Dead Mans Manor

Two 15 year old boys and a 15 year old girl decide to investigate the creepy “Dead Mans Manor” in the middle of the forest of lost souls.
Nick, Mike and Jamie were their names. . . Not very smart for there had been multiple warnings from the media about this “death trap” as it was called. But being the foolish teenagers they were, they didn’t pay any mind to the warnings.

One Friday night around 12:30 Nick and Mike waited for Jamie to climb out her bedroom window, they were arguing about who was tougher and better looking. When Jamie finally opened the window and climbed down the terrace of her house she didn’t look thrilled at all. She hadn’t wanted to come along in the first place, but Nick and Mike had been planning for this night since the last Halloween, the night their science teacher had gone missing near that same forest. The boys had blackmailed her into coming by threatening to spread her prom dress mishap through the school in the Monday news paper. . . Jamie sighs unhappily as the two boys greet her w/ luke warm smiles.
Jamie: Let’s just get this over w/ alright?
Nick: What’s the matter, is Jamie scared?
Jamie: Just shut up and lead the way already will ya…

Nick and Mike sprint ahead pushing and shoving each other as boys often do when they want to get a girls attention. Jamie was too busy watching the bushes and behind her to notice their alpha behavior. When they reached the end of town and the forest of lost souls the boys attitudes suddenly changed to a more serious tone. . .
Mike: So… who’s going first?
Nick: You! *shoves Mike into the brush and laughs*
Mike: *catching his balance* fine, I’m no whussy wimp
As Mike leads the way into the darkness the others follow not far behind. Suddenly Jamie screams! The boys jump thinking someone has died or something and turn to see Jamie staring at her feet
Jamie: I stepped in some kind of animal . . . nastiness. . . I love these shoes, she whines.
Mike: Seriously? You scared the hell out of us!
Mike turns to give Nick a “why did we bring her again?” look, but Nick isn’t there…
Mike: Nick? Hey Nick wait for us! C’mon princess *grabs Jamie’s arm and takes off running down the path*
They finally break through the dense forest and find themselves in an open area, the only trees around are lined down the dirt road leading to what lies straight ahead, Dead Mans Manor.
As they step onto the front porch they notice that Nick isn’t anywhere to be seen.
Mike: I coulda swore he kept walking when we stopped back there
Jamie: Maybe. . . Maybe he got lost?
Mike: Do you think we should go back and look for him?
They turn when they hear the boards creak to the left of them, and then they see it. . . The dark figure emerged from the side of the manor, dripping with what looked like blood, a spine tingling moan floats through the air to Mike and Jamie

The two back up missing the first step and fall down the stairs hitting the ground hard, Mike lands on top of Jamie knocking the air out of her. They lie there frozen in fear as the dark figure comes closer and closer, the moaning getting louder and louder and then... Laughter. . . Laughter?
Nick: You dweebs hahaha *mockingly* Oh so scary, oh we’re gonna die, ahhhhh!
Mike jumps up and rams Nick in the stomach w/ his shoulder
Mike: Not cool dude!
Nick: Ow. . . what the heck?! Can’t you take a joke?
Jamie: That wasn’t funny *she gets up and dusts herself off* Why are you such a fatty Mike?
Mike: Excuse me? You’re the one who pulled me down the stairs
Jamie: I did not; you’re the one who tripped into me!
Mike: whatever, c’mon Jamie lets go check out this awesome place
Nick follows behind rubbing his stomach
As Mike starts to open the door Nick sees something or someone in the window and grabs Mikes shoulder
Nick: Wait, did you guys see that?
Jamie: Nice try jerk, we’re not falling for another stupid prank.
Mike shrugs Nicks hand away and opens the door “c’mon ya babies lets get going.”
No sooner had they entered the room, the door slams shut. They spin around surprised by the sudden loud noise and notice that the door knob is gone.
Jamie: Something isn’t right. . . I KNOW there was a door knob there a minute ago
Mike: It’s an old house . . . it probably just fell out or something
Nick: *under his breathe* doubt it.
Mike: Man look at this place! It’s huge! *he takes off running up the stairs, his footsteps echoing through the manor*
Jamie: wait for us! *starts laughing and runs after Mike* this place is kinda cool, she calls down to Nick, maybe I was being babyish.
Nick: *shouting after the others* I’m telling you guys, I saw something! *begrudgingly follows stomping up the stairs*

