![]() Hazzard established a " sanitarium" called Wilderness Heights, located in Olalla, Washington, where inpatients fasted for days, weeks, or months on a diet consisting of small amounts of tomato, asparagus juice, and occasionally orange juice. A fifth revised and amplified edition of Fasting for the Cure of Disease was published in 1927 under the title Scientific Fasting: The Ancient and Modern Key to Health. The first was Fasting for the Cure of Disease (1908), followed by Diet in Disease and Systemic Cleansing (1917). Over the course of her career, she wrote three books about what she claimed to be the science behind fasting and how it could cure diseases. Hazzard developed a fasting method that she claimed was a panacea for all manner of illnesses, ridding the body of toxins that caused imbalances in the body. According to her book The Science of Fasting, she studied under Edward Hooker Dewey, MD, a well-known proponent of fasting. Hazzard had no medical degree, but was licensed to practice medicine in the state of Washington through a loophole that grandfathered in some practitioners of alternative medicine without degrees. Linda Laura Hazzard was born Lynda Laura Burfield in Carver, Minnesota, one of the eight children of Susanna Neil (née Wakefield) and Montgomery Burfield. Hazzard died at 70 after subjecting herself to her treatment methods. She was released on parole after only serving two years and later, for unknown reasons, received a full pardon from Governor Ernest Lister in 1916. In 1911, Hazzard was found guilty of manslaughter in the state of Washington and was sentenced to two to 20 years of hard labor for killing at least 15 people for financial gain at a sanitarium she operated near Seattle in the early 20th century. Linda Laura Hazzard ( née Burfield Decem– June 24, 1938), nicknamed the " Starvation Doctor" was an American quack, swindler and convicted serial killer noted for her promotion of fasting, pummeling and hours-long enemas as treatments. Washington State Penitentiary, Walla Walla, Washington Montgomery and Susanna Neil (Wakefield) Burfield Health fraud through promotion of fasting treatments I’ve seen crap like this written just about everywhere I’ve been, so I wasn’t impressed.Confidence trickster, alternative medicine practitioner This was a pretty popular hangout for kids until cops started cracking down, so that’s most likely where the writing came from. Looks too new to be 40-something years old. As for the writing on the walls…well that could’ve been spraypainted on at any time. I’m not so sure there ever was a Farmer Allen, although the name of the road that runs through the property is (or was) Allen Road. This story is supposedly documented, but I’ve yet to see anything. Now, some of this story sounds like the typical cheese B movie stuff from Friday the 13th XXIII or something. The night guard’s body was found in the meat freezer, hung on a meat hook with a pig’s head replacing his own. One night, messages in animal blood were written on the wall, saying “I see you” and “Tonight all will die.” Shortly after that, when they failed to receive any report from the night guard, the sanitarium officials sent people to check out the slaughterhouse. There were reports of animals squealing from the slaughterhouse, but no one was ever caught trespassing. And one day, as all loonies do, he escaped. ![]() After a few years, he started acting better, so they let him work around and outside the Sanitarium, cleaning and whatnot. Eventually he became one of the patients in the very place that took his land. He’d try getting back in his house and just hang around his former property. So Farmer Allen went mad because he lost everything he owned. Then when the Marlboro Sanitarium was built (which is practically across the street from the site), the government seized the land. The now popular story is that the place used to be a farm years ago, owned by Mr. And no, it’s not just one slaughterhouse…there are many buildings, some burnt down part of an old railroad abandoned chicken coops sheds old farm equipment and other freaky stuff like smashed wooden crosses & ladders sawed in half. Located in Marlboro behind a residential area and a YMCA, the area of the Slaughterhouse is HUGE. I think these were decent for disposable camera photos.Īlso, keep in mind I have not been to the SH since 2002, so several of the buildings may have since been knocked down. ![]() But this is how the pics on the site used to look back in the day, and I think they have more personality anyway. ![]() They’re big, grainy, and in all honesty, not that good. As such, I’ve decided to keep the photos in their original condition. Note: The slaughterhouse was the original trip for the site. ![]()
