     History
    According to local lore, the piggery was once owned by a farmer named "Mr. Allen." The state of New Jersey seized the man’s property through the process of eminent domain and began using it to supply foodstuffs for the hospital. But Allen, bitter at the government, often showed up at the farm, scornfully eyeing workers before he eventually went insane.
    Allen was committed to the hospital, and like several patients at the time, farmed the property he once owned. But he soon disappeared, and an unsolved and unexplained chain of crimes followed. Pigs were killed, their blood used to scrawl cryptic messages on the wall. According to some, a night watchman was murdered there, while others believe a worker was mysteriously mauled to death by pigs after falling in a pen.
    These events have been blamed on the vengeful farmer Allen, who was never located. Legend has it that Allen often visited the building at night, and his ghost still stares out from a hole in the wall over the fields he feels were taken from him unjustly. Of course, officials assure, there is no farmer Allen. A reporter’s check of the succession of deeds that comprised the hospital properties, some dating back to 1816, revealed no record of any owner with the first or last name of Allen. Local historians also said they know of no farmer named Allen ever owning a farm in the hospital area. What is perhaps not a coincidence is the slaughterhouse’s location on what was once Allen Road.
