Abandoned Swimming Pools Going Viral

Posted by Doug Murray

We've got another great collection of abandoned places for you. This time we combed the Internet to find the most viral images of deserted swimming pools. Why pools? Well, they seem so much more forlorn than your standard abandoned fare. You can almost hear the splash of water and the screams of happy children. But at the same time they're dark and dirty and oh-so-sad. They're pretty creepy, too.
