Bythesea Mansion Short Story

Improved Essays
It was incredibly odd to see so many people at Bythesea mansion. Not many people made their way out to this little two-story, eight room Victorian style mansion in the middle of nowhere. Stephanie knew that for a fact. She watched as camera equipment was brought in, along with tons of crew and production members. Something was being filmed here, and she assumed it was a documentary.

As soon as her blue eyes landed on the brown haired male in front of her, she couldn 't help but get excited. Dressed her light blue t-shirt that read Bythesea Mansion tour guide on the front and light brown khaki 's with pink tennis shoes, she came up to Matthew and introduced herself. "Hey, I 'm Stephanie.

    Blog post #4 This chapter was really interesting. I like how Emma doesn't want to go to her trip with Ndoli , because she feels better alone. The book caught my attention when she started talking to the lady in the house that used to be their neighbor and Emma was talking more about her mother, and the book was really sad at that moment.

    Haunted houses are meant to be a place where people can go to be scared.the origins of the haunted house date back to 19th-century London, when a series of illusions and attractions introduced the public to new forms of gruesome entertainment. In 1802, Marie Tussaud scandalized British audiences with an exhibition of wax sculptures of decapitated French figures, including King Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette, Marat and Robespierre. Tussaud’s likenesses were remarkably accurate, and with good reason — she created death masks of the French Revolution’s many guillotine victims. When she set up a permanent London exhibition, she dubbed her grotesque collection the “Chamber of Horrors” — a name that has stuck to the wax museum to this…
