These eerie photographs show an abandoned mortuary found by an explorer - which once held hundreds of dead bodies.
Matt Scott, 25, stumbled upon the building, which he said had a "foul smell", when he was exploring woodland near Abergele, Conwy.
The urban adventurer called it "one of the creepiest explores" he'd ever been involved in.
The mortuary closed in 2000 and has been derelict in the two decades since.
"After taking a scenic stroll through the Welsh woodland, I spotted a small, creepy building hiding in the trees. I was shocked at what I had found. There was a strange feeling of coldness - it was unquestionably eerie," Matt said today.
"It had a very foul smell - the amount of dead bodies that tiny room must have seen was very evident in the odour.
"I got the feeling that there were thousands of lost souls still trapped inside, looking for peace in a morgue that's been abandoned for more than two decades."
The explorer, from Knaresborough, north Yorkshire, said the building was completely deserted during his visit. It was once, though, the temporary home of thousands deceased persons in preparation for autopsy or funeral arrangements.
Hauntingly, the building still contained the fridges where bodies were stored and a post-mortem slab.
Matt also found old paperwork, coroners reports and death certificates still laying around dating back to the mid-eighties.
He said: "The idea of visiting an abandoned morgue is both sad and very creepy.
"What an incredibly thought provoking place this was, and a sad reminder of what awaits us all one day."
