I had the opportunity (I guess we can call it that) to look over a creepy series of photos from Six Flags New Orleans the other day. Let me just say this - it was creepy.
Let us ignore the usual details that bother me about abandoning loations to nature to reclaim - how can it be too expensive to fix or bulldoze over? Since when was cleaning up after yourself optional?
Anyways - the site itself seems out of touch with reality for the rest of us. I have seen abandoned buildings, areas left to blight as nature tears it down a small bit at a time. But when you see it each time it strikes me. If a plaec has scared even the hobos away you know it must be pretty rough. How society can leave things to rot away around us is a fascinating look inside our psychology as a whole.
NNot to mention having an abandoned site in a part of the world that has a reputation for voodoo (which is often blamed for acts of raising the dead) and abandoned site here is screaming danger and death around every corner. You could make the cheapest horror movie ever - take the 75 to 100 pictures and play them in a slow slideshow. Toss a few shadowy figures in and you have a creepy movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat. And perfectly indefensible Zombie attack areas.
Let's just hope the voodoo isn't aimed at you while you are there.
