0:18

0:21

0:24
kind of creepy
0:25
the urban legend the doll head trail
0:28
exactly go check it out
0:31
join us shall you is what we don't want
0:35
this is what we don't want out here so
0:38
you don't want new whole thing is use
0:43
only what you find in the park you know
0:45
some some dolls do show up here they got
0:48
age on them I'll leave them but if
0:49
they're like this he's never been out
0:51
that day in their life I'll come in on
0:52
Thursday and make sure the trails in
0:54
good shape for the weekend and then I'll
0:56
come in like Sunday or Monday and then
0:58
pick up what people may have left and I
1:01
have I have a partner he kind of does it
1:02
for me too what's the whole premise and
1:04
the idea behind behind the don't hurt
1:05
rail well I just started that I was
1:07
aboard of a self-employed carpenters so
1:10
didn't have anything to do and I read
1:12
about this Park in the paper about a
1:14
half mile back in the woods is a really
1:15
nice the water overlook and everything
1:17
most people just did that and walk turn
1:18
around walk back out the trail beyond
1:20
that was really narrow and foreboding
1:22
looking so I started going back there in
1:24
the back of the property started finding
1:25
trash it was a it was a brick works the
1:29
original was a brick work except about a
1:30
hundred years ago at some point the
1:31
fishing lakes closing in to the roast
1:33
it's one of the roasting when better
1:34
spruce are you dumping stuff back there
1:36
and also the people who are homesteading
1:37
back there they didn't have trash man
1:40
they just found a gully somewhere and
1:41
through those tough an appeal I found a
1:42
pivot all these Dahl his in Gulfport
1:44
Center so one day the doll heads Trail
1:48
trailhead got into my head and would not
1:51
leave or what year was that when it
1:52
began 2011 there were 2011 was when I
1:55
put the sign up at monkey
1:57
and formulating it for a month or two
1:59
before that have you seen the popularity
2:01
grow over the years you know like I said
2:03
nobody came out here you can pull donors
2:04
1819 cars or there would be that many
2:07
people out here on an entire Saturday
2:09
before well during the week they're
2:11
probably only five or six cars coming
2:13
out here the whole day I just didn't ask
2:15
permission I said we did us and if the
2:17
county don't like it I'll take it down
2:18
I'm starting to meet people in the
2:21
county Bobby have they embraced it had
2:23
they embrace the idea it's a green space
2:25
environmental manager of the cab kind of
2:26
thing
2:27
he fell in love with it so he could he
2:29
actually made the excess battery was
2:31
really kind of hard to find we sound
2:32
like you're usually at the stumbling
2:33
block down in here you got a little
2:35
somebody somebody added those my journal
2:37
Sanders down in there yes there's a
2:39
simple I'm Santa Claus
2:41
yeah there's a Santa Claus there too but
2:43
again it's you know it's not it's going
2:45
to the age on it so somebody came out
2:46
here stuff they're mean well but they
2:47
you know it's just it can't there has to
2:49
be a rule cleaning stuff in the river
2:51
there's a couple accesses to the river
2:53
down there you encourage grabbing
2:55
something off the river there's two or
2:56
three piles of debris in the park
2:58
they're out you have to find them I
3:00
haven't really touched them I'm kind of
3:01
waiting for somebody else to I don't
3:02
know I don't hog everything other people
3:04
to give you that's part of the creation
3:05
I don't leave it there for a while but
3:07
there's no house there's probably
3:08
pockets of trash here we haven't found
3:10
yet get back there it's like Jurassic
3:11
Park it's a really primitive except I
3:14
said of dinosaurs yes doll Boulder
3:18
playing in dolls is there you got there
3:20
except for the airplane flying over
3:22
maybe the train going by or hear the
3:23
traffic is that
3:25
know some cool ambience and what was
3:27
your name again is Joel Slayton Joel
3:29
good Aeneid see ya see you all right
3:32
we're gonna we're gonna mosey on check
3:34
it out thank you
3:35
thanks for talking to it as best I can
3:36
tell the easiest starting point would be
3:39
to find this parking lot so you need to
3:41
abide by the rules do not leave
3:43
valuables in your vehicle is always a
3:46
good rule of thumb but also remember no
3:49
golf practicing out here in the woods
3:53
there are lots of different avenues past
3:56
the trees that you can take however you
3:59
want to find this particular sign
4:01
designating d.h trail and head that
4:05
direction the one we're looking for does
4:07
not allow motor vehicles that's why
4:09
these stanchions are placed here and the
4:12
entire property closes at sunset lots of
4:17
interesting noises out here insects
4:19
animals think there's snakes out here
4:21
don't do snakes you're not a snake
4:24
fantastic fan at all so if we see one
4:26
we'll just right sounds good
4:29
what we can't make right we can make
4:32
better I'm noticing some people utilize
4:35
this for a bike path as well it is a
4:38
little bit of a ways we haven't quite
