Creepy images show a house secretly stuffed with Disney memorabilia including comic books printed over 50 years ago.

The crumbling house is filled full of aged magazines, a cobwebbed piano and dolls that are slowly fading. Mould has taken over the windowsills and green shoots are breaking through the wooden floorboards.

The photos were taken by urban explorer Kyle Urbex in Toddington, Bedfordshire, England. Located just outside Toddington midway between Luton and Milton Keynes, the abandoned house sits on land that was used for the sale and storage of scrap metal.

Images show brightly coloured Disneyland Comic Books that look to be printed in the 1970s and photographs from Disney movies as well as the fairytale books that Disney brought to life including Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Rapunzel, Beauty and the Beast, The Sleeping Beauty, Hansel and Gretel, Puss in Boots and The Frog Prince.

The owner of the home lived in it for 43 years before he died in 2012. After his death a wide collection of Disney and other toys, books, magazines were left behind in the house, which was left to rot away and fall into a state of disrepair and dilapidation. The future of the home is unclear.‌

“The site sits frozen in time like a house sized memory box rotting away. The building will likely be raised to the ground via demolition work sometime in the near future if an owner doesn't step forward and save the property turning into a home once more. I quite enjoyed this one with all the Disney items inside.

“It was quite interesting browsing through all the different books and magazines.‌ I found it quite sad that the house has been left to rot, I do hope it can be saved sometime in the near future and all the Disney memories can be found a new home. My bet would be they all are sadly destroyed and eventually turned into a pile of rubbish,‌ Another time capsule on the list, however which is always a bonus.”

A different urban explorer recently spent the night in a 'haunted' abandoned asylum. Dave, better known online as Freaktography, shares his creepy findings from venturing into buildings forgotten in time and is known for uploading clips of his adventures with his followers on YouTube.

Most recently, he took a look around a 30-year-old asylum, which he claims is haunted and he was left horrified after hearing loud noises from the floor below. He was brave enough to stay overnight in the former asylum and slept on a hammock to make an easy escape if any spooky occurrences happened.

While visiting the site, Dave from Ontario, Canada, said: “I heard a very loud sound coming from the floor beneath us. It was the sound of someone dragging something heavy and metal across the floor. I froze and every hair on my body stood on end. I stood there still and silent.”
