The Ghost Story
Despite the building being razed, staff at Marshfield Scrap Company on the former asylum grounds still report ghostly occurrences. The most commonly seen spirit is a skinny teenage girl with long, straggly black hair who appears in windows and within the remaining tunnels. The land itself seems to hold the trauma of decades of institutional suffering.
