The Mansion

The Mansion was a location in the original Ghostscape, and was the murder scene of several people. It hosts the Dagger of Hatred, the Book of Spirits, the Amulet of Blood, and the Ring of Insanity.

There are works of art around the mansion, giving the feel as if the owners were great fans of artwork of all types. Some are weird, some are disturbing, some are even so natural that they're out of place.

Inside, there are four corpses in different parts of the basement, accessed through the cellar and pantry. In the pantry, a Red Candle and a Diary Page can be found, as well as two aforementioned corpses, having now decomposed into skeletons.

The gargoyles out by the porch are rather intimidating at first glance and would likely have strayed away children on October 31st. At the end of the game, there is a newspaper at the porch.
