OLD CHEMICAL WAREHOUSE
 This
warehouse
has had several purposes over the years, but it was
originally a warehouse to temporarily store chemicals
and other toxic substances during construction of the
city. During an earthquake, several containers
were damaged, and began slowly leaking into cracks
into the foundation floor. Over a year passed
before the leaks were discovered. There was even
talk of the possibility of a subterranean pool of
chemicals under the buildings foundation. The
incident was hushed up by the company that owned the
building. The chemicals were removed, and the
floor of the warehouse was repaired, no warnings were
issued, in fact no government agencies were even
notified.
 The
building was sold and used as storage and business
space for several years. No one stayed for very
long, and the businesses that did operate from hear
failed, or the owners ended up getting sick.
Once they tried renting the warehouse out as living
space to a small commune of artists… this ended in
tragedy when one of the tenants apparently lost his
mind and killed everyone else in the building.
Since then the building has sat empty. And the
buildings surrounding it have had their own share of
hard luck.
(GM’s Only: No one knows it, but the chemical
spills in this building so many years ago are the real
reason so many people believe the
area to be unsettling, even haunted. Fumes from
the chemical soup under the building apparently seep
out through the soil in trace amounts. The area
doesn’t smell right. Animals avoid the place,
although there are insects in abundance and dead birds
can be found all over the area. If a pocket of
the fumes are encountered, a person will feel
disoriented, light headed, even hallucinations.)