They all burst into a double doored room at the same time, swinging the doors into the tables on either side. The room looks as if it used to be an old library, one that hasn’t been touched in years. They decide a library is too boring and they could see that anytime they wanted at school. They move on down the long winding hallway and come to a room that contains a giant bed and an even bigger hot tub in the adjacent room.
Nick: Awesome! The last guy who owned this place must’ve had chicks over all the time
Mike: * High fives Nick and replies* I totally would if this were my place, hot chicks would dig this place man!
Jamie: You guys are so immature. . .
An unfamiliar voice from the doorway makes them jump, Jamie hides behind Nick when she sees the hooded stranger
Jamie: W-who are you?
Stranger: Who am I?! I believe I should be asking who YOU are. How dare you trespass in my home!
Nick: H-hey man, we didn’t mean n-no harm
Mike: Y-yeah, we thought this place was abandoned
Jamie: Everyone in town says it’s . . .
Stranger: Haunted?!
The 3 stand frozen w/ fear and nod
Stranger: Do you know the real story behind this place?
They shake their heads, but don’t move
Stranger: Have a seat and I will tell you
Mike: Uh, we should really be g-going, our parents are probably w-wondering where we are by now
Stranger: Sit!
Nick: Ok, we’ll sit, we’ll sit *looks at the other two as they all sit on the edge of the bed*
Stranger: It was 1924 when my great grandfather built this place. . . (he goes on to tell a tale of friends and enemies, love and loss). . . This place was left to me in my fathers will back in 1976 after his death. I swore I would protect this place from strangers until the day I died, and then continue to protect it for the rest of eternity
Jamie: What happened to you?
Stranger: Old age stupid, what did you think!
Jamie: Sorry. . .
Nick: That’s quite the story sir, but uh. . . we really gotta go now so. . .
They head towards the door but their path is blocked by the stranger
Stranger: Sorry, but you can’t leave. . . ever. No one has ever lived to tell my story, and as long as I’m around no one ever will
The stranger starts walking towards them, pushing them back into the room when Jamie comes up w/ a not-so-well thought out plan and bolts past him; the distraction was just good enough that the boys could knock him down as they ran past and out the door to the stairs
Jamie: Whatever happens don’t stop until you reach home! No matter what!
They get to the front door and remember the door knob is gone; they were left w/ no way out, trapped

Dead Mans Manor (continued)

Frantically they run to the back of the house, because as everyone knows, every house has a back door right? And there it was, or so they thought. They busted through the door w/out contemplating what could be on the other side, they just assumed it had to lead outside. Come to find out, it didn’t. . . They had entered a wear house, but this wasn’t just any old wear house, it was one you would find in a horror film. As much as these three teens loved scary movies, being in one wasn’t so great. Concrete slabs lined the room w/ chains, daggers and saw blades hung from the walls and something smelled awful!
Nick: Guys. . . What’s that? *pointing to the far corner of the room*
Jamie: Oh my gosh… its… A SKELETON!
Mike: There’s another one over there! And over there too!
Stranger: I see you found my collection *shuts the door behind him and slowly walks toward them* now that I have finally obtained the last missing pieces, it is now complete.
Nick: Missing pieces?
Stranger: Yes, you three. I’ve been waiting for a group of teenagers to find this place. *walks past the kids as he goes to the other side of the room and points to one mangled bodily remain* Here lies good ol’ Uncle Rob
The kids remember the story the stranger had recently told them. Uncle Rob had tried to convince the stranger’s father to give the manor to him in his will. Obviously the stranger didn’t like that very much.
Stranger: And here, here is my oh so lovely sister, Anna-Belle
(Anna-Belle had been living w/ the stranger in the manor for a while as his maid
Stranger: She became too much of a threat to my kingdom, I knew if I didn’t dispose of her she would eventually steal this all away from me. *he continues on to point out several other remains* A salesmen who was after my money, a girl who claimed she was lost and in need of shelter from a thunder storm, and my personal favorite: a police man who thought he could out wit me and take me from my home. . .
Mike: That’s the police officer who went missing almost 2 years ago! You murdered him and kept him hidden down here! That’s why no one could find him!
Nick and Jamie huddle close together, thousands of questions pouring through their minds about what is going to happen next? What is the stranger going to do to them? Will they ever see their families again?
Mike breaks up the silence w/ an angry yell
Mike: No! We’re not going to die here! Nick and I knocked you down when we ran past you upstairs, so you can’t be a ghost. And you were somewhat warm too so you can’t be a zombie or a living-dead. I’m not going to take this anymore *he runs screaming at the hooded stranger, jabbing his shoulder into his side and knocking the strangers hood off to reveal. . . nothing. . .He had no face!*
Stranger: You foolish little child! You think you can defeat me?! *picks Mike up by the throat and continues shouting* you’re just a puny little teenager! You shall die first then!
Nick and Jamie: NO!!!
Jamie tries to run to Mike but Nick stops her and whispers in her ear
Nick: We have to run for help, we can’t save Mike on our own
They hear Mike wheezing and gasping for air as they sneak out the door and run to the front of the house again. Nick throws a chair through the stained glass window in the front room and climbs out then helps Jamie escape, the glass shards cutting up their legs and hands.
Back in the warehouse Mike stops kicking and thrashing as darkness overcomes him, the stranger drops him to the floor and turn to ask “whose next”, but when he sees that the other two have escaped he is furious!

