This cemetery is the home of the "Lantern Man", a cloaked figure often seen here at night, holding a lantern, walking among the tombstones. WARNING: do not visit this cemetery at night ...
the abandoned Monson state	its an old run down insane asylum, back in its days of operation many people were tortured...some even killed. when you go up there is a very eerie sensation and when standing outside of the buildings you can hear doors shutting, floors creaking and many other things that make it seem like the building is still in use.
