-Like Foxfield, Witches' Hollow seems to have been a setting that [[H.P. Lovecraft]] was developing for some stories he was planning, but never got a chance to start writing; the location appears to have been borrowed from Oliver Wendell Holmes' short story "The Guardian Angel", and according to some speculation may have been under development by Lovecraft as Foxfield itself.  First mentioned in Lovecraft's [[Commonplace_Book_(fiction)|Commonplace Book]] in a couple of very roughly-sketched story ideas; Witches' Hollow never appeared in any known Lovecraft stories.

 :"N.E. region call'd 'Witches' Hollow' - along course of a river. Rumours of witches' sabbaths and Indian powwows on a broad mound rising out of the level where some old hemlocks and beeches formed a dark grove or daemon-temple. Legends hard to account for. Holmes - Guardian Angel." - [[H.P. Lovecraft]], "[[Commonplace Book (fiction)]]"

 * Foxfield Unitarian Church:  Most striking when entering Foxfield is a huge church steeple from the Gothic Revival-style Unitarian Church, Interim Minister Graham West oversees the church in the 1920s.
 * Local Police:  The town does not employ police, and relies on the Massachusetts State Police (State Trooper Author Dewey in the 1920s) for legal intervention. For the most part, there is no police presence in the area unless they are called in (it will take upwards of 20 minutes for police to arrive in the 1920s).

 * Pickering Mill:  Once a prosperous mill town, Foxfield is now a shell of its former self with none of the mills in operation. A collection of local farms the locals may refer to as "stables" used to house the Polish and Russian immigrant workers back in the day when the Pickering Mill was up and running, the farms were sometimes named after the predominant nationality of the workers who stayed there (e.g., "Poles' Farm"). After the Pickering Mill burned down and there was no work anymore, the immigrant workers left Foxfield to find labor jobs in other cities.

+As described by Keith “Doc” Herber in the scenario "[[Proof of Life]]":
 * "…explore farther up the street, past the church… to the Fox River and the ruins of the abandoned mill looming over the far bank. It’s the dry season, and the river is barely more than a trickle. Down Stream an old covered bridge crosses the Fox River, and a dirt road leads past the mill, toward the northern farms."
