The complaint also targets “theft of material and immaterial documents by shooting at private property”. Me Soulard specified: “To be able to communicate on the document network, it is necessary to disclose violations. And this is clearly not the case. »
The owner, who wished to remain anonymous, was supportive: “My father was a Freemason. I don’t, but here we are in the ultimate fantasy. These two youtubers have found the perfect vein for selling sensationalism: Freemasonry, medical devices, bones…”
In a press release sent out on Dec. 13, the Tarbes prosecutor’s office indicated that the bones “could fit into an anatomical framework serving as an object of medical study”. The owner’s father, who is said to have “built this building stone by stone in the 1970s” was a doctor. And before resin, anatomical skeletons were made from human bones.
“Urban Legend”
“This skeleton, I have never seen it, convinced the owner. I can’t say he wasn’t there, but it was something I didn’t know.

No longer local youths trying to scare each other, but adults telling stories and falling into conspiracies. »

In the second video posted on December 11, the exploring duo managed to make their “terrible discovery”, and made it clear that we wanted to “shut their mouths”, while integrating advertisements for food products. “Other than me contacting them not to publish my property videos, who would want to silence them? asked the owner. “And I filed a complaint after this second video. »
“This was a fairly simple property offenses case,” concluded Me Tristan Soulard, who recalled that only prosecutors had the chance to try. “As for these so-called explorers, they will run the risk of possible punishments that will set precedents, including for those who practice exploration of abandoned places, no doubt illegally, but in a more honorable way. »
Since the video’s release, the venue has been visited “very regularly”. Degradation was observed on three occasions. “It is a dangerous place, under construction, supporting Me Soulard. If I’m not careful, if I’m a teenager, I could hurt myself. We do our best to avoid accidents and stop the bleeding. »
