They have a conference center, a microbrewery, and three or four of their cookie-cutter "taverns" on premises, complete with their ordinary bar menus. Although "poor farm" does not equate to insane asylum on the "creep factor," I barely slept a wink all night the night I spent there. Our group universally ruled it out for all future meetings.

An old, abandoned mental hospital... does anyone else not see the obvious here??? There's no doubt in my mind that ONE of the mental patients (the one that won an insanity plea after killing all those families) is still living in that basement, lurking, salivating at the thought of 440 new households to terrorize...
