There's this big room right here. Just go in there. They're walls. It's the ceiling. Okay. Okay. So just be as quiet as you can because as soon as one flies, they're all gonna be like, let's get out. It's.
Should have taken a shot at him.
When he was flying.
It was a prisoner of war camp, by the way.
Really?
Yeah. For real?
Yeah. They had Italians out here, so. So yeah, it's like, you know, haunted.
And all that good stuff.
Really?
Yeah.
I have no idea where that went.
Okay, there's rabbits here.
Went up and all the way over to. You see those like chimney looking brick structures out there? This conveyor belt had like a furnace structure. Everything out here was. Yes, and. But the story is this guy fell on it right here and knocked himself and nobody noticed. And by the time they realized what had happened, he was already. He was already down the way. So they just like, they just let it keep going and they just like swept him off with brooms on the other side.
Yeah.
So I don't know how, how, you know, that's the story, but do they.
Say this place is haunted?
I say this place is haunted.
You do?
Yeah.
I filmed.
Really? Yeah.
Really stuck anyways too.
Dude, you know how much this fire brick is?
A fire brick is like two or three dollars a brick.
For real?
Yeah. You can make pizza out of this stuff.
This is all heavy metal, contaminated.
Let's go walk around for a. Yeah, let's go explore this place.
Okay.
I encourage everybody here to beat that.
What was this? This building looks like a reception desk here.
Looks like you probably had to come in here if you wanted.
There's a lot of circuit boards.
You had to. You had to sign out with Flo, the receptionist and the secretary. Guest pointed on a shot of some indoor birds.
Yeah.
Okay, let's go over into this building. My most compelling experience actually wasn't that it was right there where we parked. Right there where we parked.
Really?
And I had a. We were working on this car that we're about to see, this 59. It was like my high school project. You know, fix it up with my dad. And we were working on it and we were underneath it. We were on creepers. And we had called my mom to bring out some Taco Bell. And it had been about 15 or 20 minutes since we talked to her. And we just heard our quiet, you know, purr of a. Of a car. She had an 88 foot Volvo.
Right.
And we heard a car pulling up, her gravel crunching under the Tires. We don't even say anything. We just roll out from underneath the car, and we get up, and we're right next to the bay door, right? So it's just pulled in. The car dropped. And so we walk out to the edge of the bay door. As we're doing that, we hear a door close, like a car door close. And we walk outside, and there is nobody there. And that was. I mean, it was like. I mean, there's. No one will ever convince me that I did not hear everything. Every noise that a car makes.
That's pretty cool.
And there was no one there. And we called her, and she's like, I'm just leaving the house. You know.
That'S pretty cool.
But I looked at dad. This is the best part as I looked at dad, because I'd always heard from them. Every guy who's ever worked out here is like, this place is freaking hard, man. I don't come out here out, yada yada. And I looked at dad, and I was like. And he goes, hey, man, it's just the spooks.
Yeah, it is what it is.
Yeah.
Go for it.
I hit him.
It's here because that's where.
Look, here's all the feathers. Those are all feathers.
What was this?
Is that Bert? That's all ran down there?
Oh, that's just for safety.
Okay.
That's.
Where was that guy? Where was he the whole time?
Did he just fly out? He probably just came through that window.
You want to hit the. The savannah trees, and then we'll hit the. The yellow or the red brick building again.
Where?
Over there. I've never seen, like, I got an arrow knocked and everything, but it doesn't seem to matter. We can hit the red brick building again and then go out around the big or barn that we walk through, hit those trees, and walk our way back to the plum picket, which is always like, if you can't find rabbits anywhere else, they're always there.
Okay.
Yeah, Sounds good to me today.
Since I said that they want you there. Hey, everybody here knows what bow hunting is, right? We. We understand the challenge of it. So we're just out here having a good time.
Heck, yeah, dude.
Enjoying the day and enjoying the new. The old refinery.
Two pigeons.
Yeah.
So, yeah, you hit one, and I hit one.
All right.
We are not skunk.
So is this a Texas hill country?
That was close. I think I got that right over his back. Right there, Right there. Look what we got here.
Oh, man.
So these are like the herbs that they cook the orange there's different kinds. There's different colors, different shapes.
Like, so what they do when they broke, they.
I think they had to break them every time. Took everything separate inside of it or something like that. Just crack it with a hammer and.
Oh, Kind of like a boar.
Yeah.
You got a horn. Cool. I aim about 15 yards.
Yeah, that wind is kicking. Kicking the butt of the blue food.
If one of these ducks would sit still, like smoking. A ton of doves in these things.
I guess some of the bobcat and coyote population he was talking about. Do we not see anything?
If there was a glass bottle. There's one right there. This is my wrap. This actual glass. That is interesting. Look how that's bent. I'm gonna shoot this. You think there's ever been any crimes committed on this ground?
Why?
Are you about to commit the first?
No, but, like, what if this is some girl? Her body's out here somewhere.
That's terrible.
Morbid.
If I find a cool bottle, gonna keep it. But I'm gonna shoot some, too. Clorox, did you see those pigeons I shot at?
No.
Dude, that was close.
Oh, really?
Oh, they were within 20.
Hear me? I. And I thought I would get one because I shot right in them.
Dang it.
They were hauling butt.
Well, that's the first time I've not seen at least one rabbit.
