The haunting allure of a cinematic landmark turned into a real-world nightmare for a family in Georgia this past week. Leah Palmirotto, a 19-year-old woman, tragically lost her life after trespassing onto a restricted property that served as a primary setting for one of the world's most popular television dramas–Netflix's Stranger Things.
The incident occurred in the early hours of Friday morning on the Briarcliff campus of Emory University. Local authorities confirmed that Leah and a group of companions had bypassed security measures to enter a fenced-off, dilapidated structure that led to her death after she fell from the abandoned building.
