Legend Trip

Growing up in Iowa we would always hear of different places that were haunted.  Back in the midwest there are dozens of abandoned buildings for which we would challenge each other to break into and sleep for the night without a flashlight.  There was one place that no one would go into, the old run down insane asylum. This was a big building the size of a hotel out in the middle of nowhere surrounded by big brick walls.  I first heard of this location from my best friend Kevin Wailes.  With no one going in to the building and me just hearing of it at the time, everyone decided it was my turn to go in.  I really didn't think anything of it at the time because I had never heard of the horror stories.  As I proceeded to climb under the front gates I had a really bad feeling.  I got to the front gates and could not go in. It was probably because of the many movies I had seen that made places similar to this one look so evil.  I couldn't go in so I turned back.  I didn't want to be made fun of so I told them the doors were locked.  How would they know any better?  I mean I had gone under the gates which no one else that was friends with me had ever done.  All I know is that people have claimed that the place was haunted and those kids that lived near by would say they would hear screams in the middle of the night coming from this big abandoned building.  Whether it is true or not I do no know.  All I know are the feelings I got when I went under that gate.
