An evil presence is felt as soon as you are dropped off into the woods at the front door of the old rickety house. Legend has it that the house was abandoned many years ago by an old farmer and his wife. Not much was known about them, but their evil presence remains inside the house. You enter at your own risk.
The house is filled with many hallways and rooms you will have to maneuver through in order to escape the beings within. By light of the moon, around trees and other obstacles, creatures and spirits will stalk and try to prevent you from exiting alive.
The hay wagon may or may not be there to take you back. It all depends on the old farmer and his wife. RESPECT THEIR PRESENCE!
Free for all entries! No preregistration required! Cash prizes for the winner in each category!
