James Family

Location: Fort Collins

This house belonged to the James family in the nineteen hundreds. They lived here with their four boys. I am not much of a fan of this one for some reason and not sure why. I think part of it is because it was recently fenced in so that no one could sneak into it. The house was oddly shaped with a front that stuck out and two long sides that stuck out. I wasn’t able to find out any other information on the James family unfortunately. I don’t know if the family just left or if something bad happened I will keep looking to see what I can find out though.

Typical Barn

Location: Fort Collins

This red unique barn defiantly caught my eyes as I drove by it. It looked like a perfect picture of an old time barn with the mountains and trees surrounding it. Unfortunately I’m not much of a photographer and could really capture it but it was cool. If I lived on a farm this is exactly what I would like my barn to look like and filled with horses and chickens. Looking at this farm and knowing what I would want in it for myself I wondered with the family that used to own it kept in it. When I walked to the other side towards the bottom corner there was an area that looked burned. I wonder what happened.

Murder House

Location: Fort Collins

I was driving down towards the high way when I saw this one. I drove up to it to get a better look. The paint was all chipping off and the windows were border up. I ended up finding out information for this abandoned house. A family of four used to live in this house there were two little girls and a lot of animals. Apparently their youngest daughter was murdered in this house when she was about 10 years old. The family was so scared that they moved out of the house. No one bought the house afterwards so they bordered it up and let it be.

Big Blue

 

Location: Fort Collins

I spotted this house as I was driving around Old Town because it was so blue. I pulled off the main road to look at it because it looked abandoned. I walked up to it and the first thing I saw was a large “No Trespassing” sign and an evicted paper in the window so it kind of worried me because a few seconds later a cop car pulled by. I got my pictures quickly and left. Not sure why the people who lived her were evicted but it’s interesting. The yard was just all dirt and some of the windows were bordered up but everything like the house and fence looked freshly painted so the people must have recently got evicted.     

Strauss Cabin

Location: Fort Collins, CO

Many stories revolve around Strauss Cabin in Fort Collins, CO many teens hang around at night to see if any of the haunting stories become true. Most people don’t experience anything besides the eerie and spooky feeling it gives off. The main scary story that I hear is about a man named George Strauss who one day set his house on fire and killed his two children and wife then hung them outside on the trees. I’ve been told that if you go there at night you can see shadows of the family in the tree and see George standing by his house. A few friends and I have gone down there multiple times and I’ve still never seen any of the shadows. Strauss Cabin is a very interesting place, it is now fenced in but I would recommend going down there and checking it out.
