just thinking of Rochester Park while watching Discovery Channel's A Haunting makes it sounds like the perfect setting for such a TV show. Take a look at the pics.


The road seems dark with dense growth eh? Imagine this place at night. Imagine walking down this road alone at night. I wish the lamp posts weren't there though. Then it'd be totally the forrest and the moonlight. Creepy stuff.


Looks run down eh? Some of the places look really spooky. Who knows what went on in there years ago? Maybe some happy family dinners. Maybe some fun times of kids playing in the garden and the out house. Maybe some gruesome murder?


That's the back of number 34 Rochester Park. The first house we saw that permitted entry into the grounds. Actually, this is one of the better kept homes in the area. The one above is in really bad condition compared to number 34.


The kitchen area. This one is in average condition. Some of the counter tops were broken, but generally looks inhabitable. There is that stain on the floor though its probably dirt more than some unknown substance.


There was another house with the door wide open and a part of collapsed fence that I managed to go into when I went to get better indoor pictures on Friday. This is what the living room looks like generally. Lots of broken stuff lying all over the place. Upstairs, the floor was littered with what looked like soil. Really dirty! Looks like the floor in the picture, but much, much dirtier. I think I would love to spend more time looking around the house if I was with someone else. Anyone wants to go with me sometime? And maybe a night time exploration too. I want to see how haunted the houses can look.

One classic way to make the house look haunted would be to show a shot of a window, then suddenly something moves across it in between the curtains. Uggh, they just showed that not too long ago on A Haunting (episode titled Hidden Terror). That's pretty scary stuff.
