In 1671 an estate was erected in what would become New Orleans, but there was one problem. The manor was built on indian burial grounds. Over the passing centuries, all who lived in the mansion perished. These are their stories.

1. Introduction

Intro

Narrator- Welcome, Foolish mortals, to the haunted mansion. I am your host, your ghost host! Today I am going to tell you the story of that most fabled of mansions. Years ago, in a beautiful, yet dangerous place, a village thrived. It was said that the village was very prosperous, and the people lived very happy lives… but one day something terrible happened. No one can say exactly what happened, only that the sky turned black and the earth reeled and shook. In mere hours this apocalypse wiped those people off the very face of the earth. Many years passed and stories of that most terrible night was largely forgotten. When the town was no longer scarred by the terrible burns from years ago, people gathered at that area and built a new town. The settlers had become known as the "English" and drove what was left of the natives out of their new colony. Although they tried to drive the natives words out of their heads, word soon spread among the people of the colony of a curse. A curse placed upon the very land which they had settled in. It is said that if curse were to claim one thousand souls, than the entire world would be doomed! Indeed, this it tale of the haunted mansion, and the legend of Gracey Manor.
