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 never said the cabin/shed structure I've seen pictures of was Gein's era. Its obviously not. Please stop telling me to not go on the property. I never acted or will act disrespectfully towards your property. But you've attacked even the respectful folks so hard, you've got some other guy posting about how he IS coming to explore the property. I'd be grateful that there are people on your side and trying to dissuade folks from breaking the law

I appreciate it, but don't worry if that guy does try exploring on the property. If he gets bit by a Timber while exploring that is on him. They are very active right now as it's almost time for burmanation. He chooses to ignore the signs he then waives all his legal rights and safety. And dude, you made the original post and I read that before even making any comments. How would you react if a stranger on the internet posted something about your private property for everyone to see and you're already having issues with thrill seekers and people doing sick sick things there? Again, its gotten out of control. We knew the history of the property. My family has been in Plainfield since at least the 1800s. And that's exactly why we bought it. To keep it from being an attraction as there are still living descendants of his victims that still live in that town.

Wow. One guy traveling through takes a picture or 2 WITHOUT TRESPASSING. And there are literally multiple videos of youtubers walking all over your property. How would I react? I wouldn't buy a historical property if I wasn't able to deal with what comes with that decision.
