Explorers Discover Eerie Reality Behind Abandoned New York 'Circus' House
There's a spot in Upstate New York called the "Circus House," and eerie photos of the abandoned structure taken by urban photographers have left viewers with an odd taste in their mouths. Decaying yet brightly colored, crumbling yet vibrant, the house provides a creepy tribute to everything beneath "The Big Top" — and people can't help but wonder why it exists in the first place. Finally, the real story has been exposed.
On The Outside
The Catskills mansion has seen better days. The once-red bricks have since dulled, and if you step off the dirty, winding path to the front entrance, you would surely get your feet tangled in the unkempt grass. The immensity of the home gets the imagination rolling, but something else stands out to the urban explorers drawn to it.
The Circus House
If you can find what's been dubbed "The Circus House," you're a step ahead of everyone else with a curious mind. Somewhere in the Catskills Mountains, the abandoned estate can't be found on any map. Coordinates are kept hidden by the lucky few who have stepped inside it, but some adventurers have brought back video for the world to see.
Urbex And Chill
Founders of the YouTube channel Urbex And Chill have made a living bringing camera equipment into abandoned homes off the beaten track. From roadside diners that hadn't seen customers in 70 years to bat-filled caves you need a headlamp to see in, nothing is off limits for them — including the Circus House.
Inside
So, armed with a backpack, a camera, and years of trespassing experience, the team trudged through the overgrown grass and into the mansion, hoping to come away with footage for their best YouTube video yet. What they caught on camera forced them to ask why the heck did this place even exist?
