You didn’t know Americans live like this…👀🌿

Only 0.5% of Americans live in Bayou country — that’s fewer than 2 million people — and life out here is unlike anywhere else in the U.S😱🐊⛵️

A few wild Bayou facts:
🐍 Home to massive snakes, gators & some of the most biodiverse wetlands in America
🏚️ Many communities are still recovering from catastrophic storms like Katrina
🦟 The bugs? BRUTAL. Locals are basically built different
🌾 Entire towns sit on floating wetlands + raised homes over the water
🌧️ Flooding + disappearing land are real challenges they face daily

This is the real Bayou — beautiful, dangerous, historic, resilient.

Would you live here? Follow if you want to know more unique places?

This isn’t Salem. This isn’t Sleepy Hollow. This is Old Wethersfield, Connecticut. 🍂✨

Before Salem made headlines for witch trials, this charming Connecticut town held the very first in America—decades earlier. 

Today, Old Wethersfield is one of the most picturesque fall destinations in New England, with colonial homes, haunted history, and that perfect small-town Main Street straight out of a Halloween postcard!

🛍 Wander through local boutiques & antique shops
🥘 Dine at cozy spots like @thecharlesct and @heirloommarket 
🍦 Enjoy some ice cream at @mainstcreamery 
🎃 Stroll past handmade scarecrows during the annual festival
🚣 Enjoy the pond, hiking trails, & boating
🏛 Explore historic museums dating back to the 1600s

The best part? You can make it a full fall weekend—Glastonbury’s wineries are just next door, and hidden waterfalls are only a short drive away.

Have you ever visited Old Wethersfield?

You ever get strange vibes from a home?😳

I’ve lived near Oyster Bay for 3 years now and the car at this home HAS. NOT. MOVED. 🥺

📍Oyster Bay Road

Google Maps shows multiple street view dates. The earliest shown is 2008 where are there are flowers and a sign for piano lessons! 🎹

But by 2020, Google Maps Street View shows the house decaying. 🏚️

Zillow says the house is NOT for sale? It was built in 1965, has 1 bathroom and an estimated value of $800,000. 🤨

It’s a real mystery! What do you guys think? 👀

ABANDONED CASTLE IN THE WOODS? SAY LESS. 👀

Hidden deep in Rhinebeck, NY sits Wyndcliffe— a crumbling Norman-style estate built in 1853 for NYC socialite Elizabeth Schermerhorn Jones!

Now, it’s a 75-year-old abandoned time capsule, wrapped in ivy and mystery. Here’s what you need to know:

🏰 Built in 1853 as a summer escape
🧬 Designed by George Veitch, Norman-style architecture
🕯️ Later turned into a brewery after her death
💸 Business failed and owner died in 1919
👻 Abandoned since 1950 — 75 YEARS of eerie silence
🪨 Crumbling bricks and empty halls
🚧 Briefly taken over in 2022 by Elemental Architecture, but no major work seems to be happening

⚠️ I don’t recommend going inside — it’s dangerous and unstable. But seeing it from the road? It’s like stumbling on a real-life gothic fairytale. A haunted one!

📍Rhinebeck, Dutchess County, New York

Alternative tourism is in! From forgotten churches to seaside hotels, more and more people are craving off-the-grid adventures — places soaked in nostalgia, history, and mystery👀

✨ Please remember to explore safely and respectfully — many of these places are viewable from public roads or through online research. And of course… @googlemaps is your BFF😁

🔍 Here are 3 eerie + beautiful spots I found on my travels through Connecticut:

📍 1. The Abandoned Church, Groton CT
Once a place of worship, this Christian church has sat empty since 2010, I believe. With over $75k+ needed in just wineow repairs, its future is uncertain — but the haunting architecture still turns heads!

📍 2. The Abandoned Farmhouse Mansion, Old Saybrook CT
Built in the 1800s and later featured in the cult horror film Let’s Scare Jessica to Death (1971), this yellow Victorian beauty is full of eerie charm. The local historical society is working to save it — and we hope they can🙏

📍 3. The Abandoned Beach Hotel, West Haven CT
Once The Debonair Beach Motel, it was hot spot for wealthy politicians in the 50s–60s. The beachside motel fell into decay by the 2000s. Now, its real estate is worth over $1M thanks to ocean views — and yes, it’s steps from an iconic lobster shack🦞

Can you believe there’s an abandoned school right next to UConn?!

📍 Mansfield Training School & Hospital in Storrs, CT

First it was an abandoned dog jail, then a nuclear site… and now this. What is going on near the University of Connecticut 👀🎒☢️

This place is spooky, sad, and full of stories. You can feel the energy here — even if you don’t believe in ghosts, there’s something heavy in the air.

🧠📚 Quick facts:
📌 Opened: 1860 (originally as Connecticut School for Imbeciles)
📌 Closed: 1993 after decades of overcrowding + controversy
🏛️ On the National Register of Historic Places
👻 Paranormal investigations have been done here — many say it’s seriously haunted
🪑 Scattered remnants like chairs, files, and wheelchairs still sit abandoned across the grounds

There’s something eerie about this corner of Connecticut… UConn might be famous for basketball, but its backyard is full of dark forgotten history.

Mother Nature finally heard us—Connecticut is officially in its beach era😍🙌🌞

With temps finally hitting 70+, it’s time to bring out the SPF and head to the shore.

Let me put you on to one of the most beautiful (and underrated) beaches in the state — Harvey’s Beach in Old Saybrook, CT 🐚

Locals may want to gatekeep this one… but I’m here to share the love.

🌊 Top-rated with 4.4 stars on Google
🏖️ Soft, walkable sand (rare for CT beaches!)
🦀 Spotted so many wild horseshoe crabs
🌸 Gorgeous flowers + snack shack on-site
🌅 Low tide = long walks out to the sandbars
🚗 Paid parking only — last I checked it was $20–$25, but it could be up to $30 this year!

If you’re craving coastal charm without leaving Connecticut, this is the spot.

This abandoned beach hotel may become seaside condos👀⚓️

📍The Debonair Beach Hotel - West Haven, CT

Once a glamorous 1959 beachfront motel—best known for its Tiffany Room chandelier and high-society parties—it fell into ruin decades ago, becoming a haunting fixture on West Haven’s shore😬

The Latest Scoop:
• Bought in 2021 for ~$1M by Sim Lev Holdings, no construction since—zoning and FEMA setbacks stalled progress  
• In early 2025, the site sold for ~$2M with plans for condos in development  
• As of late 2024, the city approved 30 two-bedroom shoreline condos to replace this long-standing eyesore 

It’s eerie, iconic, and now—maybe, finally transforming. Would you spend the night here?

👀 Follow @thekaylamurphy for more abandoned surprises.
