We’ve had something very similar to this here in Ohio at a place called the Ravenna Arsenal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_Raven ... ing_Center
The Arsenal just like the TNT plant in West Virginia produced explosives during World War II and I believe even for some time after that. I would have to check into it, but I believe the acreage is still government owned and operated. I’ve heard people around here talk about a Mothman type creature there. I always find these stories interesting because I live only a couple miles away from where the Arsenal is located.
