Blue Spring Tracks & Magnolia House

Amanda and Teresa decided to stay behind keep watch back at the car which really is helpful at times since often from my experiences sometimes you get more experiences waiting at the car then you do exploring.  Joy, John and myself headed on over to the giant bridge which went across the tracks. It was fairly high up so we had to figure a way to get to the tracks below that is when we climbed the guardrail and made our way down the steep grade and came across some soft sand which looked like a party spot for kids as beer bottles were under the bridge. 

We started walking the tracks and we noticed that it was apparent a tornado ripped through here as there were dozens of trees on each side of the tracks just twisted and on there sides. It had to be pretty wide as it it covered a pretty wide area from one tree line to the other. The one tree line was the border of Blue Springs where we just came from. 

About a half of mile down the tracks when the Bridge was out of site we heard some movement in the woods whatever it was shuffled its feet I thought to myself it was a deer since it was light footed. But something I heard moments later in another area was not so light footed. We noticed a very foul odor as we walked further down the tracks it smelled very rotten as if something died. I am not so sure that this was the smell of a dead animal but again I think we were being followed and smelled a Skunk Ape. 

I knew if we walked the tracks that whatever Amanda seen was heading the directions of them so perhaps whatever it was stayed along the tree line near the tracks.  We eventually came on out to a dirt road there was a garage along the tracks looked like a shop of some kind the lights were on. 

We started to walk the dirt road and we found a weight bench, piles of mattresses, fridges, and other things that you would see found in a house. Some of the junk was very old telling me that its been there from awhile and came out of an old house. We then took a trail off in the woods and came across a wrecked train engine without its wheels all rusted and twisted. Kind of odd since it sat fairly far away from the tracks. 

We hiked a little further and I noticed what looked like a foundation of some kind. I looked a little further and noticed a house of some sorts and was pretty excited. We then climbed over debris and through spider webs and noticed we had struck gold. There was a very old house boat next to a very old house perhaps it was more like a shack. We looked in the window there was a mattress inside then upon entering a kitchen sink, books, little wood end table etc. The doorway was very small and ceilings very low but it was apparent that whoever lived here once lived a very secluded simple life.

The doorway here felt very cold I know for a fact something was there with us at the time. The temperature change was major. All in all this area back here was very eerie I mean the brush was so thick it was growing all around the house and houseboat not much room to walk near. We then headed out after taking a few photos.

We walked up the dirt road and found a platform near the tracks and what appeared to be a concrete block house probably a power box for the train tracks perhaps to generate the switches. We also noticed another small metal shed beat up by bullet shots apparently someone was using it for target practice. 

We then started to head back down the tracks it was a long journey and the bridge was so far out of site. We walked for a little ways and there was a real bad bad feeling back here not like when we were heading down the tracks. But going back seemed more like we had something chasing us type of feeling. We walked fairly fast down the tracks and I stayed in back for most of the walk and a few times felt like something was following us.  Like I said a bad feeling but according to what I read about these tracks that this is a common feeling here so its possibly it was ghostly but I will not rule out the protector of the forest or another wards the skunk ape. Since his presence psychologically can frighten most creatures big or small.

We eventually made it to the bridge noticed a car coming down the road from the dirt road which is odd because there are no houses down that way. We returned to the car but they were not there. Talk about scary but I had a feeling they went to go use a bathroom or perhaps scoot out of there for a while so they would not look suspicious. I do not think my murder story appeased them to much before we left for the tracks lol 

We thought a few times they came back so John walked the road and a car went by then he turned around and John hid. I am sure it scared the person pretty good. But then again I would be more scared of a person who is driving a dirt road at that late of an hour driving on a dirt road where easily you could get stuck on due to the deep sand and mud. 

We then decided to do our 3rd investigation of the night which was the docks an area with some horror tales and also ran along Blue Springs just the opposite side. So again if anything was in them woods by now it knew we were here.
