The Haunted Palace

By creating this noble culture of being in the king’s good graces, Louis was able to keep a tight grip on the nobility of France, keeping them placated and loyal. The palace itself was also meant to be awe-inspiring to the nobles. Starting as a simple hunting cabin, Louis built it to be the peak of luxury and excess. This was common for the Baroque style of architecture, but it had never seen application on such a…

Business Plan We are the Underground: a haunted house attraction that is located in a cavern. Our goal is to create a truly frightening experience in a very untraditional way by focusing more on the actors and natural setting rather than large effects and displays. We operate seasonal, but keep our lobby/bar open all year. The attraction will consist of a self guided tour of the cave were the participants will explore, figure out what they must do through puzzles, and reading. During their…

The Blue Man One stormy, foggy night I was sitting near the glass door, I was having a good time playing my video game. About 30 minutes later I got up to get a drink and came back to play. As soon as I took a seat I heard loud noises like branches cracking, then at the corner of my eye I saw a blue figure outside of the glass door, it passed by at the speed of a bullet. At that moment my heart was racing. My mind is telling me to crack the door open but my body said no. I went with my gut and…

but I couldn’t ever be in my room for more than five minutes without getting nervous. I always felt as if I was being watched, and there was always a tapping noise whenever the room got colder than usual, which was often. I was positive my room was haunted, and my asthma and bizarre dreams when I went to sleep only furthered my reasoning that something wanted me gone. Mel eventually got tired of my compulsive need to stay out of my room, and one day sat me down and told me what was what. I tried…

In a sleepy town called Zulandale there was a building that was paranormal. Many people around town would always talk about 4931 W Coleson Lane. That’s where the business was. The business next door got much more business then we ever did. There is a window between Blakely’s Coffee and Hamilton’s Corner. People use to look through the window and ended up getting frantic because they were afraid of the rumors. Francis Oberson was the manager of the business and was concerned for his building and…

Honest Horror I am eager to witness the horrors within “America’s scariest” that the masses raved about. Not having a reservation, I am forced to sneak around the attentive guard. The charcoal black suit with legs intimidates all who enter. Luckily, the bouncer stares mindlessly at the black cellular device within his tight grasp as if he guarded that rather than the entrance. In his moment of blindness I manage to duck underneath the red rope stanchions into the exuberant crowd. After…

Since “The Girl in the Lavender Dress” is another version of “Resurrection Mary” there are some differences in the events in each of the stories plot. For example, in “The Girl in the Lavender Dress” the text never specifies where Carol’s ghost was coming from. The text said “And it was after dusk when we first saw her. I know it was dark, 'cause I remember first seeing her in the lights ahead. Neither Herbert nor I spoke. He slowed down, and the girl stopped walking. She just stood there on our…

Bodies dad said “it will be thirty minutes till we get there”. I was as bored as a worm until I saw some lights. We're here someone shouts. We finally arrived at the haunted theme park. As we wait for the tickets in line us three watch the movie that's playing. Finally, we got the tickets and started to head over to the haunted house. I was as excited as a hummingbird. After five minutes have passed it's our turn to go in.…
