Scenario
It has been a long time since you had a vacation.  Well, it's not
really a vacation, more of a retreat.  You told your publicist you
wanted to find a place with the right atmosphere for the horror
novel you are writing.  He really outdid himself this time!  How
he was able to get you to Hampton Manor for a month's stay is
beyond you.  It is empty and was for sale until a judge took it
off the market.  The last owners just disappeared and since seven
years have passed the heirs are fighting it out in the courts.
The manor has been on a few of those strange but true TV shows and
has been written up in many similar magazines.  Stopping in town
you asked about the place and people became visible upset.  Now
standing outside the gate you can see why.  You get the feeling
someone or something is watching you.  Now if you can just
remember where your secretary said they hid the key you will be
all set.  Taking a deep breath you get ready to enter Hampton
Manor...

few days Peter recovers and you become good friends.  Not only is
he an accomplished artist but also a writer.  He has many great
stores to tell and helps you write your book "Hampton Manor" which
becomes a number one best seller.  A movie company buys the rights
and later it is turned into an interactive computer game.

After the mirror was buried the mural in the upstairs hallway
slowly returned to normal.  It now shows a forest scene with a
family of three having a peaceful picnic.  Charlie is also better
and has no memory of his visit to the Mansion.  Peter lives in the
manor and you still visit him from time to time.
