+ | Along time ago, a young couple was picnicing near the woods | ||
+ | on the outskirts of town. They were celebrating the birth | ||
+ | of their first child. | ||
+ | area and attacked them. The child and husband were | ||
+ | unharmed, but the wife was gored to death by the moose. | ||
+ | After the funeral, the man bought the land where the incident occurred | ||
+ | and constructed a large mansion: CHEZ MOOSE. | ||
+ | the treasures of his family and claimed that his wife's | ||
+ | soul was still in the area. He vowed to remain in the | ||
+ | mansion until he had returned her soul to human flesh. | ||
+ | He tried to bridge the gap between life and death to reclaim her. | ||
+ | Some say he was insane with grief, but others claimed that the madness was | ||
+ | in his blood, and his wife's death brought it to the surface. | ||
+ | After he entered the house, he never returned, and was declared dead | ||
+ | seven years later. | ||
+ | looking for him but none of them have ever returned. | ||
+ | There were rumors that he and his wife now haunt the house. | ||
+ | That would be the end of the story except that the house | ||
+ | still stands and is filled with priceless treasures. | ||
+ | The house and all its contents are willed to his only descendant. | ||
+ | Oh yes, I forgot to tell you, the day the mother was killed, | ||
+ | the child was stolen by Gypsies. | ||
+ | The Will claims that only the descendant will know | ||
+ | how to avoid going crazy and committing suicide | ||
+ | while spending a night in the mansion. | ||
+ | An obscure hereditary disease, Orkhisnoires sakioannes, | ||
+ | is supposed to play some part in this. | ||
+ | So if your heritage is in doubt, you may be the descendant that | ||
+ | can claim the treasure in the mansion. | ||
+ | Many people, claiming to be descendants have died trying... | ||
+ | or at least never returned. | ||
+ | The terms of the Will say you get to keep any treasure | ||
+ | you get to the lawn, but of course you must also get off the premises alive. | ||
+ | Because the house is haunted it must be destroyed, and nobody | ||
+ | would be crazy enough to try and recover the rest of the treasure. | ||
+ | If you do get out, the government has agreed to | ||
+ | buy the land and destroy the house. | ||
