Inside abandoned home frozen in time and filled with artefacts from around the world

An abandoned home holds a host of treasures behind its front door and is almost like a time capsule from the 1970s.

The family abode hosts a patterned décor and strange totems from the worldly travels, those who once lived there, enjoyed.

In the 1950s the female occupant emigrated to Ontario, Canada from Germany with her husband and young son.

Before their move, the family co-owned an automotive shop in Germany, but were looking for a fresh start in Canada.

The husband created a transit repair company, producing profitable modes of transportation.

He died in the late 1970s, after which his company was sold, allowing his wife to live comfortably off the profits.

The wife eventually met another man and the pair enjoyed travelling almost 60 countries together worldwide.

After many years together her partner died in 2015 at the age of 87. She followed five years later, in 2020.

The property contains a large 1970s themed bar, a strange Aztec statue from their travels and German signs from businesses.

These photos were captured by urban exploration photographer and filmmaker Dave of Freaktography.com in, Ontario in Canada.

He said: "This abandoned 1970s house is one of the most bizarre and fascinating places I've ever explored.

"There was a retro 70s bar inside the abandoned house.

"This place is so weird and strange that you'll never believe it's real.

"This abandoned house is an amazing example of 1970s architecture, and it's a great place to explore if you're into urban exploration and weird attractions.

"The husband built his very own transit repair company, ultimately moving on to creating, producing and manufacturing a highly profitable mode of transportation that would be implemented by transit organisations all over the province."
