THESE chilling photos show an abandoned guest house where the owner just "got up and left".

Nicknamed Hoarder House by locals, the home and business has been abandoned for nearly 30 years and is a popular haunt for explorers.

It is unclear how the house got into this state but it is believed to have been owned by the same family since the 1940s.

Photographer Bullet travelled 13 hours from his hometown in Florida to capture the dwelling.

The 28-year-old said: "It's a pretty much a time capsule having been owned by a woman who rented out the rooms for $300 (£224) a month.

"It's hard to tell what happened, but you can piece together a story by the various documents throughout the home.

"There are letters dealing with divorce, her marriage, letters to famous actors asking them to come live with her.

"It looks like the owner just got up and left."

The photographer has been exploring abandoned properties for seven years, but he admitted this property was a bit too creepy for him.

He added: "I was scared at one point because the ceiling above us shifted around and I thought it was going to collapse on us.

"It's odd because you're in what was someone's home.

"You're seeing what was their personal life and you're left to wonder what happened to have caused this."
