History:

The Story of Blackwell Manor: During the early 1800s two brothers, Ethan and Silas Blackwell, emigrated from England and later went into business together. Ethan, the eldest, decided the family business would be the funeral parlor profession, Ethan being the undertaker and Silas the mortician. The two were very successful, despite rumors that the entire family was somewhat eccentric. By the late 1870's the brothers had amassed a fair sum of money. Ethan had married and had a large family, Silas on the other hand only had the business to keep him occupied. Time passed and Ethan Blackwell fell ill and passed on. Some say Ethan's death was untimely and quite curious. Silas performed the autopsy and claimed his vrother died of natural causes. Ethan's will granted his wife and children his half of the business which turned out to be a surprising 85%. Seems that Ethan had taken on Silas as more of an employee than a partner and had kept it secret. Silas became a bitter and angry man, he had expected his brother to leave him the business, after so many years together. Ethan's wife and now grown children wanted nothing ot do with the funeral parlor business and decided to sell their portion, which forced Silas out of business. When Silas learned of their decision he lfew into a fit of rage and swore revenge upon the entire Blackwell family. He looked to evil and black magic which turned him into a sinister and wicked man. Silas believed that if he was the last of the surviving Blackwell's, the business and family fortune would be his. One fateful night, at the stroke of midnight he commenced with the demise of his brothers family. If you dare to enter the Blackwell's home you may come across Silas' ghost haunting the crimes he committed over a hundred years!
