ALL NEW FOR 2008 MIDNIGHT MANOR
THERE IS MORE TO MIDNIGHT MANOR THAN MEETS THE EYE... From the outside, this place looks like an average manor house from the early 20th Century. Truth be told, the history of Midnight Manor will leave one’s skin crawling. The story about to unfold is an actual account of the monstrous acts that occurred in this home. In 1900, Midnight Manor, in Mansfield, Texas was owned by the Morbid family. Dr. Morbid’s wife, Mary, and 2 children, Emily and Alex were all dying from an unknown sickness. In response, Dr. Morbid started performing experiments on his patients and manor staff to find a cure for this sickness and one by one, they began disappearing. Dr. Morbid was hiding the dead bodies throughout his home both inside and out. Some say that Dr. Morbid built secret doors and passageways throughout his mansion to hide the evidence of his monstrous acts. Because he was unable to find a cure for his wife and children, they all perished in October of 1902. Dr. Morbid lived at Midnight Manor for another 31 years until he perished alone and insane in 1932, but his body has never been found and some say he is still alive. The Mansfield authorities have still never discovered some 20 missing persons that disappeared from 1900 to 1930. The manor sat vacant for over 75 years, when the Texas State Historical Society deemed it a state historical landmark. Midnight Manor was opened to the public in 2007. Within the first month, numerous encounters with spirits were reported and the National Ghost Hunters Association was called in to investigate. The N.G.H.A. recorded at least 15 spiritual encounters in the manor. Still, spirits haunt Midnight Manor and no bodies have ever been discovered. The manor has now been re-opened for public tours. If you dare, come to Mansfield, Texas and see Midnight Manor and experience a real haunted house.
HAUNTED EGYPTIAN TEMPLE OF ANUBIS On what appeared to be an ordinary overgrown patch of land like so many others, we discovered what at first glance seemed to be some strange ruins, and some nearly unintelligible writings. Deciphering the texts and clearing more of the area has led us on a bizarre journey with one recurring theme: There is no sanctuary.
Previous exploratory teams have disappeared without a trace. As volunteer excavators in this apparent recreation gone horrifyingly wrong, your goal is to examine the relics left behind in the litmited time available. We sincerely hope the wrath of Anubis is not brought down upon any of you...
Will you be brave enough to enter? And more importantly, will you survive?
THE LABYRINTH OF THE MINOTAUR HAUNTED ADVENTURE
In Greek mythology, the Minotaur was a deadly and terrifying monster - indeed, this creature was one of the many dark forces of chaos in ancient legend. The Minotaur played a small but significant part in myth, and is most memorable in his role as the half human, half bovine inhabitant of the mysterious labyrinth. In addition, he was also the enemy of the Greek hero Theseus. So let us learn more about how this strange being influenced legend and explore the mythology of the Minotaur. The tale of the Minotaur begins with Minos, the king of Crete. According to mythology, the god Poseidon sent King Minos a stunningly perfect white bull. This bull was meant to be a sacrifice to the great god of the sea. However, Minos valued the animal too much to use it as a sacrificial victim. In some versions of the story, Poseidon then punished King Minos by making Pasiphae, Minos's wife, fall passionately in love with the bull.
This was a powerful curse. Queen Pasiphae had no choice but submit to her lust for the animal, so with the help of the legendary inventor and craftsman Daedalus, she managed to satisfy her unnatural desires. The result of this union was the birth of a monster, which was half man and half bull. He was referred to the Minotaur, or the bull of Minos. King Minos then tried to hide this horrible creature in a vast and convoluted maze - the labyrinth.
So the Minotaur survived in the gloom of the labyrinth. Either every year or every nine years, seven maidens and seven young men from Athens were offered to appease the appetite of the monster. And it was this horrible custom that eventually resulted in the Minotaur's death. For, according to the legend, the Greek hero Theseus volunteered to go to Crete in place of one of the seven youths. Once in Crete, assisted by the princess Ariadne, Theseus defeated the Minotaur and in this way ended the monster's reign of terror.
