Haunting images have revealed the mystery of a deceased professor's home that was left as a time capsule.

One of the photos shows a wig of human hair in one of the rooms, while another shot reveals an abandoned car in the garage.

There is also an old Beatle overgrown and rusting away with only 6,000 miles on the clock.

While visiting the abandoned place in North Wales, urban explorer Daniel Sims, 43, known as Beardedreality on YouTube and social media, together with Mr. Micky, Urbexing With Shaun, and another known only as Razertwisted, claimed they heard strange voices.

However, they then turned out to be other explorers who they had bumped into earlier.

The explorers also said they could feel "unexplained" wind inside the property.

Some of the photos show letters and pictures from the late professor's life, including those from friends thanking her for attending her wedding, while another is a solicitor's letter concerning her father's will.

Daniel said the house belonged to a lady called Angela, who died in 2019 but was living in a care home at that time.

The woman had no children or siblings, so her belongings were all left inside the home - which she had inherited from her father.

The urban explorer described the atmosphere as "pretty relaxed" as the house is located in the Welsh countryside.

Daniel said: "The Professor's House property once belonged to a lady called Angela. She died in 2019 but was living in a care home by this time.

"With no children or siblings, this property has been left full of all her worldly possessions.

"She inherited the house from her father and she was a professor.

"The outside of the house was showing signs of overgrowth and had at one time sheet metal over some of the windows and doors, however one of the pieces had a massive hole in it which allowed us to crawl in and a window to the side of that was also open.

"The atmosphere was pretty relaxed as it was in the countryside. We had free rein to explore the place, take photos and enjoy the views.

"However while we were exploring we heard voices outside and were like 'oh no who is that' but just turned out to be some other explorers we had bumped into earlier."

He added: "Outside the house was overgrown and showing major signs of decay, whereas inside parts had just been left but showed signs of ransacking for valuables and also the remains of how the owner must have lived.

"We were at this site for over-an-hour filming, exploring the place, taking photos and discussing why the place could be left like this.

"I believe we had established that it had been abandoned since 2015-2016, but it looked like it could have been left for 20-30 years, with all the overgrowth.

"Micky and I were in the room filled with books and were suddenly swept with a breeze right in front of us, but nowhere else in the room and then a piece of hanging ceiling started spinning randomly so we were trying to explain what that could be and it put us a little on edge.

"We found two cars that had been left on an old Beatle overgrown and rusting away with only 6,000 miles on the clock.

"Inside was special. In one room the shelves were stacked with books and loads of records just sitting there waiting to be used.

"In the living room sat the remains of an amazing grandfather clock which had been taken apart by vandals, and the top of the clock was displaying a pair of heads randomly so we put the clock back together.

"Upstairs was filled with the lady's things and we even found her old wig made from real human hair which was pretty spooky and her old clothes hung up on display.

"I love showing unique and unusual places, showing how people used to live, and things you just don't generally come across which makes what I do special."
