Eerie pictures show a long-abandoned mortuary found by an explorer in the middle of the woods in Wales. Matt Scott, 25, made the discovery while out exploring woodland in Abergele.
He stumbled across an old mortuary on May 8, which has been abandoned for more than two decades. Matt, who runs Facebook page 'Lost Places and Forgotten Faces' to document his exploring, said: "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. 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."
Matt said the mortuary closed in 2000, and has remained out of use ever since. The building, completely deserted, was once the temporary home of thousands of bodies in preparation for autopsy or funeral arrangements.
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.
"One of the creepiest explores I've ever done, for sure."
