New here, just went to the Albino Farm

Post by subigo »

Not sure how I missed this site for so long. I've been caving for a while. However, I haven't really been into urban exploration... I hope to change that now that I have found some places to visit.

Little background... I used to go to SMSU, I was a Geology major, took the Speleology classes, got in Riverbluff cave soon after it was found... blah blah blah. Anyhoo, here are a few pics that I took out at the Albino Farm yesterday.

Welcome! Good pics. Is the first one black/white sepia toned or did you edit that way? That last pic is good too. Very nice shot.

Nice pics! I climbed up onto the roof of the building in your first picture. It was fun, but kind of rickety. I wouldn't recommend it. Did you climb the big castle turret there? That's the best part.

I've climbed the castle turret thing before, as soon as i got up there i seen light "swooping" through the trees all over. Kinda freaked me out at first until i noticed it was a big group of 16yr olds running throught the woods with their flash lights cause something "scared" them.

Dude... If that had been me, I seriously would've screamed at the top of my lungs like Sloth in Goonies and send them all packing.

Heh. If it'd been me, I would have gone after 'em. Make 'em think that something really WAS chasing them down, so they bawled Blair Witch-style.

Circle around between them and the road and light a black cat, and start screaming
"I'ma gonna shot dem bastards that done did my daughter!!!"



Or shoot a flare gun into the air and scream, "Intruders! Lock down the base! Dispose of all witnesses!!!" and then chase them with your flashlight.

Hahaha, sounds like we all need to get together one night and sit and wait for some virgins to these places or just anyone to come into these places and scare the living sh!t out of them. We just have to make sure we dont get shot by some dumb a$$ punk.

Only problem with that is the houses are only a few feet away from the farm now so some dumbass may call the cops instead.

Or... we could just wait with a bunch of fireworks and set them off when stupid children come by! Then we take off like there was no tomorrow! Even if the cops were called there's no way they could prove it was us in the middle of the night.

BTW I have a plan to by out the neighborhood on the old Springlawn land and turn it back into a farm... problem is I don't have the several millions it would cost to take on such a venture. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

just for clarification, there is NOTHING haunted at the albino farm,right? the times i've been there (my debate coach lives around those parts) it just seemed like a bunch of empty buildings.
