I grew up 15 miles from Love Canal: a housing development built on a leaking toxic waste dump. You can still visit the area, and even virtually visit it with Google Street View. It's an eerie, eerie ghost town today, because you know it was abandoned due to poisons invisibly permeating the area. I saw the 2015 re-make of Poltergeist, and the premise of a home built on corrupted land was very relevant to me due to the very real specter of Love Canal.
