Inside ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ home of horrors with mummified canine in coffin

Harrowing images show an abandoned house of horrors compared to a scene from the film, Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Urban explorers from Dark Explores were met with the “smell of death” when they entered the eerie farmhouse in South Wales. There they found piles of animal bones and skeletons including one in the fridge, and even a skull inside a deep fat fryer.

Small coffins found under a bed contained the mummified corpses of small dogs, the floor nearby surrounded by old bags of oven chips. A chilling poster of Jesus hanging on the wall reminded the explorers: “You are never alone.”

Images show the mysterious home piled high with clutter and frozen in time with a 1990 calendar on the wall and clothes still hanging in the wardrobe.

The dusty shelves are peppered with old photographs and china mugs are stacked inside an overflowing Welsh dresser.

But despite some of the quaint features and shadows of a former life lingers the stench of death and sadness. Countless corpses of sheep, goats and rams can be found scattered among old rubbish and a well preserved dead cat was found curled up in a bucket.

One body is propped up against a rusty old chainsaw leaving many wondering what went on there.

Other pictures taken by Dark Explores show abandoned Lada cars outside. A creepy doll sits in the corner of one room keeping a beady eye on the intruders.

Copies of newspapers can be found among the chaos including souvenir editions of the Daily Mirror commemorating the sinking of the Titanic and the Queen’s coronation.

Sadly, according to locals, the house was once a family farm, but after the farming couple passed away, they left their property to a close relative who quickly became overwhelmed by the responsibility.

Rumour has it she allegedly began taking disposal of animal corpses into her own hands, dismembering them with chainsaws and bleach.

The home quickly became unlivable as items piled up. Eventually, she was forced to abandon her family home, leaving behind coffins filled with corpses, multiple farm animal skeletons and hundreds of bleached animal bones.

It was said that she also struggled to part with her deceased pets, so she kept them in the house with her and slept with the coffins under her bed.

The property has been of interest to many urban explorers from across the world, fascinated by its normal appearance from the outside compared to the stark contrast of the horrors within.

Re-sharing their images on their Facebook page earlier this week after their explore last year, Dark Explores posted: “This is our number 1 most shocking and insane explores to date, this was like entering a house of horrors with the smell of death.

“We found rooms with chainsaws, filled with animals decaying and bones pilled up, skulls heads found in the deep fat fryer, and then when you think you’ve seen it all, we find coffins under the beds in both rooms with animal corpses inside. Even the kitchen had storage tubs with foxes inside. Some really sad, upsetting sights.”

The post attracted reams of comments.

One person said: “It’s like the set of a horror movie!! What a bizarre and insane find.”

Another commented: “One of the books is James Herriot. Makes me wonder if a vet went mad? Not much freaks me out but I did just swear out loud at my phone several times.”

One wrote: “I saw the original of this, it was shocking, you could almost smell the decay. Not so shocking today but still disturbing. You never really know your neighbours or friends. We all have hidden quirks.”

While one said: “That’s disgusting but also so sad. We’ll never likely know the truth behind it so the imagination runs wild.”

Other people compared the scene to a horror film.

One said: “It’s all a bit The Hills Have Eyes.”

While another said: “All that’s missing is a guy with a chainsaw wearing a mask of human skin.”

On YouTube, more people had their say.

One commented: “This one was insane. I have hard time understanding why would you keep bodies of your pets under your bed. That is beyond creepy. It is like you never put them to rest.”

Another added: “The macabre house; those pets were loved enough that they were placed in coffins, yet they were never given a proper burial.

“I’m wondering how disturbed these people were to do such an horrific thing. Even the mess and the bags of cans for recycling all over, not to mention the skeletons of goats and buckets of bones.”
