![]() Feeling like eyes were on me again, I looked up-and there, on the 3rd floor of an apartment with no windows or doors installed yet was a single dog, just staring at me. Suddenly, every single dog around just went crazy barking. Then it happened…and I almost wet myself. I slowed down and tried to be as quiet as possible while listening for anything strange. I carefully looked up and around but I couldn’t hear or see anything, so I carried on walking. I was walking past one of the empty buildings when I suddenly felt like I was being watched. The streets were dead quiet and I could hear the teeniest, tiniest sounds, like a piece of newspaper rustling in the almost non-existent breeze. At about 2 am one night, I went out to go to the local gas station to grab some smokes. There were a lot of apartments and hotels around that were under construction-basically just shells, with no windows or doors installed yet.

When we turned to go back and realized we’d been slowly going downhill all along. When we got all the way there though, it turned out to be welded completely shut. We figured we had a pretty good idea as to where the pipe would come out, as there was another manhole on the other side of the compound in line with where the pipe was heading. A friend of mine and I had the bright idea to climb into one of the pipes that had an open manhole cover- a decision we would soon deeply regret. This was my second time there and I wanted to see more than I had last time. The lower levels of the main buildings were all flooded, which was super creepy, and it was pretty overgrown. I was exploring an old stormwater filtration plant once. ![]() Then we hightailed it out of there.Īnd that was the end of my urban exploring. I promptly leaped back out the window, jamming both my ankles on landing. I also realized I was unarmed and scrawny and alone and stupid. At some point, I heard someone in the distance whispering. I found evidence of squatters, substance use, something that looked like dried blood, and a very, very unconscious rat on the old desk in the room. After a cursory glance to find something stable to tie the rope to, I quickly realized I was in a really sketchy room. I climbed in, with the intention of securing a rope for her to use to climb. ![]() My friend was a former cheerleader and she lifted me up to the window. We decided to climb into the first-story window of the abandoned psychiatric facility in our city.
