    Abandoned malls are all around us. They can be found in small towns and large cities and come in all shapes and sizes. Some malls have been abandoned for years, while others have only been deserted recently. Whatever the case, there is something undeniably eerie about these decaying shopping centers. In this article, real estate developer Damon Becnel will look at five fun facts about abandoned malls.

    Spooky Feeling, A Photographer’s Dream

    When people think of abandoned malls, they usually think of them as mysterious places that are best avoided. However, these places can be pretty interesting for photographers. The main reason for this is that abandoned malls have a feeling of being frozen in time. All the store signs and advertisements are still there, but no people are around to give the place life, which can create a surreal atmosphere, especially if the mall was once bustling with activity. In addition, the vast expanses of space can be quite haunting, mainly if the mall is in disrepair. Few things are more photo-worthy than an abandoned mall that has fallen into ruin.

    Often Used For Filming Horror Movies

    Abandoned malls are often used for filming horror movies because they provide the perfect setting for a sense of isolation and unease. These vast, empty spaces with their long corridors and dark corners create an atmosphere of foreboding that is perfect for scares. In addition, the desolation of an abandoned mall highlights civilization’s fragility and mortality, making them ideal locations for stories about the end of the world or apocalyptic scenarios. Lastly, because they are no longer in use, filming in an abandoned mall can be done without disrupting the lives of residents or businesses. For these reasons, abandoned malls have become famous for horror movie filmmakers.

    Some Turned Into Churches Or Hospitals

    Some abandoned malls have been turned into churches or hospitals because they are large, empty spaces that can be easily converted. Many churches and hospitals need more space, so they take advantage of the opportunity to move into a mall. Additionally, abandoned malls are often located conveniently for real estate developers like Damon Becnel, making them ideal for churches and hospitals that want to be easily accessible to their congregations or patients. While some may see this as an eyesore, these adaptive reuse projects can benefit the community. They provide a new use for an old building and help revitalize the area around the mall.

    Great For Urban Exploration

    Abandoned malls are also great locations for urban exploration. These places are full of hidden nooks and crannies, and they often have a maze-like quality, making them perfect for exploring, and it can be a lot of fun to see what secrets these places hold. Also, abandoned malls can be great places to photograph or go on ghost hunts. An abandoned mall is the perfect place to explore if you’re feeling adventurous.

    Many Being Reclaimed By Nature

    In many cases, nature is reclaiming abandoned malls because these vast expanses of concrete and glass are not conducive to plant growth. However, over time, plants will find a way to take root in the cracks and crevices of the mall. This can lead to an abandoned mall being overgrown with vegetation and, in some cases, even trees. While this may not be everyone’s idea of a beautiful sight, it is interesting to see how nature can take back what was once hers.

    Final Thoughts

    Abandoned malls are fascinating places and offer a unique glimpse into our consumer-driven society. These places are often full of hidden secrets and provide an excellent opportunity for urban exploration. If you’re looking for something fun and different, why not check out an abandoned mall. You might just be surprised at what you find.
