Located on Fiesta Island, off the coast of Prospect

Welcome Guests

When hinges creak in doorless chambers, and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls.

Whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still - that is the time when ghosts are present

practicing their terror with ghoulish delight!



Entry
RWCemetery.jpg

The path from the ferry toward the house is rather eerie. Cobblestones are laid in a path toward the house, with sporadic lights to guide the way.
The vegetation is a bit wild, but sections are well kept. Unlike most estates, the path is going through what looks to be an old graveyard. At first, just a pet cemetery.

Closer and closer to the estate, the tombstones are those of family. So many to see, you wonder if anyone is left alive? Approaching the estate, the manor appears to be well kept from the outside.
The steps up to the landing, and railings all look in fine shape. The windows are clean.
Looking up to the third story, is that a face looking down at you? Blink and it disappears. Maybe it was nothing.

Inside the Manor

From the ferry, you take a path up through a graveyard to arrive at the manor. The door is solid and once opened, you are greeted by the butler, Maynard.

Directed inside you go through what seems to be an endless hallway. Antique chandeliers light it up, showing the dark red and black wallpaper and carpeting.

Dark oak doors line the sides going to unknown rooms. Is someone holding a candelabra toward the end, beckoning you to join them? Or is it floating?

Once to the right place in the hallway, the doors open up and invite you into the Grand Ballroom. Attention is drawn to the size of the room and the large pipe organ that takes up most of one of the walls.
A seating area is setup with a chaisse lounge and a pair of Bergère chairs to each side not far from the pipe organ.
The dance floor lays next to it, consisting of 30,602 blocks of mahogany, oak and walnut, all sanded and polished to give the perfect location for those wishing to waltz with their partner.
There is a long dining table is setup on the opposite side of the room, with ornate chairs surrounding it.
Whenever a party is held, the 'residents' tend to come out and join in the party. They really know how to have a good time.
