Posted by IntrepEd Thanks guys. In my little town, a man just recently had a heart attack while driving and crashed through the wall of an abandoned house. The house turned out to have (roughly) 50,000 angry bees living inside it that made it impossible for anyone to rescue the driver. |
What kind of gypsy curse is that? |
One great source for finding locations is cops. |
Posted by YotaMan20 I'd also like to point out that farmers are not only protective of their land and property but that of others as well. If Bill the farmer sees you on dead farmer Joes land, he'll likely come have a chat with you. A farm house and barn may look abandoned, but a neighbor farmer won't usually let that kind of thing go to waste. Just be aware of your surroundings. |
Posted by Peptic Ulcer Darendor I agree with you! Asking cops can be incredibly risky and isn't a strategy for everyone. I've been in outside sales for almost 25 years and I'm extremely comfortable walking up to total strangers and trying to convince them to do what I want. It's not a skill everyone has but then again , you're not going to see me hiking 2 miles into a location, scaling a rope to take a photo on the edge of a building - not my skill set. Prior to discovering this site and realizing that this was actually a thing, most of my explores were permitted. The cop thing I've only been doing for a couple of years and so far the only bad thing that's happened was bad or no information. However, I have also developed some very good relationships with cops in West Texas and in Katy where I live. The cops know who I am, know my car and what I do. As a result, I have almost zero chance of getting arrested for trespassing as they know me and know I just want some cool photos. In fact I've been told which buildings NOT to go into because of dangers or that the place is watched and they have to arrest me if I'm caught. Social engineering isn't for everyone and trying it out on cops can be a high risk move. All cops are different, and all towns have their own vibe. It's up to each person to develop and determine their own skills and their own risk/reward paradigm. |
