Abandoned in Fontana,California

Got info on this place from a fellow explorer,so being a good 20 mins or so from me I headed out to Fontana,Ca and eye balled the place out to see who was around.

While waiting for about 10 mins to make a run to the entrance I noticed a board start moving and out came a few folks that had been squatting inside,as they proceeded to leave and im assuming head out for the day, they blocked the entrance with boards and some random trash and off they went.I grabbed my gear and headed to the front door moved the wood board and in I was.

(Living facility & to the far right the hospital)

As I entered I wasnt expecting much then a old shell of a building but I was surprised to see alot left behind.

Walking through the first hallways trying to stay quite as not to disturb anyone who may still be inside or surprised by a pipe to the face by some freaked out person I turned into the 1st room I seen and it was a kitchen with alot of pans and plates left behind.

After the kitchen I headed into the next room with what looks like upside down tables which were used for people with wheelchairs

Next I checked out the many other rooms which held offices and medical devices and rooms with beds and personal belongings left behind,by this point I swore I heard foot steps and whispering,I knew I had been to quite for people to know I was there.....

(office)

After room and room of nothing but beds and a chair here and there I was about ready to call it a day but i went on

Heading down the far end of the building there seem to be alot less light in the rooms and I was abit on edge as I heard the crunch of glass a few times as if someone was walking near by. So I proceeded with caution and went on peering into dark room after dark room only seeing slightly silhouetted items left behind.

Next I ended walked into a area that looked more like a old motel of sorts with rooms with numbers and a community room, some of which had rope attached to them as a locking mechanism. This side felt more homely and abit on the sad side.

After walking into the last room I came to a door and stood quite and heard whispers seen a few trash bags with old food wrappings and bottles and new I found whom may of been walking about and whispering.

(I never take anything from places but I really wanted this picture ....)

So I didnt wanna over stay my welcome so headed out, a day or too later my bud went to check the place out and met the guy who was squatting there and said he called himself the unofficial caretaker of the home and said he would ward off all who would be destructive to the property and try and vandalize the property with graffiti.He also mentioned that he was in the process of roping all the doorknobs together so no one could enter the rooms,he then stated that he would try and follow people to see what they were doing and if they were just checking out the place he would leave them be...​

Under a bridge and some

A spot in Colton California Ive been going to for some time now,I first found it many years ago while riding down the bike trail with my camera.There were quite a few abandoned places in the way of small pump houses,tho time has taken its toll and many have fallen and all thats left is one pumphouse and a small shack not below.The rest is in the river under the bridge,lots of graf and things to shoot.Ive used it for some time now for photoshoots thinking maybe a group shoot there soon.

THE DEVILS SCHOOL HOUSE

The Devils school house

Once I enter the smell of urine hit me like a train its smelt bad I walked towards the 1st hall way to see specks of black marks all over the walls this turned out to be ratt/mouse droppings.I tried my hardest not to touch anythingand breath in to much of the air but I was excited to see this place has the locations was almost in plain site.Tho clouded by a tree line and fast driving cars no one would stop to see it.

Has I walked I felt has tho something was watching me I entered room upon room took my shots gagged abit from the smell,even with a shirt over my mouth/bandanna I still smelt the urine.Some rooms were so bad they looked almost wet with the amount of urine stained wood. 

I pressed on getting breaths of fresh air with every window I passed 

the further I went away from the entrance the smell disappeared it was like stepping back in time  

Heading back It sounded as tho someone was walking towards me with heavy feet I made some noise and I then heard running was this another explorer or something else.

I made my way to the front door to exit and you could hear the scurry of ratts in the walls,I felt accomplished I was happy but abit sick from being there for so long felt as tho a presence was with me.

I left and returned home to a nice hot bath after this explore I was drained and felt not like myself has tho something followed me home.I do believe in spirits I do believe there are bad spirits that drain your energy aswell.I was sick for almost two weeks with a bad cough and felt as tho something followed me home I opened my windows opened up my home and cleaned it so to speak,believe me or not,call me crazy but I got better the same day and everything felt right again.

I vowed never to return to this place again,"The Devils school house".
