Abandoned Missouri: A Haunted History

Captures the haunting beauty of deserted buildings, motels, and historic sites, revealing forgotten stories.

Abandoned Missouri: A Haunted History is a hauntingly beautiful photography book that captures the eerie allure of the places left behind. From an old prison that housed inmates for 168 years, a deserted church, and dilapidated farmhouses, to an abandoned barn and house at the end of a modern—day walking trail, each image whispers tales of the past, beckoning you to unravel their secrets. Imagine the laughter and tears that once filled these now—silent rooms, the countless stories etched into the fading walls. These abandoned relics, with their peeling paint and crumbling infrastructure, conjure a haunting narrative of bygone eras, transporting viewers to a forgotten past. Abandoned roadside motels, once bustling with weary travelers, and empty gas stations where families stopped to refuel and stretch their legs, now lie dormant. Through the lens of photographer Angie Harris, these forgotten spaces come alive, stirring emotions and sparking imagination. Let the haunting beauty of Missouri’s abandoned places captivate you, evoke a sense of nostalgia and wonder, and discover the memories that linger in the shadows.
