Two urban explorers from Manchester have described discovering an abandoned bungalow in the Scottish woods as the “creepiest place” they have ever visited. Mitch Johnson and Jake Parr travelled six and a half hours to Selkirk, Scotland, before trekking an hour through dense pine forest to reach the remote property.
Upon entering through a missing back panel, the pair found rooms stuffed floor to ceiling with teddy bears and dolls, covered in cobwebs and dust. Johnson estimated there were 200 to 300 Cabbage Patch Dolls, some of which he claimed could be worth £1,000 each. The husband's workshop had also been left untouched, with tools still lying around.
Johnson said: “This was the creepiest place I've ever been to. I just could not wait to get out. I even sacrificed some pictures because I just didn't want to be in there.” He added that he felt like he was being watched and that the damp atmosphere made it uncomfortable to breathe.
The explorers believe the home belonged to a woman who hoarded teddy bears to cope with her husband's death in the 1980s. After she passed away, the property and its contents remained undisturbed. Johnson shared his experience on his Facebook page, No Limits, which has nearly 500,000 followers.
