An abandoned "party house" mansion worth £3.6million was left in such a hurry that kids' Lego was forgotten about.
Going for a snoop around the luxury home in Highland Park, Illinois, US, before its demolition was urban explorer Kaizer Glick who described it as having "spooky air".
The YouTuber told his 40,000 subscribers that the property would be his "dream home" and viewers agreed it was a shame bulldozers were being called in after just 20 years.

The 19-year-old said: "If I were to choose any home I've ever explored to live inside, this would be the definition of my dream home," Kaizer, from Chicago, told NeedToKnow.co.uk.
"The main eye-catching feature of the house was when I walked in… it is filled with mirrors and marble.
"I thought those were very cool as they gave a sort of party house look.
"You then walk into the main room overlooking the lake, which was extremely large and very eye-catching, as well.
"The house features an indoor pool, an indoor movie theatre, a wine cellar, a safe, and a gym room, as well."
Clips show the amazing, huge exterior, with dozens of windows and a long driveway.
Kaizer can then be seen entering the home through a back door, which was left open.
The video continues, showcasing the entrance hall and main rooms, all decorated completely in marble with stunning floor-to-ceiling windows.
He also shows the balconies, kids' bedrooms, where Lego can be spotted, and the grand lobby, also with marble flooring and walls.
The incredible swimming pool can then be seen completely empty but in amazing condition.
Kaizer also found an indoor theatre in the basement, with a huge, cinema-like TV.
He said: "When touring the house, although I forgot to film it, I also noticed Hebrew letters along the walls.
"Highland Park is a largely Jewish town. A man my age commented on my video saying he used to live there and that I 'played with his Legos' in a joking way.
"I thought that was awesome to speak to the former resident. I looked him up to confirm and it was in fact him."
Upon researching the history, Kaizer found that the home was built in 1990, recently being sold in 2022 for $4.5 million (£3,569,175), but has now been demolished.
He commented: "It's currently demolished. I was with the demolition crew and watched it get torn down myself. The new owner is a cool guy and wants to build a custom mansion of his liking over the old one.

"Currently construction has begun and there is nothing left. I was most shocked about how new it was for its demolition.
"The demolition company did salvage all the furniture and metal inside, but it was still a shock to see a 20-something-year-old mansion get demolished.
"They did a good job taking what they could for the time it took to begin tearing it down."
The clip of the castle has since gone viral after he shared it on YouTube, garnering 8,900 views and hundreds of likes and comments.
