SAEDNEWS: Mysterious Houses Where Ghosts Have Been Reportedly Seen
According to the news website Saed News, quoting the Young Journalists Club, Saf Loveless is a photographer specializing in capturing images of remote and abandoned urban locations in the United States.
In his photographs, numerous shopping centers, houses, and factories can be seen that have been shut down and left unused, standing in isolated, deserted areas. Loveless has traveled across the United States to find the most fascinating locations related to his interest.
However, one of his most remarkable collections is undoubtedly his photographs of frightening houses—homes believed to be haunted. As a result, no one lives in them, and people avoid approaching them.
Loveless has compiled some of his best photographs of these so-called haunted houses into a book titled “13: An American Horror Story,” released around Halloween.
Below are some of these high-quality images along with their locations and brief descriptions. Forget everything you have seen about haunted houses in movies—these places are real.
Haunted House – Hewitt Mansion (Brush Park, Michigan)
