- "One thing I can tell you is stay the hell away from the Dunwich Building in the south, that place is bad mojo. I don't know much about it but I hear a lot of weird shit is going on."
- ―Ronald Laren
The Dunwich Building is a pre-war building located on the South-West side of the map. The location is notorious in the myth hunting community due to the common paranormal events that occur here.
Description[]
Before the war, the building was owned by a company called Dunwich Borers LLC, a company that manufactured drills and other mining equipment for tunneling and drilling. In one of the rooms of the building is a Terminals. On the terminal is a transcript. On the transcript, a company employee can be heard announcing a new drill, followed by Nuclear Bombs exploding and the sound of what appears to be workers turning into Feral Ghouls. On the building, there is a door that opens by its self, although you have to be coming from the east to see it.
Myths[]
Self-Opening Door[]
In the Dunwich Building Entrance, there is a self-opening door (upper area in the south corridor), however, you have to be coming from the east.
Hallucination Flashback[]
The hallucinating flashback occurs at the beginning of the Forsaken Dunwich Ruins, after a stair case and left path. In the hallucination, the player sees what the building was like pre-war. The flashbacks keep coming and going. This means that in the flashback, the player will see a man looking at a clipboard but when the flashback ends it will just be a Feral Ghoul with a clipboard on the ground beside it.
Paranormal Presence[]
Upon entering the room where the unknown man refers to "Billy", a coffee pot is thrown to the floor and a fan is knocked over. Also, on the first floor of the building, in a room on a table is a severed head. Leaving the area through a door and returning will cause it to suddenly disappear.
Krivbeknih[]
The Krivbeknih is a book added in the Point Lookout DLC. It is a leather bound, blood covered book used for occult purposes. When found, the player is given a quest, The Dark Heart of Blackhall, where he has to take it to the Dunwich Building to remove its supernatural power. This is a reference to the Necronomicon of HP Lovecraft's writings, and also the cement the Dunwich Building's reputation as a paranormal hotspot. If the player drops the book on the obelisk at the bottom of the building, it will ignite in flames and also incinerate the nearby feral ghouls.

Trivia[]
- During the flashback, the walls are still chipped and cracked, likely because the developers didn't have enough time to change it to a pre-war standard of cleanliness before releasing the game.
- The story told in the personal logs is a reference to H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos. See especially The Dunwich Horror, the book where the name of the building came from.
