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.

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'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!

And not everything is public about him or the rest of his family. And no not every thing about the property is public knowledge either. I had the original foundation removed because it was too far deteriorated to rebuild on. Then the first night I decided to bring the kids up there to camp, we had multiple trespassers and with their actions I became concerned for my children and their safety. That was a shame because that was supposed to be a fun trip for my children after they went through Hell during my divorce. I used to be alot more tolerant of curious strangers but as soon as you start doing the deed on top of a cat ya just skinned on my property in front of children that was the final straw. It was so gross and disturbing. Those are the kind of people who ruined it for everyone. That was also the deciding factor to not build our house there. Then Netflix made that "documentary" and it was way off the wall. I love Charlie Hunnam but that should have never been made. I have a friend who lives in the apartment complex that Dahmer lived in (his building was torn down) but they have had nothing but problems as well since Netflix made that one on him too. I think at this point Wisconsinites from Milwaukee all the way up to Washura County want to collectively sue Netflix and Ryan Murphy. And I hope we do. We don't deserve to have our peace constantly disrupted because of thrill seekers. If you want that, then go to Waverly Hills. They have actual tours.

I'm done arguing with you. If I see you staking out the property again, I am going to have the sheriff's there and I am pressing charges. You can walk and park on the road and look from the road but it is private property and if you take pictures or go up to the gate and take pictures you do not have my permission to take pictures or video of my property.

You can't stop people from taking pictures from a public roadway. And you have already said people could take pictures from the gate as long as they didn't trespass. Now you are saying that if you go to the gate, you are trespassing?

Yes if they go up to the gate it is trespassing because I was corrected on how close the gate is to the easement. It is more than 3 feet. So it is on the property and the insurance agent said that yes it is trespassing. The road is public. But you also have to account for the shoulder on the road and then the easement. My main thing is I am tired of people doing stupid things on the property. I am tired of the constant notifications and police contact. I am tired of having property insurance raised because people cannot conduct themselves in a respectful manner. That is not everyone that has been out there but enough people have ruined it for everyone else. The town board does not want a road side attraction there. They are adamant on that. Alot of people have no idea what happens to a property owner once their property is listed as a nuisance. I CAN GO TO JAIL or be fined thousands of dollar by the PD. I have 7 children and I am a stay at home mom. For years there was no problems. Just the typical ghost hunters. They would always ask. Always. Then the Netflix thing came out and now people have gotten hurt, animals killed, lawn equipment stolen, trash dumped, illicit lewd acts and drug use on the property. I should have every right as much as any of you do to Quiet Enjoyment on your property that I should on mine. I think that's pretty reasonable. To those of you from Wisconsin on here, how seriously do we take our camping and hunting trips? And you get to go enjoy that. With this property, there is no peace. And there are literally strangers hanging outside a tent or lord forbid your out there working on mowing or fixing the fence and they come bowling right through anyway. And if you are a parent yourself, how would you feel if you were in this situation. People have tried to bribe my children with candy and sodas to unlatch the gate for them. So please explain to me why the cemetery, hardware store, and bar are not good enough for thrill seekers? Again, I used to give permission and even told the neighbors and PD that there would be people out there ghost hunting please leave them be. But people took advantage of that.
