| | | I'm new to the site but have done some exploring over the years. I'm in Euless, TX. I like cats and have too many [so if you or someone you know may want a kittie I have a few I'd like to find a good home for]. I've never had the presence of mind to take a camera [most explorations were very spontaneous] so I don't have any pictures yet. I actually found this site looking for info on the Eastern Star building in Arlington. I now know it is torn down...sad day. My 1st exploration was the house in Arlington referred to the Butcher's House [now burned to the grond but still a cool basement foundation]. It was probably about 1998 and a friend and I were driving to find a vet office for his sister. We drove by this big house with a For Sale sign out front really set back from the road on a hill. We turned around to go check it out as we were thinking about buying a house [back when the market was still awesome and anyone could get a ridiculous loan!]. We drove up the driveway and there was a car parked. While we were getting out 2 cute girls ran out to the parked car and sped down the driveway and sadly we never saw them again. We immediately knew that this was not a house to buy but wanted to check it out. Access was easy, as anyone who had been there knows. We toured teh entire house and when we were leaving we saw a small shack on teh back of the property. We off roaded a bit and it was about a 6'x6' room with a hole in the roof. What really caught our attention was a HUGE vulture sitting on the edge of the hole. While vultures are common in the area, that is the only one that I've seen that was that large. We thought, there must be something in that room to eat or he wouldn't be hanging out. So....like any good explorer, we went to take a look. There was no door on the room and we slowly made it steps closer as the vulture watched us. I stuck my head inside and it had the most horrible stench! Like death! It was absolutely disgusting! So with my shirt pulled over my face and holding my breath I stuck my head in the doorway again. It looked as if the room were used for the power breakers at some point decades ago. Looking up at the ceiling, it was made of a sheet of wood with a square hole cut out, I noticed that it looked soaked in blood. My friend wanted to boost me up so I could see what was rotting up there but I'm just not that adventurous. Either someone had put a LOT of dead animals there, teh vulture was using it as his pantry or someone stuffed dead bodies up there. No telling really.....I didn't look, but the blood soaking through made it look quite full so it could go either way. I went back to this house a few times over the years and even a couple times after the chared remains were removed. Another friend of mine's mom keeps all kinds of strange newspaper clippings from DFW. She had a clipping from a paper from the 70's [I believe] that said that the person that lived there was a butcher [hence the glass door for a front door and the basement meat locker] that killed his family and put them in the meat locker. I've read other rumors online throughout the years, too bad it's gone. So I wanted to check out the Eastern Star and I've wanted to for a long time. I couldn't remember what street it was on so I google Mapped with Street View until I found it. Then I found this site and it's been torn down and I drove by anyway [who ever believes what they read online!?]. It's definitely gone I was also thinking about checking out Elm Wood Sanitorium but I also read that it is gone. I'll have to start looking for some other new places. So....if anyone is planning any exploring in the Tarrant County area I'd love to tag along and check it out! It's been quite awhile

| | | Alright time to post Hello, I'm 'brad', I've been an addict for 1 year, i first found out about EU through the UrbanX explorers website, and have always been interested but never actually done it, borderline obsession with the pictures though, I've got a pretty basic set up going, and am now just looking for people to explore with, I dont like doing things alone and get extremely nervous when alone, but with another person am very relaxed, anyway, Maryville TN, if youre close by
| Apparently that DID just happen. And I AM proud of it |
