I went to the abandoned zoo for my friend’s birthday, and I decided to take some pictures of the facility where animals used to roam around in. This picture was taken a few seconds before my friend decided to shout at me to keep up with the group of other friends. I got scared and I tripped and fell down some stairs but not all the way down to the cage. Luckily, I didn’t have any injuries and my friend apologized. I had no idea who put those candles at the bottom of the stairs, which was really mysterious to me. My photograph relates to this year's contest theme because there's really detailed parts in this photograph, such as the graffiti, that tell stories within themselves. Turns out the site of the old zoo was built around 1912 and continued to be built on over the next few decades. But by the mid-1960's it was decided that another zoo was to be built. This facility was under a very poor condition where animals would die and it was thought that the Health Department was going to shut it down for good. There was a myth going around about this zoo that a horror movie was filmed here a long time ago about a dog who was bitten by Dracula himself to become a vampire dog and was eventually killed and buried in this zoo. But the dog would come back to life at night to haunt anyone who steps foot onto the ancient grounds. Some people have said that they could even hear the echoing of the dog barking which was really creepy to me.
