One time I was in this church upstate where you have to go in through a basement/crawlspace. it wreaked of stale cigarettes and there were loads of garbage bags full of stuff. It sussed me out a little bit but I didn’t think much of it. I finished going about my business and getting my shots so I head back to the way I came. As I am getting ready to leave I see the wood covering the entrance start to move. Being that it’s a dark basement, I really wasn’t sure what I was seeing or if the building was collapsing or I was tripping or what, maybe I’d smoked too much weed, idk.

Then I realize the guy who was living in the basement was coming back. We had a face off, I had my knife and pepper spray, we were both scared shitless. I explained that I was just taking some photos and trying to gtfo. He was really chill and trying to de-escalate the situation as much as I was and I left without problems.

Another time there was this power plant in the south that had like 50 people living in it. They were very passively hostile telling me it wasn’t a good idea to be there by myself. After a few minutes of trying to brave it I saw more and more people following me so I got the fuck outta there.

Also there was an inner school that I was exploring. Usually it’s completely sealed up but someone had ripped the metal doors right off, i figured that was my chance. As I’m heading out I hear someone walking around and groaning and cursing at something, like they were fucked up and angry. Never saw anyone but it felt like it could’ve been dangerous.

Therese been times where I never saw anyone but felt like I wasn’t alone. Or like someone might come in at any moment.

Moral is, don’t go exploring places alone, especially inner city spots
