1740 Farm Site – A Pleasant Evening Gone Wrong
The group will approach the 1740 site through the woods to the farm house and a nice fire. A couple will be singing mournful songs of Ireland. The couple will invite the group to sit and hear their story of their trials and tribulations of a hard journey from Ireland and dealing with a nasty horse thief in Augusta County. Yet the couple and their family are hopeful as they have just received a deed to 500 acres. Life is looking up or is it. The terror of the moment will change everyone forever.

Horse thief and French encampment – The War is Now
The group will be led to an encampment in the middle of the woods. Is it a Shawnee War Party encampment or something worse? Will a great massacre take place or something more terrifying occur? The woods are a scary place.

1820 Farmsite – Guests for Dinner
The group will thankfully make it to 1820’s farm house and be invited into the house by some charming children. Just as it seems everyone will be able to eat a nice meal a terrifying event will take place making the group leave fearing for their lives.

Schoolhouse – An Important Life Lesson
The group will be invited into the school house. A great crime has been committed or has it. The significance of the crime will have consequences for everyone in the room. The group will hear an import life lesson that will haunt them for the rest of their lives.
