Completed on August 11th, 1938 - Hollow Hill Psychiatric Hospital became the beating heart of the town of Graystone. In its prime, the facility provided hundreds of jobs for the surrounding residents. Due to its sheer scale and a wide variety of practices, it employed dozens of specialized doctors from around the world who eventually settled in Graystone permanently. The opportunity was wide open for residents to take up work in nursing and assistant positions, as well as grounds keeping, maintenance, and other various labor jobs.

The hospital stood out against other asylums due to its proprietary research and drug trials in its early stages. While providing the most cutting-edge services and procedures, it also conducted experimental drug trials that were relatively successful. This carried on into the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Hollow Hill's patient roster grew so vast during its outpatient operation that it simply could not keep up with the demand, and ended its outpatient care operations per Director Aldrich's orders. Former outpatients went without care as current inpatients became imprisoned in the facility. The hospital doubled down on research and experimentation.

After some time and much criticism about the lack of transparency, Hollow Hill closed its doors to the public. The hospital focused entirely on research and development, presumably using the remaining patients as subjects. It is unknown what was actually developed in the hospital's late years, and the pressure from the public and various government and health agencies was building.

Rumors spread amongst residents of Graystone about the practices at Hollow Hill. Its public image had begun to degrade rapidly.

To break the silence in 1989, the hospital announced the suicide of Director Aldrich, among many other members of the hospital staff. All the horror and tragedy that took place in the hospital have driven residents out of the area with no intention of turning back. Occupants fled to neighboring towns and cities to start life anew. Once town officials began to head for the hills, Graystone had no government to interfere with its downfall.
