Yikes...sounds like people you don't want to mess with. But you do have to respect their request on noone coming around.

These trespassers make us look bad in the process making getting good hunts harder everyday. People think we are all crackpots because of the the actions of a few morons.

Yea I know, some people don't realize its nothing to play around with. They have to have respect for property and it doesn't look good for people to think they are inestigating a place and they are goofing off and running around or acting crazy, no one will take them seriously.

Our first rule is to respect the property owner and his, her, their wishes. That is why we RARELY have trouble. I am not going to allow any of my organization to go running off half-cocked and get themselves, or someone else hurt, arrested, or worse, killed. If you don't respect others, don't expect any respect yourself!

The picture above of the Edwards House on Edwards/Payne Rd. is from the book TRIAD HAUNTINGS by Burt Calloway and Jennifer FitzSimmons. I have submitted a pic of the Lawson cabin to the gallery too. If, after looking at these two pics, the notion that they are one and the same isn't dispelled, I don't know what will!

Thanks Michael! I knew it was a paranormal book related to NC; but honestly, books are stacked all over the house, and I'm too dang lazy to dig through them to figure out which one it came from, lol!!

The same pic, along with one of the LAWSON cabin, are now in the gallery. You can find the link in my recent post in the Payne Road thread.

Thanks Micheal! Seeing them side by side makes the comparison so much easier!

Hi angel! You have to be on the front page of the site. Go into Hunts. Scroll down, and you will come to it. The pics are actually IN the Payne rd. thread now.

My aunt Sylvia owned the Lawson property before selling it late last year in order to move closer to her grandchildren. She and my uncle were responsible for tearing down the old cabin-- they hated to do it, and wanted to keep it for the historical value, but they were afraid that trespassers would get hurt and then try to sue them. (their lawyer cited some other places where this had happened) They did breed horses, and the stables and house they built are very expensive, as well as the horses. Sylvia decided enough was enough after catching some kids inside the barn antagonizing her animals. They could have hurt the horses and even burned down the barn. I have agree when I say that the new owners are not very receptive to "ghost hunters" or teenagers looking for a thrill, so think twice about going towards the house. The grave site however, is another story. It is private, but no one will say anything as long as you go during the day and are respectful. Warning: it is a dirt road that surrounds the graveyard, and it gets really muddy when it rains, so your car will stick. It is rough terrain when dry as well. I grew up in Rural Hall my entire life, and lived with my grandparents, so I heard plenty of stories about Payne Rd. The electric fence that everyone seems so eager to get behind is a private property community, and a Forsyth County sheriffs officer lives there. He is one of the nicest people I have ever met, but he does know how to use a gun and will arrest you if he catches you on his property. I have had creepy experiences there, but the scariest was running upon a group trying to perform a pagan ritual. They were not happy to see us and we were happy to leave quickly. I hope this is enlightening, and that everyone has fun hunting!!! Just remember to keep your facts straight!!!

Hi Gliterdawn! I'm really really really bummed that the cabin is gone, but I totally understand why your Aunt did that. People will sue over anything nowadays!!! And you have to protect yourself!! Not to mention all the trespassers that come on the property for a look. Thanks for posting this information about your Aunt and the Cabin. I'm curious if you or your aunt have any pictures of it? Thanks!! ps..I don't know if you'd be interested at all, but just FYI, there is a really good forum that is solely about the Lawson Tragedy at www.bodproductions.com
