Abandoned Victorian manor house

And you're sure it's not a vampire in disguise?

    It's great that you encountered a bat but FYI it looks like you might have broken the law by taking that photo:

    I didn't deliberately disturb him. I was passing through and needed my torch. Thought it was a fungus or polyp of some sort (the basement was full of weird growths) and snapped a quick pic as it moved and peeked its little furry face out. I dimmed my torch and passed through quickly. There were a few others but I ignored them.
