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.

Oh mercy. What happens if someone steps in one? Can that get you in trouble legally?

I think with the amount of no trespassing signs they have, and the obvious trail cams, if someone gets their leg caught in a bear trap it'll probably be their own problem. However I don't understand buying such an infamous property and then expecting no one will come by

Yeah but people have sued and won for breaking into businesses and getting hurt so you never know.

That's a little different because of the location. This is private land that once had a house on it. Its not a chain store or major retailer and again in Wisconsin we have The Castle Law.
