The structure above the cemetery is a large, low brick building that covers a huge cistern. You can hear the water dripping inside. Freaked me out many times as a child, we used to climb around the outside, there was some kind of walkway around it. Gives me the creeps just thinking about it.

Does anyone know what the structure above the cemetery is? I’ve heard it called Frankinstein’s house but it does not appear to be a house. It’s very spooky looking for sure.

Was wondering the directions to be able to take some decent pictures of the tower. Have lived in New Hampshire for a year now. Looked up at the side of the hill and noticed it when all the leafs were off the trees. If anyone could give me decent directions to find the place that would be highly appreciated. Like i said would love to have pictures of it. Thanks

I heard they don’t open it to the public anymore because people kept jumping off.
