Went and took some pictures at an abandoned house yesterday with the Newport and it ended up being pretty creepy.
Copied from my Facebook page:
So about a month ago I was at a birthday party and drove by this place. I love classic architecture and knew I had to get the Newport (very gingerly) up the (very rough) driveway. My friend assured me no one would be around to care.
I pull into the driveway and there’s a man and his dog probably a hundred feet away looking up at the house, and neither reacted to my not very quiet Newport pulling in. I leave it running and get out and walk up the them. When I’m about 10 feet away from my car the guy turns around but between the mask and the car running next to me I knew he couldn’t hear me so I just kinda waved. It seemed like he was looking through me until my hand went up and he kinda recoiled like he was surprised that I was real.
I asked if he would mind if I drove my car up for a couple pictures. 10 minutes tops, if it would get up the driveway. After a little pause he shrugs and goes “I guess”.
I walk back to the car, tickled that I was gonna get to get these pictures. As I drive by them on the way up the guy says “That’s a nice old piece of Detroit iron” to which I replied “thank you” and then we just kinda looked at each other and then I said “oooookay well I’m gonna head up” and continued on my way up. I only took two photos up there before coming back down to take the picture of the car with the house in the background where I definitely would’ve seen them if they had kept walking up like they were when I left.
So between the looking through me, weird gaps in conversation and him suddenly going poof, I’m pretty sure I met a ghost. And a ghost dog.

Wow, that’s quite a spooky story. Could be a ghost or could be a random guy who doesn’t own the house. My only real ghost story is that one time someone showed up in the background of a photo taken in a house that no one recognizes. Pretty sure the three other people in the house that weren’t in the photo couldn’t possibly be the figure in the reflection of my sunglasses and the window so that’s still a mystery.
The photos are absolutely incredible though. Such a spooky vibe going on. With the fall colors in the background complimenting the green Newport I wouldn’t change a thing. I love the car, I love the season, and I love the location.

Th at’s a good way to be a ghost, if you get to keep your dog.

Thank you! I listed the Newport for sale earlier because I found another car I want, but that car will probably sell before the Newport and I’ll pull it down again. The only way he could’ve been gone by the time I came back down was if he like ran, and he didn’t look like the running type.

I’m alive and don’t have a dog. If I get a dog when I become a ghost we can wrap the whole thing up right now.

Oh, that is indeed spooky. Could have been a gh-gh-gh-gh-gh-ghost ! Maybe he just walked off into the woods so his dog could take a dump?
Still reminds me of that scary photo. There were three different reflections showing someone sitting at the counter in front of where the selfie took place and despite being very overexposed they appeared to have their mouth open in a scream or yell. And there is no way anyone could have been there because the only people there were in the photo.

Neat house. Can’t have been abandoned all that long ago, as it has a satellite dish on the side. Might want to photoshop that out!

Solid shoot, great location and an awesome car . I love old houses. The architecture and the craftsmanship that went into them tell so many stories of their own. For better or worse, I made the choice to purchase one. The road goes on forever and the projects never end.

I love abandoned houses. My favorite one was in Roxbury, Vermont. I should drive up there and see if it’s still there.

IIRC the “steering linkage” on that vintage Newport was also pretty creepy...