4:40
made it yet they have benches pretty one
4:42
that wants to rest and this little art
4:45
installation which looks like it used to
4:48
be some sort of newspaper stand wonder
4:51
if there's anything inside it oh yeah
4:55
there's some crayons crayons in there
4:59
since it is encouraged I'm going to
5:01
leave my mark it is now there for all
5:04
time or at least until the next rain
5:07
shower
5:09
you brought vinyl
5:12
that's gonna last a lot longer uh so
5:16
slider right there look look look
5:19
it's a daddy long leg as we approach
5:23
this wooden dock I have to wonder which
5:27
direction to go continue straight an
5:31
onward or veer to the left I have to
5:35
admit I'm getting some serious Camp
5:38
Crystal Lake vibes right about now Jason
5:45
are you out here safe to wager there's
5:49
probably quite a few alligators down
5:52
here in this murky swamp water yeah I
5:56
definitely don't want to go under this
5:59
bridge might also be where the chud's
6:03
live
6:05
who knew that all this was so close to
6:08
the airport you can hear the planes
6:10
flying over we have left the wooden
6:14
bridge left the concrete and now about
6:18
the Traverse down a dirt path this
6:21
states to keep an eye out for the
6:24
fishing bobbers that's how we know where
6:27
the d-h trail continues not a big fan of
6:32
itchy inducing substances so keep an eye
6:37
out for poison ivy is that might be some
6:40
whoa I just rubbed my arm against that
6:43
did I is that poison ivy
6:45
we was it leaves of three let it be
6:49
leave the board
6:52
that's three it's almost as if the
6:57
foliage is engulfing the walkway it's
7:00
like kind of crawling in on us any
7:04
appropriate edition pieces from outside
7:06
the park rude content etc will be
7:10
collected and disposed of a few pieces
7:13
of a flower pot some riding on it just
7:18
tearing here on an old foundation
7:20
possibly a homestead at one point look
7:24
at this cute little guy it's a ladybug
7:27
just hanging out there in the root
7:30
system of that tree I mean a ladybug can
7:33
be can be a male right one for me one
7:37
for my homie the arrows pointing this
7:40
direction and I'm noticing instead of
7:43
dirt they have placed this gravel this
7:47
red gravel has now become very prevalent
7:51
they're about to go up the hill event
7:53
this may or may not be a very deep
7:56
subject matter but I think this goes
7:59
down into the earth Oh
8:10
well-well-well Barbies honor well it's
8:10
happened it's finally happened the first
8:14
doll head has been found doing a little
8:19
computer work on Stoughton though laptop
8:24
I'm unfamiliar with this ground like
8:27
substance appears to be the top portion
8:31
of a mop head that somehow grown into
8:34
the soil next to these cone cobs and
8:39
this area reminds me of something out of
8:44
castaway oh never mind I thought you
8:48
were someone else this beer can I don't
8:51
even think that's the logo or the style
8:53
that blood Weiser uses anymore
8:55
that's probably an antique of some sort
8:57
very clever take on a pirate saying aye
9:00
aye aye aye captain
9:05
the real world's back that way we're now
9:07
heading away from the real world as if
9:12
this scooter is not disguised enough
9:15
down in there did you notice the doll
9:18
arm dangling from it yeah it's a
9:24
dismembered arm if this thing's head
9:28
spins around 360 I probably I might have
9:32
to hightail it just just saying mr.
9:36
soccer ball just chilling down here
9:38
amongst the weeds in the Georgia
9:41
humidity I hope that's not a tooth
9:44
fragment next to Don Kings actual hair
9:52
cylinder full of something interesting
9:55
tucked away down in there come on
9:59
basketball stop your stop your boozing
10:01
please keep it kid-friendly in the
10:04
content and construction no broken glass
10:07
or dangerous items and also keep in mind
10:11
that litter makes the angels cry
10:15
whoa this one so far I think this one is
10:17
probably the biggest nightmare fuel item
10:22
that I've stumbled across oh my goodness
10:26
my childhood is now flashing back to me
10:30
suddenly I'm just craving pizza a normal
10:35
eye ball and a bobber eyeball he's
10:41
rocking out rocking out he's a washed-up
10:45
rocker with a bone to pick very clever
10:50
what the heck are you do and never make
10:52
eye contact with a woodland dinosaur
11:03
pull away pull away I know you might
11:03
think it's gonna be dangerous or
11:04
difficult to make your way through this
11:07
treacherous terrain unless you have a
11:09
tank if you have a tank you're good to
11:13
go
11:13
entering what is known as the trail of
11:16
tires for a good reason because there
11:20
are tires everywhere through here on
11:23
this big wheel on this part of a
11:26
skateboard
11:49
way up there speed racer' as seen here
11:49
but if he goes too fast you might want
11:53
to alert the authorities
11:56
just call 9-1-1 or just take away as gas
12:00
tanks these have been attacked by cobs
12:03
just cobwebs they're being attacked by
12:06
cobs what in the name of that foul has
12:11
been he's headless shrek wants you out
12:16
of his swamp get out of his swamp

