In The Guardian, Cleveland photographer Jonny Joo has documented a series of discarded properties in the midwest state, offering an eerie glimpse into America’s decaying heartland.

It's like something out of a 70s John Carpenter horror movie.

I wonder if people will be flocking to these places now? Strange that we are living in ghost towns now.

I think the best way to experience these places is through beautiful photographs. I wouldn't like to actually be there.

I don't know. I've been in a few empty/abandoned places now and there's and almost scary sense of calm, if it can be scary. In Durham last week it felt like a dream come true, not to be confused with the other "a dream come true".

Oh, I like quiet places, but derelict houses in reality can be smelly or plagued with insects, things that don't show up in photos.
