Is there any landmark/area of land/place that has a history of making people crazy?

I don’t know if any of you have read/seen ‘Wisconsin Death Trip,’ but something akin to that. Are there any cities or areas of land that have a historical record of people going insane or an unusually high rate of murders?

This is interesting, but what follows is as much as I have heard on the subject.

1. The Santa Cruz Mountains in California have long had the reputation for either making people crazy or drawing crazy people to them. I read somewhere that these mts were avoided at night time by tribes living in the area prior to European settlers, for bad medicine reasons. It is said that people who are in love or couples, will break up one month after having a picnic or romantic trist in the area. In the 1970s, this area was the murder capital of America. The Santa Cruz MTS is also home of the "Mystery Spot" which is a long story. Plenty of serial killers like Ed Kemper had a body count in the area. During the drought a few years ago, two skeletal remains of women were found near the Lexington Reservoir on HWY 17/880 at two separate times, and they were estimated to have been there for 15 years or so. Also, the Atascadero Mental Institution is located in the Santa Cruz Mts. This place is known for dangerous road hazards and car wrecks, as well as:

2. Pacheco Pass, HWY 152, in Gilroy, California south of San Jose near Los Banos, has had long bloody history of battles between tribes and Spanish soldiers and murders as well as paranormal events such as hauntings and visions by otherwise normal people. The tribal people had lived there for centuries prior to the Spanish, and even today, it is said to be a spiritual place; there is a Pow-Wow there every year, the best in the region in my view.

There have been one or two books on Pacheco Pass. Psychic Sylvia Browne said she had had a bad vision of murders while driving there at night. There have been hundreds of car wrecks in the area since the 1930s and earlier.

3. Power Plants: Studies have shown that mental illness, cancer, and other ailments occur when homes and business are built at or near a power center or plant. The residue electrrical output that floods the area, for lack of a better explanation, has been associated with physical or mental problems. One McDonald’s Restaurant in Santa Clara, California had power lines and was placed next to a power plant, resulting in a range to employee-related problems from mental stress to auto-immune and fertility problems. I think OSHA or the EPA did a study on this phenomena years ago.

Hope this helps.
