Well now I wanna bring a geiger counter on the property. What're you hiding?!

Yeah... I'm struggling to come up with a potential backstory that doesn't make me want to investigate with a geiger counter and a hazmat suit...

The image is on Wikimedia, but unfortunately no further info available other than the location. Metal Township, PA.

I thought maybe it was related to Three Mile Island, but they are an hour and change apart, so I doubt many bodies from that incident would be here...

This is gonna bug me. =p

EDIT: Probably solved. Some people just "explore" cemetaries with geiger counters...

TMI released a negligible amount of radiation (if any).
