Spent a ton of time here in college over 20 yrs ago. There was a cow that got into a building, fell through a floor and died stuck hanging halfway through it. I have photos somewhere…

Yes, there were several deer when we went. That was the only one we caught on video.

The Army removed all the TNT at the end of WWII. Some structures were steam cleaned for 60 hours. Others were burned down because they were too contaminated.

Do you have to ask permission going there or it's for general public view??

When we were there, we saw another couple exploring plus a big family group on half a dozen ATV's. The place is huge. We went twice (walking) and Moses returned a third time on a mountain bike. Each visit was at least 5 miles of travel. We believe the property is part of the Keystone Opportunity Zone (KOZ) and owned by Greenwood Township. As always, Urbex is done at your own risk.

There is, in case you dont know very high rates of cancer today and hundreds of years to come due to contamination of water and earth, and air, etc.... It was necessary

The reason the cows were left in that area is it’s EXTREMELY radioactive and the cows were full of cancer. Even the fish in the ponds are full of cancer. They say that feral cows still roam the land because there became two different groups. It’s said that they apparently got all of the cows but because the one group was feral it’s said that cows still roam. The reason it’s pasture is because there are underground bunkers full of unstable TNT, and there not sure where they all are so no can build

Where would the radioactivity come from? TNT is not radioactive. The TNT was not stored in underground bunkers. The storage bunkers were above ground off of Lake Road and some have been converted to houses. The TNT is long gone.

Ha 😂That’s not true lol I live right by this , there’s no wild cows hasn’t been any cows there for many years lol and those that were up to ten years ago were for standard farming practices owned locally . The lakes are full of bass there’s tons of single headed two eyed -deer there too I shot two of them every year lol your listening to old wives tales. It wasn’t a uranium mine bro
