Lane Chapel C.M.E. Church - An abandoned Santuary

As a photographer I have decided to collect information of the photos I take. So I came across this old abandoned church in Guthrie Ky called Lane Chapel C.M.E. Church with my buddy Woody (he came from Texas to stay with us for Christmas vacation and believe me, he wants to come back).

Took as many photos as I could, even from the inside. So didn't do nothing with the photos I took from this epic spot (because I needed to setup my work station). So I finally got my area organized and started to edit the photos I took. I was amazed by the details and the final outcome. But something was bothering me, so I decided to look up this location. 

Guess what I found? Absolutely nada (nothing). I even searched the Kentucky Digital Library which it only came with tax and useless info. Kept searching, even my wife pitched in. She couldn't believe it either that nothing was posted about this abandoned sanctuary. Told the wife "Babe let's take a ride". by the way cold + cloudy rainy weather = bundle up like a bear because it's going to be freezing. Drove to the location and took a couple of more shots. 

Then drove down the road to a small country store to ask about the abandoned church. He was very pleasant and courteous. He tells me "Well son that church has been abandoned 15 years plus. It was a great church and not to be racist it was ran by black people. It was real nice. Until the elders who ran the church started getting sick and gradually died leaving it to their younger kids. But you know how it is, they just let it go." Me thinking "I have never ran a church so don't know how it is", I only nodded and said "Wow, that is terrible, so what else happen?"  

He then tells me "Well since then it has been abandoned and its been there. People say it's haunted and they see things. But I have never seen anything." I replied "Well thank you sir for the information. You might see me around town taking more photos and gathering more info". Shook his hand and drove to the house in front of the abandoned church.The lady at the resident said that she has lived in that house for more than 12 years and it has been abandoned. And that she gets an eerie sensation from that place and that she hasn't step foot in that place. But she does see a lot of people taking pictures and then they leave and never come back. 

Have to say that I will continue to search and see what happen to this church. I have added a couple of photos I took from the location to my Facebook page, click on the link BoriPhotography Galleria. And a screen shot from http://www.nonprofitfacts.com.
