This is a very creepy place.

[image deleted]

This is menglewood, made famous by the greatful dead though they misspelled it. I live close to it. It's an abandoned box factory that closed down when world war one ended. There are huge vats which were once filled with boiling chemicals used to treat lumber. In 1931 some kids discovered the vats filled with water and went for a swim. One of those kids drown so the state busted holes in the vats and drained them. Upon draining them, they discovered human remains no less than 33 people were found. It is believed that they were slaves who were boiled alive in the 1800s.

Look up to the right of your first picture, is that an "orb?" It's there in the trees. I have lots of pictures with orbs in them. Friends send me theirs too because they know I watch all the shows and knew a few investigators. I called this one TV show called "The Dead Files" to investigate this house, but you have to own your house and we don't own it. We just found someone else to do it. It was mind blowing! I really should start writing about that more.

@WeighedDown No, the sun wouldn't be like that. It's an orb...I'm sure that place is haunted.

@Peaches it looks like a reflection spot from the sun. I would call it fakey otherwise.

@kentex35 I saw it on the camera when I took the picture, it was caused by the sun

@WeighedDown No...it's an awareness that's out of the "norm."

@Peaches they attach to me, I have been scrached and all kinds of things. If you ever feel them on your back they are attacking most are calm, but some are angry and any of them can influence you emotions

@WeighedDown Yes, I've been scratched too! I have a story up with a picture of it. I may have taken the picture down now. I was also awaken at 3:am with a burn on my forearm that actually got blisters that burst open. I stayed up for hours until I could go back to sleep. I wrote a story about it. Chat later, I gotta log off now. Goood night!👻Sweet dreams, haha!💤

creepy but also so very tragic, for the countless people whose lives were deemed to be worthless and disposable

Peaches · F

@SW-User YES, so true!😢

Awful story, beautiful pictures. I'd still wanna explore it.

Damn. When I got to the part about the 33 dead bodies, I thought it was going to be some cool serial killer mystery that was accidentally discovered.

Where is Menglewood located?

That makes sense, the slave part.

Peaches · F

@WeighedDown Oh, I just asked where it was too.

WeighedDown · 36-40, M

@Peaches it's kinda lost to history because people who research it always think it's in Memphis, because a man wrote a song about working there and he was living in Memphis when the song was wrote but it's not close to Memphis at all

In Tennessee? Or Kentucky?
It's embarrassing to think at the end of the civil war Kentucky decided to succeed from the union. Wonder what the speaker said... Hmmm... I know,
"Shut up."

@kentex35 even after slave days black ppl were killed just for being black. The next tiny town over had a sign that said "n***** don't let the sun go down over your head in (town-name)" i seen a burning cross before I got my first pube

@WeighedDown there's a town called Greenville here in Texas Northeast of Dallas that has a large picture of a city celebration a few years back bragging, Greenville the city with the blackest dirt and the whitest people. This picture is at City Hall. You can't avoid it.
