Wednes­day, August 18th sees the pre­miere of a brand new episode in our series “Where’ve You Been?”, where we look at things to do and places to see in and around the Sec­ond Life Grid.

In Episode 14, we find that Hal­lowe’en starts ear­ly as we vis­it The Haunt­ed Man­sion Trib­ute.

Too soon for Hal­loween?  If you know some­one who is a seri­ous fan of the cel­e­bra­tion, you know that it can nev­er be too soon. In this episode we vis­it the Haunt­ed Man­sion on Lythria — adja­cent to Bach­man­n’s larg­er amuse­ment and car­ni­val area. Owned by Nance Clowes, it is a trib­ute to the theme park attrac­tion first devel­oped by Walt Dis­ney Imag­i­neers for Dis­ney­land, and then sub­se­quent­ly for Walt Dis­ney World and oth­er Dis­ney destinations.

The own­er was kind enough to give us a tour, where we learned that there are many more secrets than you might imag­ine hid­den with­in these hal­lowed haunt­ed walls. Inspired specif­i­cal­ly by the Walt Dis­ney World Man­sion, this trib­ute cre­ation includes a secret gallery cel­e­brat­ing the work of the leg­endary Mark Davis. And if you hap­pen to be the lucky ran­dom guest that gets just the right Doom Bug­gy, you might be treat­ed to a spe­cial tour of the Man­sion that is slight­ly dif­fer­ent from the one most guests experience.
