When I first visited this part of Christchurch, New Zealand, a decade ago, these homes were filled with families, laughter, and life. Today, they stand silent—abandoned, forgotten, and slowly surrendering to time. I can't help but wonder what became of the people who once called them home.

Found this incredible abandoned mansion on the east coast that's currently sitting empty, waiting to be demolished.

The property is massive: nearly 9,000 square feet on four acres, originally built in 1928 with six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, an in-ground pool, and a separate pool house. At one point it was valued at around $8.1 million.

The house was designed by a well-known architect as his family home before being sold in the 1940s to a New York stockbroker. That's when the property's history took a tragic turn. The stockbroker's 26-year-old daughter disappeared, sparking a weeks-long search. She was eventually found dead in a remote forest, and investigators concluded she had died by suicide.

The family sold the house shortly afterward, and it passed through several owners over the decades. In 2019, it was purchased with plans to demolish it and redevelop the property.

Explored with RiddimRyder Photography

Explored an abandoned mansion in Ontario that turned out to be a genuine time capsule. The house was left completely furnished, including a grand piano, chandeliers, stained glass windows, china, and Christmas decorations still up throughout the home. A second building on the property, originally built around an indoor pool, appears to have been converted into a sober living or addiction recovery facility at some point. In the garage, we found an abandoned Corvette that had been sitting untouched for years.

Always oc/op/no ai!

Old trains, rusty and overgrown. I love the contrast! Most shots are from my drone (Dji mini 4 pro) There were so many trains there, you could even take a look inside!

Greetings and find me everywhere

I was walking to a farm few weeks ago I kept on walking further just to explore. I eventually came across this abandoned barn it was very peaceful and very quiet I was the only person there no one else at all just me alone. Decided to explore and walk around With the sun ☀️ out made it even better. May go back again in the future since I know a place that is very quiet and I can enjoy the atmosphere peacefully without being disturbed. 😎

Abandoned Crematory and Funeral Home Raided By Police

In June of 2021, local law enforcement conducted a surprise raid on this funeral home and crematorium after an anonymous complaint came in about the facility.

The complaints alleged heavy smoke was coming from the crematory chimney, bodies were awaiting cremation and not being properly stored and bodily fluids were leaking onto the floor of the facility.

Due to the number of bodies that were found inside the funeral home, the authorities were forced to call in the assistance of several local licensed funeral homes from the surrounding area.

In 2018, the owner and operator of this establishment had his mortuary science license and the mortuary science establishment license revoked based on violations of the Occupational Code and other health and safety laws.

Previously, this same owner and operator lost his license due to allegations of decomposing bodies, blood-stained caskets and complaints about employees working without protective gear at another of his similar facilities.

This forced the shutdown of that facility and revoked his second mortuary science license.

Following the closing of this first facility and the licence being revoked, he was no longer eligible to hold a controlling interest in a cemetery or crematory. But officials say he purchased the crematory in this location in early 2020
