An abandoned mansion, reportedly belonging to a millionaire, has been discovered – bizarrely filled with taxidermy.
In different states of decay, a multitude of heads, paws and skulls littered the property, hiding around every corner.
Discovered by Daniel Sims – an urban explorer who shares his adventures on his YouTube channel, Bearded Reality – the mansion was tucked away in South Wales.
Estimated to be abandoned for at least 20 years, the property is believed to have been home to a hunter who kept trophies.
“The house itself has seen extensive damage now, with floors collapsing, but would be worth over a million – just the house itself and land, which is extensive,” the 34-year-old urban explorer told http://NeedToKnow.co.uk.
“The owners had a lot of money, which you could tell from a lot of the older antiques and collectables kept here.
“We found extensive taxidermy paws, claws, skulls, and heads at the place.
“There were other taxidermy animals here including a tiger head, but this was stolen.
“The kitchen had everything left out like someone had just been sitting making food and living their life which is quite creepy but as you go through the place you can see how damaged the place is.
“I was surprised that the clock had not been stolen and seeing the old weapons was awesome to see.”
“I was amazed and saddened [to be here].
“Amazed that such a place is just abandoned and left and had everything left behind, and really makes you think if you have no one and no one to inherit, what happens to your possessions and memories once you go?
“Saddened as a place that was clearly very grand is slowly being taken back by nature and the elements and will end up in ruin.
“The animals and skulls really set the tone of the place.
“We even found some lampshades which are made of animal skin.
“The made four-poster bed just suggests the place was abandoned and left very suddenly and very valuable things just out in the open suggesting that no one apart from vandals and thieves has been here.”
