The rumors have been floating around since the 50’s – of a wedding at Darkside Manor that ended in the disappearance of the entire wedding party. After this horrific event, the property was sealed, forgotten and the events of the day quickly turned into legend. Recently a few local teenagers out exploring rediscovered the hotel. They reported hearing strange sounds and made claims that could only be described as supernatural. As their stories about the property spread around the community, a group of local paranormal investigators decided to see if the reports were true. Everyone agrees that something is odd about the Inn, but we need you on the team to help solve the mystery of what happened to the poor souls that checked in, but never checked out of Darkside Manor. |

The warden was outraged by their disobedience and ordered his sadistic guards to torture and permanently silence the prisoners. These unfortunate souls were secretly disposed of under dead of night and the yard became one unmarked mass grave. The merciless guards of Doswell State still patrol The Yard, always ready to enforce the warden's rule of terror.
