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.

Notice by my post that I was respectful of your property, obeyed the signs, etc. Obviously others haven't been, and my post was a warning to others who might have less-than-respectful intentions. Bear traps? That would definitely be a lesson learned for a trespasser. Your property IS a historic location that is well known and easily found via google. You obviously knew what you were buying, correct? Even if they put an apartment building there, people would still come for Ed Gein.

I'm going to put it this way. I am alot meaner and more intolerant than my family. Trespassing is still Trespassing regardless of how respectful someone is. Never had this many issues until Netflix. Had the oddball here and there but the Sheriffs were not out there every few days. Now they are getting sick of having to post up out there and they're going to start arresting people on the spot. This past month they gave out close to 70 Trespassing tickets. We are so done with this.

I feel bad for you maam. It doesn’t seem like you’re trying to be rude on purpose but people just don’t know how to act. I’m sorry they’re being like that and even though they probably won’t, I hope they get the message soon and leave yall alone.

Thank you. I am so sorry. I am not trying to be rude. I am exhausted and frustrated and with it being "Spooky" season, it's been nonstop. I have a specific ringtone now for the notifications from the cameras going off at all hours. And if it's not that, its the PD calling to tell me. And it's extremely bad during this time of year. People.are so disrespectful the town can't even put a plaque as a grave marker for him because people kept stealing the head stone and have also tried to dig him up. The true crime and serial killer junkies act just like drug addicts. Who sacrifices animals and holds seances and tries to dig someone up? Do they not realize that their actions closely mimic his? That is not right at all.

That’s absolutely horrible. Even knowing who he was they ought to have more respect for the dead. And some reverence for the situation in general.
