The abandoned insane asylum. Is it still there? You know the one by Arrowhead. People in High-school used to go there as a thrill. Kind of a rush. you know. Fill me in I have been away from MO for 14 yrs. now. and I'm like 'whoa' ...

phisherman · 12-09-2005, 01:57 PM

yeah, it's an old folks home...
you can find stuff about it on the web, it's functioned as either an old folks home (for the old fellows order)or an orphanage(sponsored by the oddfellows) all the time it was open

Doing scuba spelunking is way beyond my limit. Now you can die even if you just get lost for an hour.

You never go into a cave without a backup light. Preferably a candle.

Yeah, but then I'd be going around thinking, "If this flashlight dies and the candle blows out, so do I."

What if you got a back tatoo and brought a microwave oven and a generator......oh, nevermind.

Yes Oddfellows lodge-but the people in there were nuts. It was a very scary place, especially around back where it was pitch black and trashed. WE were parked behind there smoking one and this old man with a walker, in pajamas, comes out of nowhere and puts his face to the window. Scared the shit out of us. He had some kind of mental problem for sure. When we came back around, it was like Night of the Living Dead. Guys in Hospitol scrubs were trying to round them up. It was comical because they were slow and in pajamas, talking to themselves. It was surreal, especially on a good buzz.

Maybe I'd take a bunch of lightning bugs with me, or perhaps a jar containing one of those glowing deep-sea fish.

Sully · 12-09-2005, 02:07 PM

I don't remember at all.
Oh well.

Halfcan · 12-09-2005, 02:18 PM

Yep there is one on Crackyourneck road too. It has tracks you can fly over. I wouldn't recomend it-kids have been killed there. That used to be a cool park to party at-but now it is shut down.

Did you find your way out or are you still there?

I have one of these. Works really well. It's a dynamo/led flashlight from Dorcy.

Umm... care to elaborate on why you think Pittsburg, KS is one of the eeriest towns you ever stepped foot in? Pittsburg is the biggest city in southeast Kansas, it's a college town with a big university that continues to grow. I've lived here my whole life and still do, I would be curious to hear these stories you claim to have.

Either you don't get out much and haven't been to many towns outside the one you live in or you're just making stuff up.
