i dont know how publicized it was, but i know that in NJ somewhere by west milford i think it is, there is a small town where all the people were murdered. they never tore the houses down and some ppl i know in the area have tried to camp there but freaked out too much and had to leave. just an fyi. if ya need more info i could try and find out.

I never heard anything about a town like that could you elaborate and tell what and when this happened?

I think I saw a web site on it and it tried to down play the whole thing, It made it sound like nothing serious happened there.

Ancora I believe is the location of this town...

Frames site, so no direct link sorry, but check the story archives and you'll see a link for Ancora Asylum and the Abandoned Village. There is some folklore that a psycho escaped from the hospital and killed about 70 people but there is nothing factual to back this up.
