What is the Village of the Damned? 4432g
Alton, Illinois is America's spookiest small town. It's not the locals that are scary. They don't eat people, dress weird, dance through fires or ride brooms. It's where the locals live, shop and hang out that has people running in terror. Most of the historic homes in Alton were built during the 19th Century. The people who live in them, both dead and alive, have many secrets and even darker pasts.

Spooky Stories From Illinois 6vq4b
Well, there is this place in a little town of Illinois called the Diversitec. It's about three or four minutes into the '70s. But one particular day they suddenly released all of the patients and they fled from the territory never to return. The buildings are still there, rotting and decaying away.
Personally, I haven't had the chance to explore around there yet, but a couple of my friends have. They described to me that certain rooms were observations.
