place. No one knows exactly why it closed. Apparently, there is a group
of Satanists who work up there. It is believed that when people do
sacrifices or something, bad energy is contained in the area. Anyway,
several people have gone up the hill and have told me that there is a
spot that has a bunch of rocks placed in a circle in the center is a
pile of animal bones, but when the people went back up to find that
place again, its always gone, and they will go up several times in
search of it. Anyway old OIT had a dorm two school buildings and a gym
that had a small swimming pool. There is one wall left, and a small
area that has three walls and a cement floor. They are maybe 50 feet
apart. Anyway, several people, credible witnesses say that they have
seen apparitions, sometimes a fog in those two areas. Also if you go at
night, you can hear sounds like people chanting, or footsteps if you
sit in car with the lights off right next to those two buildings. Also
just up the road from old OIT there is a hill, or at least what appears
to be one. It’s a small vortex. One of the urban legends is that an old
Indian was hung from a tree on that hill right next to the road. If you
park under the tree, he will push you up the hill. But there are so
many of those stories in various states that it is doubtful. - April 2007 Update - It's fenced in. There are a series
of large poles, possibly 30 feet high, with three giant tires hanging
from them. No one knows for sure how they got the tires up there.
Contrary to the page's entry, there are two buildings there. One is in
okay condition, and there appears to be bloodstains on the side of it.
On the other side of the place, there is a building in shambles, and
this is what makes the place truly scary. Loud bangs are also reported.

2008 Update was torn down a little over 3 years ago.
Wolf Creek - Wolf
Creek Inn - Owner, workers and guests at
this lovely Victorian inn built in the late 1800's have all seen the
apparition of a vampire creature with blood dripping from his mouth.
And passing motorists on the old country freeways have seen him as
well. One such story which made national news was when two hikers in
the area witnessed the vampire while hiking around the wolf creek area,
then later that night at the hotel they were bitten on the neck by the
creature when they were in bed and it left strange unidentifiable bite
marks on their neck.
Woodburn - Carl
Road - If you drive down Carl Road and
drive down until you see an orchard and get out of your car, you can
feel a strange presence. If you go into the orchard and walk a little
ways you'll hear leaves crunching behind you and when you look behind
you, you'll see a white shadowy figure walking from one tree to another
and then disappear. If you stay longer you can feel something pressing
against you.
