Midnight Manor
ALL NEW FOR 2008, MIDNIGHT MANOR VICTORIAN HAUNTED MANSION. 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. 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. Spirits and ghosts are everywhere and no bodies have ever been discovered. Midnight Manor has now been re-opened for public tours. If you dare, come to Mansfield, Texas and journey through the halls and secret passageways of Midnight Manor and experience a real haunted house.

The Labryinth of the Minotaur
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 bull inhabitant of the mysterious labyrinth. King Minos tried to hide this horrible creature in a vast and convoluted maze - the labyrinth. So the Minotaur survived in the gloom of the labyrinth. Every nine years, seven maidens and seven young men from Athens were offered to appease the appetite of the monster. 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, and so it is said that he put the mighty Minotaur to rest. Come, assist Theseus in this journey to defeat the Minotaur and end the monster's reign of terror. Are you brave enough to enter the Labyrinth?
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 writings 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 re-creation gone horrifyingly wrong, your goal is to examine the relics left behind in the limited 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?
