There was an asylum by my house in the '70s, but they tore it down because it was an eyesore and had a dark history of mistreating patients. There's a cemetery on the property now with hundreds of unnamed graves. In the early 2000s, Walmart bought the land to build a store. They excavated, but the day before they were set to start construction there was a huge landslide in the middle of the night that blocked the highway for days. If it had happened at rush hour, tons of people would have died. Ultimately it was deemed unsafe territory to build on, so it remains empty. I guess the people who died there didn't want to be chilling underneath an aisle 10 at Walmart.
