Outside Phantom Manor at the far edge of the property stands the former Ravenswood Family Cemetery, now transformed into the local graveyard after the family vanished. It is a quiet spot, perched high above the Rivers Of The Far West and near the local geyser, which seems constantly to be on the verge of eruption. There seems to always be a humming supernatural energy to the place, always seeming on the verge of becoming audible or visible, but never doing so - always there. one might catch a little bit of song sung by an unseen person, or a dirge being chanted by a ghostly funeral procession. And, of course, there is the unmarked grave. Some say that's where old Melanie Ravenswood, the girl who locked herself away in that old house, is buried. We'll never know for sure, and you could stare for hours at that big crypt. But some say, late at night, if you get up close when nobody's around and listen carefully, you can hear a heartbeat inside. Come on, come in, and explore Boot Hill. Henry Ravenswood, 1795 - 1860,
