INCREDIBLE snaps reveal eerie abandoned Russian ghost towns frozen in time after residents fled hellish -50C temperatures. The eerie images were taken 11 miles from the coal-mining town of Vorkuta in the Sementnozavodsky region. Vorkuta is one of the coldest towns in Europe and was once home to a Stalin-established Gulag prison camp. But it has been a long time since these properties have seen the hustle and bustle of residents, with snow blasting its way into forgotten homes and icicles covering staircases and sticking out of window frames. Aerial shots also show abandoned vehicles blanketed with snow in a car park while apartment blocks appear painted white after being hit with by blizzards.

‘It hasn’t been the fantasy land I thought it would be’: Documentary goes inside ‘creepy’ Florida utopia for senior citizens that it claims has sinister underbelly of racism, orgies, drunken debauchery and make-believe history
The sprawling expanse of flat emptiness in central Florida is an unlikely place for America's fastest growing metro area in the nation. Yet, just 70 miles northwest of Orlando sits 'The Villages' – the world's largest retirement community that surpasses the size of Manhattan and encompasses five zip codes with an ever-growing population. Spanning 32-square-miles, The Villages is a veritable boom-town for baby boomers aged 55+ who flock to the geriatric paradise in droves for its endless margarita mixers (happy hour starts at 11am), unlimited golf courses (50, to be exact), and notorious for its laissez-fair attitude towards sex, thriving swingers scene, and controversial politics. 'I'm just saying for me, it hasn't been the fantasy land I thought it would be, for reasons that are true to my own,' said Barbara Lochiatto, a widow from Boston who has lived in The Villages for 12-years and longs to return to her hometown but can no longer afford to do so. Barbara is just one of … [Read more...] about ‘It hasn’t been the fantasy land I thought it would be’: Documentary goes inside ‘creepy’ Florida utopia for senior citizens that it claims has sinister underbelly of racism, orgies, drunken debauchery and make-believe history
Mother-of-two reveals how she’s using YouTube tutorials to transform eight-bedroom former Methodist church into a modern family home in between homeschooling
A mother-of-two has revealed how she's spending seven days a week renovating the eight-bedroom former Methodist Church she bought in a hurry after just one viewing. Emily Barratt, 36, from Manchester, and her husband paid £470,000 for the property, and spends five hours every weekday renovating her house while homeschooling her children, working on the house between 1pm and 6pm, while she spends seven hours a day on the weekends. Although she called in the professionals to do the kitchen, which needed a lot of structrual changes, Emma has been doing the bulk of the work herself, learning through YouTube tutorials and by trial and error. Her renovations include turning a bedroom into her dream dressing room; the master bedroom where she spent two weeks sanding the beams and fitting new carpets; doing the painting, floors and tilling in her new pastel-themed downstairs loo, and even turned the garage into a bar. The house was also still with the previous … [Read more...] about Mother-of-two reveals how she’s using YouTube tutorials to transform eight-bedroom former Methodist church into a modern family home in between homeschooling
The ‘paradise’ in HELL: Unseen photos reveal inside of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Hoess’ luxury villa with its beautiful garden hidden behind high walls to shield his family from horrors of Nazi death camp
It was the home referred to as a 'paradise' by its inhabitants, a villa surrounded by a walled garden and high trees. But it was where Nazi Rudolf Hoess lived with his wife and five children when he was the commander of Auschwitz-Birkenau - the concentration camp in which 1.2million Jews were murdered during the Holocaust. The home was on the corner of the camp. The trees and the garden wall deliberately obscured the view of the chimney of the crematoria, where the bodies of men, women and children who had been murdered in gas chamber were burnt to ashes. Now, astonishing photos - taken in 2007 but revealed for the first time - show the inside of the home, near the town of Oswiecim, in Poland, which was occupied by the Nazis during the Second World War. The images were taken by historian Ian Baxter, who - along with his friend Kevin Bowden - was given a private tour of the home by its then owner. They show how much of the property was still as it was in the 1940s, including … [Read more...] about The ‘paradise’ in HELL: Unseen photos reveal inside of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Hoess’ luxury villa with its beautiful garden hidden behind high walls to shield his family from horrors of Nazi death camp
