legend says that there was once a mental institution in the woods of York County. It caught on fire, and many patients died while others scattered throughout the woods. It was said that the local search parties beat or shot several of the escaped inmates to death because they feared their reputation as madmen.

there are supposed to be seven actual gates that lead to the foundation of the burnt asylum.

It's located off of Toad Road, which isn't on any map. Some people say that's the name of the asylum's driveway. Others say its' a local nickname for Trout Run Road or Mary Street.At any rate, the hordes of teen ghost hunters have caused so much damage that the gates, fences and buildings have all been torn down by the current owners, save the first gate. Another problem is that no one can seem to verify that a mental institution was ever there.Many people believe it's just an old private residence. C'est la vie. The wrecking ball has sent another urban legend crashing down.
