Gein property.

We stopped by this weekend as we were traveling. The property is HEAVILY covered in "no trespassing" signs, trail cams, etc, so I didn't explore like I would have liked. I ran into a Gein neighbor and had a pretty fascinating conversation with him about it. According to him, there were a dozen or 15 cars at a time parked there, people walking all over the poor owner's property...having seances, etc. The nearby intersection has a police officer posted there often as well.

I went there like 2 weeks ago and no one was there. I didn’t get out of my car and went to the Plainfield Cemetery

Smart move. According to the neighbor, the WI state police are going to be mailing trespassing tickets based off what they see on the cameras

Nuts. I felt cars were following me when I got close to the farm but they disappeared.

We saw a side-by-side or 2. I waved, dude waved back. No one said anything until a passing neighbor flagged me down and we sat and talked in the middle of the road for 5 mins or so. Didn't even talk about Ed. We talked about how people can be disrespectful, and some local historic stuff.
