It's been awhile since we've posted a creepy, abandoned compound so I figured it was overdue.  This area reminded me a lot of the Abandoned Homes of Hellhole Canyon, with many strange oddities and unanswered questions. This adventure should only be done in the wintertime when the snakes are laying low.  The shrub is overgrown everywhere and this could be a very dangerous trip otherwise.

These homes look to have been abandoned for at least 30 years.  We found old checks dating back to the late 1960's and early 1970's so perhaps it was abandoned shortly after that.  The reason it got its name, the Murder House, is because the main house was filled with books and tapes relating to murder.  Almost every single item we found was rather dark and sinister.

The homes sit like a time capsule in disarray.  Items thrown about and thrashed everywhere.  So that now leaves us with the unanswered question of who lived here and why was the compound abandoned?  Perhaps time will tell.

    This place was actually abandoned sometime in the mid/late 2000’s I believe. It used to belong to (at least lived in by) Cynthia Allen (nee, Conyers) – we found bank statement from Bank of America dating to 2001, with the name “Cynthia Allen” and dated as Feb 15, 2001. Some research online revealed it was sold in 2007, so maybe whoever bought it abandoned it soon after, but it was definitely lived in until *at least* 2001. Found an old grade school paper marked with an ‘A’ for Cynthia Conyers dating to 1960 – so it looked like the family lived in this home for generations. So we know for sure it was lived in at least from 1960-2001. Did some digging online and found out the Cynthia in Question is 70 years old, so likely born around 1951, that would indicate the home was lived in probably from the 50’s to the mid 2000’s when the home was sold (2007). Interesting place!

    I knew Cynthia Allen. She worked in biotech and was one of my employees. I k ow she had a son. Her parents lived in Encinitas and she would commute a couple days a week between Warner Springs and Encinitas.
