Finding obvious signs of recent habitation.
Fucking weird/creepy Graffiti from like 20 years ago.
Satanic symbols written in blood in an asylum for insane people.
Finding animal limbs in odd places (this has happened on atleast 3 trips) almost always gives the chills. I've found a deer leg in ceiling rafters before :tinfoil:
Was exploring solo an old block , went to the top floor and there were bird and rat skeletons EVERYwhere. Was kind of unsettling. [editline]15th May 2013[/editline] also random cow skull in an abandoned school.
I should take the random deer skulls I have at my house and put them in abandoned buildings..
Not creepy but when the bird shit is like 2 foot deep it's so fucking disgusting
[QUOTE=>kjp;40501164]Holy crap, I would have pancied if that happened to me. What happened after that?[/QUOTE] Late reply, but i pretty much crawled out of the place, went home, and sat on facepunch the remainder of the [del]night[/del] morning.
[QUOTE=krten_2x 4b;40368488]I hate it when it goes deathly quiet. Makes me proper paranoid.[/QUOTE] I have no problem with it being deathly quiet. What I have a real problem with is a sudden loud noise nearby going off, like a falling paint bucket or a tile from a wall. Things like that [i]after[/i] it's been real quiet for a long time do I get a real itch to run. [editline]28th May 2013[/editline] I can remember a time when my mom worked for a non profit running in the oldest hospital in town. The floor above her was unrenovated and original, they had arched ceilings and single bulbs above the doors, so patients can call for nurses. I was on the floor below where her office was, and I heard what sounded like footsteps emanating from the pipes on the ceiling. I had my camera with me, so I decided to head upstairs and get some photos. The elevator said the floor was "NO ACCESS" and one would assume it wouldn't work. It did, and when it opens up it's like walking into Silent Hill. The first thing you notice is the walls are yellow, nothing looks like it's been touched in decades (and in reality it probably hasn't been.) So, in reality what we have here is an abandoned section of a really old hospital. The electricity worked, kinda. During parts of the day the lights were automatically on due to the wiring of the hospital. However, the lights are useless because most of them are so old that the plastic covering them have darkened so bad you get almost no light from them. You look up and it's this nasty glow from old halogens. The old bulbs above the doors were regular fixtures with nothing covering them. In the corners the old PA system was still there with the mesh circular speaker boxes. The doors all had a glass window that you could open into the rooms. The rooms themselves had boxes, old furniture, and random shit piled in them. Some rooms were clearly meant for children, due to the ornamentation or words screwed into the walls. One room in particular, which I never got access to, was an old [b]baby hospice[/b]. It contained the cribs that would be the last place a baby would ever breathe on this earth and the monitoring equipment was there as well. My mom didn't have the key, and couldn't convince the person who ran the hospital to let me in (or wouldn't). But that leaves just a few things, the bathroom, and the floor and walls themselves. When you walk out of the elevator and step into that hallway, you look at a wall that is literally falling apart. The upper section of the wall was painted brick or something. The lower section, was tile. The tiles themselves were yellowed from age and not being cleaned in decades, and also had red streaks in different patterns all across them. It was disgusting to look at up close, and I actually heard tiles fall while I was there. The ceiling was a perforated cork board looking material and was a wide shallow arch. The floor was almost the same color as the walls, but less red and darker. The rooms I was able to go into had old books that had no information, and you couldn't look through the windows, they were rose colored and were a weird waterstone pattern. There was also a public bathroom, which you could go into. There was a bathtub, so that the patients could get a nice wash. All sorts of rust stains on that, looked great. The toilets were vomit inducing with the horrendous reddish brown stain they had in them. Best part? There was a urinal in the back, with a string light bulb near it, which was the only light in the room apart from the ceiling. Why it was there, I haven't the faintest of fucking ideas. Lastly, it was hotter than hell itself, and muggier than the Everglades. The air was so thick you could almost choke on it. I promise I'm going to find and post the pictures I took. There's a panorama also that I made which gives you a good idea of what it was like. [editline]28th May 2013[/editline] Longer story than I thought, fuck!
Well this is usually only in old houses but personal belongings, stuff that you look at and realize at one point in time it belonged to someone. Gives me the chills, like family pictures, child toys, or letters and such.
Trying to sleep on sight can be pretty sketchy. What if a hobo finds me chilling and steals my shoes?
One time, I snuck into an abandoned school with a few friends. We got separated and I ended up losing them, so they decided to go outside and call me to say where to go. Eventually, i stumbled upon an old classroom in this labryinth of a school, and on the chalkboard "When the sound of silence subsides, they will swarm like seagulls along the ocean tides" fucking scratched into so deep i could fit my entire index finger in it. And a few moments later, Several lockers seem to be opening and closing in the hallway. I noped right out the fucking window, and ran all the way to the smoothie place they decided to go to. I was scared shitless, and I never told them why I looked like i saw a ghost. Oh, and when you find a picture of yourself as a baby, in a building you've never been in before. FUCKING DISTURBING.
My father used to go Urbexing all the time when he was a kid, he went to explore this old house that was built a little before the 1900's. It was a rather large, 3 Story house. It was dark outside and unfortunately, he was foolish enough to not bring a flashlight with him, so the only real light he had was from the moon. He told me the house probably was owned by a car dealer, because he found a bunch of car maintenace records, sales reciepts, ect. He started feeling cold breezes while exploring inside this strange house, but it was in the middle of summer, and there was no wind outside. Everything was fucking still and quiet, like any other night. So he decided it was time to go, and walked back outside along the road to his house. He looked back one last time, and there was a dimmed light emanating from the 2nd story bedroom, it resembled a lantern-type light held by a man. It slowly moved from one bedroom to the other. But that wasn't what scared the crap out of him, when he last went inside that house, he noticed that almost the entire 2nd story floor was destroyed. So for example, where the bedroom was, basically fell into where the kitchen was and there was no way to reach what was left of the 2nd or 3rd story level of the house. That man holding the light, or whatever the hell it was, was walking as if the floor was still intact. He never went back to that house again.
Every time you stare into a long hallway that's dark at the end or pretty much staring into some darkness, and your mind starts playing games with you. Start seeing things out the corners of your eyes and shit. And previous explorers who set up little bits of shit here and there to creep you out. I've walked into a room and seen all the chairs stacked up on a table like a ghost would stack them. It's more of a 'Wh- Oh. Hah.' moment but after shit starts adding up it get's to the 'Not cool man' part.
Spiders. Fuck those spiders. Scary as shit
I've never been Urbexing, but I hope to go sometime soon. I can imagine the kind of paranormal stuff that goes on. Sounds like fun!

