SAN BRUNO
Stoneham Asylum Haunted House - In the year 1612, times were quite different. People who believed in mysticism and were open minded were often feared and sometimes accused of witchery. To be accused of witchery in the year 1612 meant an untimely death. A death for which no mortal or witch could possibly survive. Or could the spirit of an immortal really ever relinquish life within? Could the spirit survive the centuries and come back to life in the shell of yet another mortal, or shall we say immortal? Let Stoneham Asylum take you to a world unknown. Meet Mary, a poor soul who came to Stoneham Asylum for the Mentally Insane not so long ago. A place few enter and even fewer ever leave!
