Bizenghast

Bizenghast was once a thriving mill town. The remains of a thread mill are located just outside the town, south of the path towards the Mausoleum.

Bizenghast has a library, a general store/post office, a genealogical society (disbanded) and a town hall, but no police station. Any call for assistance is handled by police from the next city over, which is largely why Vincent has never been arrested for looting the abandoned houses in town.

There are 64 residents of Bizenghast.

The phone lines of Bizenghast are notoriously unreliable and often neglected, so very few residents have a phone. There is a public phone at the general store that works most of the time. Cell phones often do not work inside the town, only on the outskirts and on higher ground.

Most residents of Bizenghast are either retired, living on assistance or work in the nearby cities.

There is a mineral deposit underneath the northern half of the town that wreaks havoc on the accuracy of quartz watches.

There's only one abandoned house Vincent has never been able to get inside, because it was built on the edge of an enormous sinkhole, which later collapsed and took the entire house down with it. The house is now buried under three feet of earth, at the bottom of a 20-foot pit.
