Along time ago it was. There lived a man named Jordan Baldwin. He sought to achieve a dream. It would be fantastic. A large romanesque house. It would be a place for his retirement. Laboring for years in the construction business, it would be his final masterpiece. So at age 67, he was getting on in his years. He began construction. It was a windy, cloudy night in October 1907. His chosen sight was four miles from a local graveyard. He had a team of twelve assembled and they worked endlessly for months. Finally his masterpiece was completed. An old miser, he lived alone in the three story abode. The old man was unhealthy and never left the house. Shortly after the construction of his home, the old man died of heart and respiratory failure from a strange virus. But the old house would become a sinister part of history. It would have a name. The Old Baldwin House... Now sometime in the far future, a small assemblage of people gather at the rusty gates of The Baldwin House. They are teenagers. Part of a small, local gang of trouble-makers. Mysteriously the gates open. The gangmembers are spooked, nothing more. They enter. Slowly they creep up the narrow drive until they reach the house. The old wooden doors creep open on their own accord. The gangmembers expect such things of an old mansion like this. They enter but wont exit. Nine hours later... Police enter the Old Baldwin House. It is filled with incredible carnage. The walls are splattered with blood. Six headless bodies are scattered throughout the house. Where are the heads??? They are hung from strings in the second story ballroom. All with their mouths agape and eyes wide. Each above six tables littered with silverware, wineglasses, and napkins.
