I believe this whole area is the  center of mystical energy, that things gravitate towards it that-that  you might not find elsewhere."- Rupert Giles1. Belmont High (AKA Horror High): While it is not a Hellmouth, it IS a locus for negative and chaotic spiritual energies- and there are few places on earth that contain or produce more negative energy than a public high school (fear, hatred, lust, depression, envy- you name it). Since it tends to draw in such energies and has no real outlet for the resulting product, things tend to 'ferment' and bubble over, resulting in all kinds of weird, scary, or dangerous occurrences- leading to its reputation as 'Horror High'. It may have been built on the secret graveyard and sacrificial altar of a warlock from Colonial times... The school was completely demolished and rebuilt in 2010, after a series of events which culminated in a mysterious fire. The new school is divided into three wings, each with two main floors: Administration (offices on the first floor, library on the second floor), Main (classrooms and lockers on both floors- mostly freshmen/sophomores on the first floor, juniors and seniors on the second floor), and East wing (Gymnasium, Auditorium, Cafeteria, and miscellaneous storage and support rooms). The East wing also has a basement, with the pool, locker rooms, kitchen, and so on.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belmont_High_School_(Massachusetts)" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belmont_High_School_(Massachusetts)</a>2. Belmont Hill School: Local all-boys prep school (where the rich-er kids go); does not have the scary reputation that Belmont High does. Unsurprisingly, there is a strong rivalry between the two schools, though they do not directly compete in many ways.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belmont_Hill_School" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belmont_Hill_School</a>3. McLean Hospital: Located in Belmont, this is a psychiatric hospital and research facility- one of the largest such programs in the world (and the largest in a private facility). In-universe, it is also one of the foremost centers in research in psychic and paranormal phenomena and abilities- though this is very much NOT common public knowledge.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLean_Hospital" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLean_Hospital</a>4. Boston Public Library: The 'closed stacks' at the main library on Copley Square contain what might be the largest non-private collection of 'spellbooks' and other occult materials in North America. Some of the archival vaults at Harvard may contain rarer items, but the BPL has more total material. While Miskatonic University is a fictional place, the BPL is a fair substitute.<a href="http://www.bpl.org/" target="_blank">http://www.bpl.org/</a></blockquote>
