I Found An Abandoned Farmer’s House Filled With Vintage Stuff (27 Pics)

Could be, I thought that the clothing and dolls looked a bit staged.

People go into these places all the time to steal or take pictures. Stuff gets thrown around and put into places for "fun". So it might be staged, but not necessarily by the photographer.

Absolutely staged 100%. We are talking Maryland and the way that house looks everything would have been covered in moss and bugs. Houses get eaten quick with the moisture there.

You could be right. There were a lot of inconsistencies - the cleanliness of the master bedroom, for instance; that quilt should have been rotted to nothing, esp. since it looks like this place was abandoned in the 1970s.

I'm convinced that it's staged. The person who took these photos is a photographer who sells prints of very similar other houses with the same looking staging.

That was my first thought too... looks a little staged... like for some artsy reason

Likely some seniors lived in the home until they died, and they had no family to even check in and deal with their stuff. It is very common for seniors to have the majority of their possessions be 30-40 years old, and then one or two new things. I think your assessment of it being abandoned in the early 2000's is probably correct. There would be more structural damage/rot if it had been longer.

TV kind of looks like what my mom purchased in late 60's. Vacuum cleaner looks about that too because they tried to make everything different colors back then. Phone is about mid to late 60's too because of the shape and color. Before then all phones were black. Black serving tray in kitchen is also from around then. We had one just like it. And yes, some of this looks a little too clean. The linens would be dusty and moldy. Also, just wondering. Did they worship Steve Lawrence?

You actually don't know that. Believe it or not, people die all of the time without anyone to inherit their property. Or a distant relative might inherit but doesn't care enough to claim it. Stop being a Karen.

If the place is not locked it is not B&E. It is merely trespassing. Funny though how when people from other countries trespass on American soil without permission it is okay, but when this guy does it at an abandoned farmhouse everybody gets all offended by it.