12:36
sats at this now overlook almost
12:42
depicting characters of some sort has
12:44

12:52
out here yet my what my apologies I
12:55
didn't realize this was this was makeout
12:57
points
13:11
the sign is placed here in memory and in
13:11
spirit of all these people and as we
13:15
turn away you can see this fallen tree
13:17
also has quite a few bricks laid
13:22
accordingly across the top Oh
13:33
said come be a motivational wall of
13:33
sorts find yourself by looking at
13:34
yourself death is only the beginning
13:38
don't forget to stop and smell the roses
13:40
it's much much better than poop I know
13:44
it's been stated that this area was not
13:47
created with creepiness in mind but it's
13:51
really hard not to notice how how unique
13:54
and let's be honest how creepy it kind
13:58
of is not the angle I normally watch
14:00
television from but it works nonetheless
14:04
it it works sing us a song or the piano
14:07
man sing us a song tonight because we're
14:13
all in a mood for a melody you got us a
14:19
lead all right you see a lot of these
14:22
pop-up libraries and inner cities never
14:25
out here amongst the trees
14:29
I wonder what if there's books in here
14:39
oh yeah take a book leave a book I'm
14:39
certain this record player has been out
14:41
here for quite some time however a new
14:43
edition paying their respects to Aretha
14:47
Franklin has been written atop the
14:50
record itself
15:03
ooh that's yeah that's uh yeah you know
15:03

17:59
yeah please just don't bring anything
18:01
from the outside because if anybody can
18:04
bring anything the trail has no meaning
18:06
was the catch-all exactly I wanted to
18:09
get rid of their creepy stuff right
18:11
cleaning out their closets and their
18:12
drawers bringing it down here do you
18:15
like the element of the creepiness about
18:17
it or is that something you weren't
18:18
going for that just turn into first I
18:22
started reading about brick works in the
18:25
sound a lot of brick works in the South
18:26
use convict leasing which is you know a
18:29
book about how slavery by another name
18:30
they basically just look good inmates
18:32
and you're working with what when I
18:33
first saw this I just assumed they use
18:35
convict leasing out of here
18:36
so I originally it was like a creepy
18:39
vibe to it then a buddy of mine did the
18:41
research and they did not use combi much
18:43
these guys out here we're paying laborer
18:45
while English and all these other people
18:48
chattering British were using convict
18:50
leasing and actually Chattahoochee brick
18:52
in an effort to show that paid paid
18:55
brick works wouldn't work about all the
18:57
property around them and tried to
18:58
choking them out as hot and humid as it
19:01
is out here I'm very excited to see the
19:04
springs I cannot wait to see the Oh wham
19:10
wham wham Wham
