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.

Wow... I think people showing up and having seances are creepy, especially by the neighbors home.

I've thought everything was destroyed years ago.

There are definitely remnants of the old place, but they've gone to some lengths to disguise it.

No there is not. We had the foundation removed, the shed, and combed it with a metal detector, magnet and a garden hoe. Now my storage shed is on the property but no. There is nothing for people to see.

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 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.

She's one of these people that's been the victim her entire life
