This is from the Fenwright Manor(Haunted House Ride) blog

The future of this attraction is in jeopardy, all the concept art and protype props were lost with storage. Not to mention that serious captial is needed to fund and build this ride. It's been off and on since May 1996, and always gets put on the back burner. I don't know if this will ever get built and it's hard for me to ask for investors or look into getting a loan or grant. 

Everything is gone

The future of this blog is in serious question.  I am beside myself after learning our storage was sold out from under us.  I mean what storage facility sells the contents of a unit after being late two months?  My brother called every month to explain our situation, and was assured they would work with us on a payment plan.  Everything is gone,  paintings, props, notes, pictures, plans, decorations....  it's all irreplaceable.   I don't know what I'm going to do, maybe I will leave these blogs open or maybe I will delete them 'cause I'm so damn depressed.   

The Haunted Library Facebook Page

I am pleased to announce that The Haunted Library now has a page on Facebook.  I guess it's my attempt to reach a broader audience.  As of now the page is still under construction, but please check it often. 

The Haunted Dining Room

In my old house, the front door was in the dining room, as it was with trailer houses from the 1960's.   This presented a unique opportunity every Halloween, but was not realized until 1998.   The dining room had a buffet with china cabinets above it, and a chandelier.  It had "Victorian haunted house" written all over it.  From 1998 to 2005, I would put dim blue lighting up, move some old looking "props" around,  and use the cotton spiderwebs to maximum effect.   Until I can find more pictures, these three are the best I could find.

The Grave Jumper with shroud

I thought I would post this picture of the grave jumper skull with it's shroud since it was too fast to be seen in the Halloween video I posted last November.

Scrooge & Marley

Here's my drawings of Ebenezer Scrooge and the ghost of Jacob Marley from this video last year.
