Every once in a while we get curious and will go into abandoned houses that are in the area of our rentals. There is one 3 houses down from where we are working right now, and we noticed the back door kicked in, so we figured we would have a look see. I have been in some scary blown out places before, this one was no different. Just totally trashed, at least 12 " of debris and , old clothes, on the floor, broken furniture scattered everywhere, busted windows, you get the picture.
I was making my way through the first floor, and watching my every step pretty carefully, and right next to a chair, by a window, I could see the barrell sticking out of a black plastic garbage bag. Barrell sawed off right down to a nub and the stock was chopped off and wrapped in friction tape. There were a few 12 guage slugs laying there as well. This sort of changed the mood of our little adventure. I went upstairs to look around, and a cat scared the bejesus out of me, and I left the place without further exporation. There was bad ju ju in there.
I have been working in this general neighborhood for almost 5 years now, and lets just say, that I have noticed some suspicious activity in the area, and have seen quite a bit of movement in the area of todays abonded house at certian times .
I am sort of in a tough spot on this one. I think I know who it belongs to , and they have been cool with us so far. If we make a report, I am a little leary they may know who stirred up the dust, and I am not so sure these people are the kind you want mad at you , on the other hand, we sort of consider this our stomping grounds and don't like this sort of funny buisness so close.
This is such a cool little neighborhood, and we plan on buying several more in the same general area.
What do ya think?