Nick and Jamie run frantically through the forest, blood dripping from their legs down the path behind them.
Nick: we have to split up, he can’t catch us both.
Jamie: No! We’ll get lost and then Mike will never get help
Nick: For all we know he’s dead Jamie!
Jamie: Shut up! He’s not dead! He’s going to be just fine! *she sobs as the thought of losing a close friend creeps into her mind*

They both push through some thick bushes and sprawl onto the empty street as the sun begins to rise. Looking at each other they jump up and take off running for the police station. When they finally get there they are in such a panic that they are both talking over each other rapidly…
Police Dispatcher: Slow down you two, one at a time, please!
Jamie: It’s our friend . . . *breathing heavily*
Nick: We know we shouldn’t have done it, but we just wanted to see what the big deal was. . . We went into the forest at the edge of town last night looking for Dead Mans Manor. . .
Jamie: We didn’t mean to cause any trouble; we just wanted to explore the creepy old place
Nick: There was a man w/ a black hood. . . He didn’t have a face and. . .
Before Nick can finish the dispatcher gets a concerned look in her face and begins talking into the intercom
Police Dispatcher: *over the all-call intercom* Attention all units we have a code PK, I repeat a code PK, all units respond immediately!
Jamie: PK? What’s a PK?
Police Dispatcher: Code Phantom Killer. . .
Jamie and Nick exchange looks of horror
Nick: Wait. . . You KNOW this guy!?
Police Dispatcher: *fumbling through files and doesn’t look up* Go home kids, there is nothing more you can do. It is up to the adults now *makes a radio call* can I get someone to escort a couple of kids home?
Jamie: No! Mike is our friend! He might be dead! You have to let us help!
Police Dispatcher: *sympathetically* we warn everyone in this town about that horrid place, we even go after people who go looking for it. . . No matter how much we warn people there is always someone who thinks they are smarter than us and thinks nothing bad can happen to them. They think they can outsmart the Hooded Phantom. . . Because of the foolishness of the people in this town we lost a good cop about 2 years ago. . . We won’t stop until this creep is either dead, or put away
A couple of police officers come into the room and take the kids to a cop car and drive them to Jamie’s house. . .

Later that night Jamie and Nick pace nervously by the phone, the news on the television in the back ground, they wait hoping for any news about their friend. . . nothing. . .

The next day the two officers who brought them home show up at Jamie’s house w/ an update on the situation, but not one either of them wanted to hear.
Officer #1: I’m sorry to inform you that our search was a loss. . . we weren’t able to catch the Phantom, and as for your friend. . . *he sighs in regret* he didn’t make it
Jamie turns to Nick and sobs into his t-shirt
Nick hugs Jamie and replies: But. . . he was only 15. . . this cant be. . .
Officer #2: I assure you two that we will not stop until this psycho is safely behind bars, or 6 feet under the dirt. . . Until then we advise both of you to stay inside after dark and never EVER go back to that forest, do you understand?
Nick nods solemnly and the officers leave

*voice over*
They never did catch the man whom they call the “Hooded Phantom” and Nick and Jamie couldn’t stand to watch any more of the horror shows they used to love so much.
It is said that the Hooded Phantom still wanders the town to this day, searching for two 15 year olds to finish his collection. . . Watch your back; you may just be the “missing piece”. . .

The End…?

I don't think Frook would allow a forum this spammy

What do you mean "spammy"? Its stories.

He means that stories normally take up 2+ posts, therefore each story someone posts would be 2 posts or more. About 2, 3 stories would make 1 page. The thread would have ^^ Amounts of pages due to stories.

Hmmm... I didn't think about that... I'll see if I can fix it.

I don't agree with it being spamming.
As I understand,spamming is the posting of gibberish/irrelevent/identical posts in repeated succession.
