This episode compares to that of the St. Agnes one, more of head games than paranormal investigation. Only a couple good parts in the show.
History
In the late 1700's, a small colonial village was nearly wiped off the map by one of the largest recorded storms of the 18th century. For the next 170 years, this area remained undeveloped marshland. Local historians and archaeologists had excavated the site, finding various tools, iron kettles and jewelry, in addition to a gravesite where a number of the original settlers were buried near the colonists' church. In 1953, an industrial developer purchased the land with plans to build a state-of-the-art cement manufacturing facility. While excavating the land during early construction, workers unearthed several caskets. It was discovered that the cement factory was being built directly on top of the colonial town's cemetery. With much money already invested, the developer concealed this historical discovery and continued with construction. This proved to be an unwise decision. The land soon became known as "cursed earth," haunted by the ghosts of ancient souls who--some say--have caused a record number of deaths and accidents over the 29 years of the factory's operation. Eventually various electrical problems (lights mysteriously turning on and off, machinery suddenly becoming active) led to a policy where no one was allowed to close down the factory without others present. The company's former accountant reported that in addition to hearing strange voices in the darkness and encountering "cold spots," she watched in horror as the window in her office became fogged with condensation, revealing the words, "You are going to die, bitch" written on the windowpane. The facility was also invaded by waves of unwelcome creatures. Huge, roving nests of cockroaches, spiders and other insects appeared in strange areas. Rats and snakes scurried and slithered in from the fields, causing many workers to quit and find work elsewhere. Many rumors claimed that it was the forces of nature themselves that had become enraged by the presence of the factory. In 1987, the plant finally closed for good with the company unable to hire enough workers willing to enter the facility and no buyers willing to purchase the cursed property. The facility has remained closed ever since.
