In the South, out in the country, people once built new houses, and left the old wooden houses standing. Eventually, junk would accumulate, vines would grow over them, and they'd become ghostly relics of the past. As kids, these old places would scare us. They seemed haunted.
I came upon a broken cedar bench, and sited it in my yard. Then I added detail from my own junk collection (see images below) and some elements that seemed genuinely scary -- a skeletal hand holding a golden remote, disembodied eyeballs, and worn-out occultish symbols. There will probably be more as time goes on.
