Murder Mystery Weekend
October 31st & November 1st, 2008
Something was amiss throughout the sleepy little towns of Ohio ever since locals started turning up dead fifteen years ago. They were found as white as ghost with the look of complete horror on their faces and drained of hteir blood in a quite grizzley manner. It was as though the the victims were too scared to scream, that is the ones that could be identified. Many theories were presented as to who the killer(2) were, but still this carnage went on unsolved for a decade and a half, even with the help of the F.B.I. the case could not be cracked.
