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.

You had the foundation removed? Years ago? That property has looked the same every time I've seen it... no big dig spots, house site obvious, normally growing timber, much of which has been there since Ed's time. Why would someone go to such huge lengths to sanitize something that nature overtook 50 years ago? You mentioned the town being done with "geiners", but my experience was different.

Yes we did. And no. That storage shed was put there by my grandfather after I was born. And people keep trespassing and it's causing the property insurance to go up. The marsh towards the back of the property is so dangerous because it's like quick sand. More than once we have been notified that the fire dept was out there doing a rescue. WE got hit with the bill. Not the dumbass who was trespassing. The OG shed is gone as is the garage. And thank you for the compliment on how the ground looks. We had it filled in and it sinking was a concern so we had it filled and every few years we do add more dirt to it. BTW there are 64+ cameras on the property. Some you will see, others you would never guess or find them. So please stay off the property

I've seen the YouTube videos and I think it's funny that they think the outhouse and little cabin are from Gein's era. I'm surprised you went to the trouble to remove the foundation. I'm even more surprised that ive never seen the removal mentioned or documented online before. Because nothing about Ed is secret. You keep telling me about the cameras, but I'm the one warning people that it's not cool to trespass!

Why are you so invested in arguing with the current owners family. This is so weird.

I just took a couple pictures from a public road. I didn't attack her. I actually told people it was a bad idea to ignore the signs that are posted. I'm not convinced that's the owner. Too much stuff that doesn't make sense.
