Filth, chaos, weird religious symbols, feral animals and orgies - inside Oakland warehouse

[FarCenter]

Shocking video and images have emerged from inside the doomed Oakland warehouse depicting a squalid 'hell-hole' not fit to live in - as a tenant told how cats urinated everywhere and it was the venue for an orgy.

The footage and photos, obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com, shows the living quarters of some of the residents of the building known as the Oakland Ghost Ship.

While photos on the art collective's website show an eclectic and creative space for artists and musicians, the reality of life behind the scenes in this dilapidated building is horrific.

Dark and dingy rooms don't look fit for humans, with exposed electrical wires and panels, venting pipes and piles of junk and old clothes everywhere.

Tenant Shelley Mack, who disclosed the pictures to DailyMail.com also revealed that there were three fires while she lived there - in late 2014 and early 2015 - caused by faulty electrics.

1. There's nothing wrong with weird religious symbols

2. Except maybe the swastika in the fifth picture -- although it is allegedly Hindu.

4. The Nazis coopted the symbol

it is indeed of Hindu origin. Hitler ruined the Chaplin moustache, too.

5. Her pictures are a documentation to what was going on besides a 24 HR art studio

I still do not get the trailer references I have seen mentioned as living spaces often in reporting this tragedy. Do they mean like storage warehouse lockers or real at the dock trailers , or what, I do not know

6. Probably something like this pulled into the warehouse - Flat roof for having sex on it
