so yea my story takes place in a house that sounds pretty similar to that. well actually its these 3 houses next to each other that are boarded up and falling apart and weird as shit. so yea 2 of my buddies and i figured it was the perfect place to shoot a horror movie (were in college for film).
so after school (senior year of high school at the time), we decide we would walk around the buildings, go inside, check it out see if it would be good. We bring a crowbar and flashlight. so we break into the first 2, real creepy blah blah blah im not gonna go into real detail just cuz most of u prolly dont feel like reading. the worst part was we just kept getting this feeling someone else would be around every corner and that like we wernt alone or sumthin the usual creepy feeling.
we go up the the 3rd and final house. my friend takes one swing with the crowbar at the backdoor, and, what do ya know, a cop car rolls up! because we wernt really doing much wrong, we were just looking around to film a movie, we figured we wouldnt have much of a problem, so we didnt run or anything.
the cop gets out and yells drop your weapon! haha fuckin ridiculous we were like wuhhh?? (kinda forgot the crowbar was a weapon) he like runs over to us, shoves our faces against the hood of his car (like legit like u see in the movies lol it hurt), empties our pockets (just had phones and wallets i think he was lookin for weed) and sticks us in handcuffs, then puts us in the car. those handcuffs hurt bad with the 3 of us squished in the back seat.
we roll out to the main road, and the cop points to a car right outside the place and goes thats ur car right? and it wasnt im like uhhh no i parked down the road.... (just added to the creepyness of earlier cuz that meant somebody else was in ther!) so yea he called some other cop to tow my car ($100, fuckin bullshit).
he flipped on his sirens and bombed down to the station as if we were terrorists lol and on the way we asked what the hell we were getting charged for, since we still have no idea whats going on, and he goes trespassing and attempted burglary! wtf! how can you steal from an abandoned house?? hahaha anyway we get to the station and they lock us to the most uncomfortable bench ever in some interrogation room. we sit there for like 30 mins not knowing why or whats happening lol but then they come get us and bring us to some office, where they conveniently have yet another uncomfortable bench, which we of course are locked to. they finger print us, take the pictures, do the whole deal, meanwhile we keep tryin to tell these fuckers the story and how this is all bullshit and they wont listen to any of it! they tell us how attempted burglary is a misdemeanor and that we were gonna go to the county jail that night and it was a friday and u cant bail out on weekends or sumthin so we were gonna be ther all weekend....
then finally a stroke of luck. my school cop (yes, people in my town are fuckin crazy and demand that we have a school cop) walks in just to see whats goin down and he looks at us and goes what the hell are you kids doin here?? (he knows us from school and knows were good kids in like honors classes and stuff) so we tell him our story and he talks to the cop who arrested us and tries to get him to drop the charges. apparently once they book you, they cant drop, only change the charges, so they settle on something i dont even know what i think it was trespassing and some other little thing. so they let us out but we still had to go to court and shit
now here is the worst part on my opinion: each of us had to get a separate lawyer, 1,500 EACH. gayest shit ever. so we go to court and the judge gives us 6 months probation and 24 hrs community service, and then after the 6 months our record would be wiped clean. so that wasnt too bad, we got to do the community service together so it defly coulda been worse.
so yea thats my scary story haha we never went back to film but we did try making a horror movie its not that scary but its cool if anyone wants to watch:
