Spirits of the Abandoned

Anyone who has ever passed by an old abandoned building and wondered what was inside will love this site dedicated to exploring these places. Spirits of the Abandoned is a website (and eventually a series of books) dedicated to "visually documenting, not only the existence of these often derelict places, but their essence— through the wonderful photographic opportunities they offer."
The Maryland gallery is already full of amazing images from abandoned hospitals, schools, industrial sites and more. Readers are invited to discuss these places in forums as well as submit their own photos. Go Explore!
