|  | | | Just after I joined the Cave Clan and shortly after my parent's found out (I was living with them at the time) I came home after doing a very wet/muddy drain, I came around the back and decided to put my wet pants on the clothes line before I went in the house. By pure coincidence when I walked in the back door covered in mud with no pants on my Mum was standing in the hallway.
"So what exactly do you do with these Cave Clan people?"

Me: "Well i'm not taking you unless you can remain calm, quiet, and make sure to wear proper footwear and breathing protection."
Them: "I'll wear Converse and a bandanna over my mouth."

Hey, I explore in converse (and a respirator) 
The Viaduct runs through the Callowhill Loft District, which is overrun with hipsters. This is just another one of those things a hipster would probably do.

"Isn't that, like, haunted?"
No.

No. No you haven't. Ghosts.Are.Not.Real.

No. I'm an atheist.

Then I'm dead, boom, instantly. But I won't fall if I watch where I put my hands. What if I go hit by a bus tomorrow? Way more likely to happen.

If you fall and die, your ghost will haunt the place for the rest of eternity. That's what.

Lots of people think I do this for ghostlulz. I do believe in ghosts and have had numerous encounters with them, but as far as I know, none while I'm exploring. You're as likely to encounter a spirit in your living room as you are in some random empty building. If I did this to find ghosts I'd either come up incredibly disappointed every time or I'd be like those douchebags on cable TV who think every creaking floorboard is a demon out to shank them.
I took a photo once and had at least SEVEN people swear up and down that they saw a ghost in the corner. It looked like it to me too, so I zoomed all the way in on my computer and lightened the crap out of it. What looked like a very convincing 1920s gangster wearing a fedora and holding a pistol was actually just some pieces of duct tape hanging off the wall. I never told them.

Are you ok, you aren't laying in a sanatarium with a broken leg somewhere are you? (when I didn't show up to work the day after a UE)
You what?? Why would you want to do that?

The last one is my favorite, I tell them that if they aren't excited about it then they shouldn't come anyway...plus what am I some tour guide, getting a list together to take some scared little surface dwellers into the unknown?!

besides hoboporn, i don't understand what in an abandoned house could get a person horny... and i mean, even the hoboporn is gross enough to look away from.

The lighting? The amazing, musty smell of decay and the earth overtaking something man-made? The taboo of knowing you're not only doing something you shouldn't be, but in a place you're never meant to be in to begin with? The large, vast emptiness that echoes every little sound back to you...

<Reply # 51 on 4/3/2011 9:57 PM >
| | | | Mr_Fiend and I were caught coming out of a manhole one time by Tulsa's Finest.
We had parked behind an abandoned building and they had blocked the car off. We came out of the manhole, near the car, and there were cops everywhere as well as the building owners.
When we walked up to them they seriously asked us, "You guys been stealing air conditioners?" as we approached them with nothing more than a backpack each, drenched.

Don't get me wrong, exploring incites so many different feelings for me as well, but i'm not about to get naked and sprawl out and indulge my body inside a dirty, moldy, rusty building anytime soon.
maybe if i were a guy it wouldn't be as gross, but still. i'd imagine the shame of being walked in on by a hobo, scrapper, or fellow urbexer while jerkin' it would be pretty unbearable.

| | | | I hear this quite a bit from other photographers
"I love the places you shoot. I'm always looking for cool places like that, can you take me with you some time?"
Really?
Kinda makes me wonder how hard do you ACTUALLY look?
How come you can't seem to find anywhere to shoot but I can??
Needless to say I'm yet to take a non exploring photog out with me.

Abandoned buildings are a special kind of porn for me. Do the really awesome ones get me all hot and bothered, yes. Does it make me want to lock my bedroom door and diddle myself, no. It's hard to explain.

Very true, "always looking" yet I can trip on an abandoned house going out my back door (and that's not even a figure of speech, I could spit out my window and hit four abandoned houses if the wind is in my favor) and no one else can? I call shenanigans. Or laziness. Or lack of genuine enthusiasm for the pasttime.
