They say this house is full of ghosts... seven to be exact.
One ghost died after her husband threw her into a vat of acid. Another, the
most recent, also involves a marriage gone bad. The wife, she just went crazy
one night. She murdered her husband and her sister then chopped them up and
placed their body parts in various places around the house. The heads were never
found. Tonight, there is going to be a party in this house. Seven people total.
Four men and three women, just like the ghosts. A ghost for everyone as someone
said. The host tonight is Frederick Loren. The party was his wives idea, his
fourth wife to be exact, but he invited the people. Five strangers. They only
have one thing in common, they all need money. You see, Mr. Loren offered them
10,000 dollars each if they spent the night in the house. As legend has it,
you can come in, but once night falls and the house is locked, you won't get
out. The door is cast iron, and every window is barred. There will be murders
tonight, but will it be the ghosts that cause it, or foul play? Oh... and, have
a nice time at the party.
