Points of Interest[]
- Recovery House Youth Shelter
- The Recovery House Youth Shelter was a halfway house located in Central City, Ohio. It catered to helping troubled teens battling substance abuse, domestic violence and psychological struggles. A man named Kelly operated as a case worker administering new beneficiaries to the center. A man known only as "Doc" worked as a psychologist, specializing in dream therapy. A woman named Maggie Burroughs worked there as a youth counselor. Some of the youth center's charges included a teenager named Spencer, who was admitted by his father for blowing up his car; another boy named Carlos, who was deaf in one ear - apparently the victim of family abuse. Tracy Swan was a blonde-haired woman with intense anger issues, possibly stemming from sexual assault believed to have been committed by her father. A boy from nearby Springwood known only as "John Doe" was admitted to the youth shelter after complaining of amnesia and the refusal to sleep - allegedly caused by being tormented by a demonic dream entity known as Fred Krueger. Even counselor Maggie Burroughs had some unresolved issues from her past that she had been trying to work out. [1]
