Make your

.
This old
decrepit
shack
may appear uninhabited, but don't let its exterior fool you. You
may
just get
invited to dinner! This has been the VanAtter family home for many
centuries,
and it may just be the last thing you see before your untimely demise!
If you
escape,
travel the Valley Trail to the
. This huge
2 acre cemetery has nearly 100 tombstones! Watch out for open graves, and hope
that you don't see your
name on any tombstones! Fresh bodies have been scarce,

such as yourself will appear very inviting!

around you, as you feel you are
being watched. The crunch of every leaf will
leave you breathless, wondering what lies

even encounter some of the patients from the VanAtter
Asylum. After the
good doctor finishes with them, his patients seem to have some "slight

harm!
