I live in a rural area so it's almost more of a road with a few houses a good distance apart on it than neighborhood in the traditional sense. But there's this "abandoned" house down the road that randomly has lights on every once in awhile when I take my morning walks. There are never any vehicles there and I never see anyone but yet there are the lights every now and then. Yesterday a television was on in addition to a dim light at the back of the house. Also, since about last week, the front door is now boarded up and there is a security camera on the front porch. But the camera is not pointed at the door or at the house at all, it is pointing toward the road where it would likely not even get a glance at potential intruders. There are no curtains, so when lights are on I sorta glance to see if I ever happen to see a person in there but I never do.
As if that's not weird enough, while on my walk at like 5AM and well away from the creepy house, a drone flew overhead and kinda hovered around me for a bit.
Most of our neighbors had their lights turned off and the closest house to where the drone was is some old lady who I doubt was up at 5:00 flying a drone.
Interesting things, my fellas. Lol

You need to notify police next time you see lights on so they can investigate

Yeah, if you're sure it really is abandoned then should probably notify the authorities. But someone is apparently paying the power bill unless they have a generator.

So they have a camera that's pointed out towards the street with to my understanding you walk by daily, while looking around at their windows and such. Please be careful.

Kinda why I haven't done anything. Someone with some level of ownership or authority over the property has to be paying the bill and somewhat aware of the power usage.
So it doesn't feel like my place to report it.
Calling the cops because some lights are on in a house just because we never see cars or anyone around? Idk...

Yeah I don't stop or look while in front of the cam. I mean it's a public road so I'm not worried about legality, but I don't wanna draw attention to myself from the host or anything

*pushes up glasses*

I can maybe think of a few explanations

In a neighborhood just outside of my hometown there's a house in a neighborhood I would drive around all the time. It looked fairly normal on the outside, but their appeared to be sheets draped over the windows on the inside, the driveway was unpaved, and no one ever seemed to be coming or going. At night you would see a single light on inside.

Later on I found this article

https://www.blogto.com/city/2010/10/toronto_hydros_not-so-hidden_residential_substations/

tl;dr: In larger cities, or in rarer cases in suburban/rural neighborhoods the power company will build houses around electrical transformers so the transformer is placed ideally but doesn't ruin the atmosphere of the neighborhood.

It also could be witness protection or a safe house?

Or hell maybe it could be a drug den

Does your area have a Property Appraiser website with a clickable map? Mine has, and you can see stuff like owners, last sale, taxable value. Check on that first.

Ah yes, good idea!
Zillow showed that the house itself was not worth much but that the property included a lot of land out back, so the property as a whole was well worth over $200,000.
It's not on the market now. This may need further investigation when I get a chance..

Nah. There's too much junk in the yard for it to be anything like that. It has that "once lived in" (if not currently lived in) look.
Plus we're a good distance from any cities, so I doubt there's any authority out there that's be pushing them to make things look nice.