Oh man I should start urbexing.. Is there a "rule book" for you guys?
[QUOTE=Roof;41039606]Oh man I should start urbexing.. Is there a "rule book" for you guys?[/QUOTE] Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but photographs always go with a friend
Don't THINK there's anything in my town, but when I go north to live in Sacramento, I'll give it a try. ('I'll still ask my friends if they know anything anyway)
And if you have no friends to go with (like me), always tell someone you trust where you are going and when you expect to be back.

It's always best to find out who owns the property before you bring your wire cutters and mag lights :v:

If it's on land, it's owned by either a private party or by the government. If caught you can get yourself a nasty fine. Seriously, I'm not shitting with you on that. Mines can be especially dangerous so be careful.

I went to a mine with a friend once and my friend tripped and broke his left clavicle, so always be warned with that.
A few days ago me and a friend went back to the same school I spoke of in an earlier post, however we didn't go inside. Someone closed all of the windows, locked all of the doors, and put the keys in a drain you can't get to. We climbed up on the roof and found a broken window, but as we were about to slide inside, we hear footsteps inside. Not like, casually walking footsteps. Footsteps as if someone was being chased. There had to be at least 5 people chasing some poor fuck. To this day, I wonder if theres a cult or some shit in the basement. We still haven't found a way down there, and every time he goes near the stairs to the basement (that are blocked off) He starts getting weird and if you make even a sound he pretty much pisses himself and jerks around like the exorcist or some shit. Also, climbing up pipes is a lot harder than you think, especially when the pipe isn't attached to the building, is really small, and begins to tilt away from the building as you climb it. Had to kick off the pipe and claw like a fucking cat to get up there. Getting back down was a lot easier. Woo, adventure
This thread might as well be creepy experiences in general, that seems to bring up a lot more content Reflecting on a recent trip I took, I didn't really notice how creepy this little shack actually was. [quote][IMG]http://skiingstuff.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/img_1263.jpg[/IMG][/quote] This was the old maintenance shack for a ski area near my house. While walking up the access road there was plenty of wildlife around and stuff, but when I got near this thing, the noise just kind of stopped. [quote][IMG]http://skiingstuff.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/img_1264.jpg[/IMG][/quote] This was as close as I got, the silence kind of creeped me out, as well as the skull on the wall, which was not there the last time I checked the place out, something just did not seem right about the place. After I had hiked back down from the top and I was passing the place back to my car, I noticed at least 5-6 vultures all circling the place :tinfoil: Nothing overly scary, but plenty of spooky feels
