Holy cow! My first comment. Nifty. Thanks for taking the time Nicole. I really admire the work you're doing. Especially the Polga. If people like you were in charge of NASA, we'd have a colony on Mars by now.

Alicia: this house is on PA Route 54 between Elysburg (Knoebel's Park) and Danville (Geisinger Medical Center). I'd LOVE to do a weekend shoot of this place (man do I have plans...) but the property owners live in a trailer out back. I often hear banjos playing as I drive by.

'Paddle faster. I hear banjos!' - It's a creepy scene in person. Especially during the gray days of winter. I was really going for a wet-plate kind of look with the processing... ended up being creepier than initially intended.

Hi, I just today found this farmhouse on a trip to the amusement park Knoebels. It was so overgrown with grass, and plants and trees! I wanted to see what was inside sooo badly! Not much I suppose. But, does anyone know anything about this farmhouse? And why it was left to sit along with many other structures around the property? Just curious!
