Location Description:

LeHunt is an old abandoned cement plant and town outside of Independence, now in ruins. Also onsite is an old cemetery. The ruins are said to be haunted by the ghost of a worker who died there. There is also evidence that people have gathered there to perform some sort of magic rituals.

History:
When Montgomery County was developing the oil and gas industry at the turn of the century, an area northwest of Independence was receiving some industrial attention. The portion of land known later as Le Hunt was beginning to boom as a new cement company, which had a capacity of producing 4,000 barrels of cement daily, was beginning to start its operations. Several hundred employees worked at the plant, and a small business district sprang up under the cloudy gray smoke belching from Le Hunt's smokestacks.
