Australian bush spookhouse.

This morning's trip into the mountains pre-dawn turned foggy and misty before reaching my intended destination to shoot the outside of an old (1903) mountain hut.

I have yet to process the images of the outside, (Planning a big one) but the inside proved very interesting. All I need is a person standing in the corner and the spookiness would be complete.

Strangely enough, I did hear a footstep in the next room of this two room hut while I was lying on the floor getting an angle. I investigated the darkness to find the room empty. I walked outside and around the building finding nothing. Back inside, I heard another noise on the roof, rather heavy like a footstep. Strange that it should be on the roof. I ran out to see if there were any birds on the roof. Nothing.

I left after a quick covering prayer over the building and here you see the images (and ghosts?) of history past.

Would have made a cosey shelter for someone.
Nicely captured Baz :thumbsup:

That broom looks fairly new and little used. Maybe someone has used the hut not too long ago.

Bazz ... I'm sure if the walls could ' talk ' ... they could tell a few stories.

As for the footsteps on the roof ... :face:

Flash :hi:

By the look of it, the sounds you heard were the bearers splintering. Those are delightful images. Full of texture and depth - also A+ for composition.
Thank you.

Never let splintering bearers get in the way of a good story Peter... :P ;) :lol:

You've got a great eye for what will look good in a photograph. I've taken a few shots of huts and mine look flat and boring. I'd never think that a broken window or a broom in the corner could make interesting shots, but I'm looking and maybe learning. BTW did you shoot in b&w or in colour and convert later? The use of b&w certainly adds to the effect.

[bloodhound31]

Thanks David. I converted in PS. I took these photos with this in mind though, keeping with the theme of history and age.
