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.
'They were small fires. There were no sprinklers so everybody was just aware, if you smelled smoke you would go look and put it out.
'They were isolated fires, a transponder blew up and electrical sockets got overloaded, everybody was very aware that the place was a fire hazard, it was filled with old dried wood and wooden furniture.
'There were power cords and extension cords hooked up to extension cords everywhere. To get across all the place to heat and light all the trailers. Everybody would plug in and they'd get overloaded, refrigerators and microwaves and cell phones, lots of electrical equipment and massive stereo equipment, any system would have been overloaded.'
...
'To be honest I didn't think it was going to last this long before it went up or somebody shut it down.'
Mack recalls how one doorway was blocked because it led to the property of a neighbor who'd been in a dispute with the operators.
The 58-year-old jewelry maker who lived there for four or five months leaving in February, 2015, became so angry at the conditions that she began to log...

Full title: EXCLUSIVE: Filth, chaos, weird religious symbols, feral animals and orgies - inside Oakland warehouse of horrors before deadly blaze as tenant tells of previous fires
Buddhism has swastikas and their meaning is not the same as the German ones. The swastikas in this picture though, seem to be the German kind.
I expect either Oliver Stone or Mel Gibson to make a movie about this strange event within the next four years.
Derick Ion, the bumbling ‘manager’ is vain, delusional and so amoral that, he will want to play himself, and not for free.
Probably the mayor’s mansion back when Moonbeam ran
the city.
It appears to have been more of a cult than a collective.
The refrigerator overloaded circuits as it strove to overcome the Global Warming surrounding it.
The Ghost Ship of Oakland Ca.; Where Santeria meets Wicca, then whoops it up with the ghost of Timothy Leary.
Mel Gibson is an incredible producer/director/actor. Would like to see another ambitious film such as Passion of the Christ and Apocalypto.
Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom wannabes?
Looks like a typical OWS hippy dippy artsy neo-hippy commune.
Leary was an effete Easterner. This is Kesey country, with a dash of Alan Watts thrown in for good measure.
Sorry but zero damns given for any of them.
Filthy idiot hippies and fags doing filthy idiot hippie faggot things while the authorities look the other way and ignore the potentially deadly hazards they created.
That about sums this up and some filthy idiot hippie fags need to do some jail time now.
Buddhism has swastikas and their meaning is not the same as the German ones. The swastikas in this picture though, seem to be the German kind.>>>>>>>
That’s confirmed.
The origin of the tem svastika is sanskrit.
The design originates from a pattern of the geological striations between several strata on the sides of Mount Kailas, appearing only in the Spring during thaw, thought to be the center or navel of the world by the Brahmins of ancient India. Mount Kailas also was thought to be the mountain home of various Hindu deities. The rotation of the Hindu svastika or Buddhist version would be clockwise.
The Nazi version of the svastika is in reverse, in rotation it would be counter-clockwise , and as such, unnatural, the opposite of the ancient peaceful meaning of the true , original svastika.
Bkmrk.

A lot of those killed weren’t “residents.” They were just there for a night out at a concert/party thrown by a California record company.
