October 21, 1912

It’s been three years since Rebecca Dorrington’s mysterious death.  Rebecca’s widower, John Gardner decided to sell the Dorrington Hotel shortly after her death., to insatiable art fanatic and eccentric millionaire Baily Burnes, a longtime family friend.  Bailey is hosting a soiree in honor of the anniversary of the hotel’s reopening one year ago and you are cordially invited to attend.

Rebecca’s aura has been sensed throughout the hotel since the reopening as she is distraught that the hotel has been sold.  There have also been reports of ill-spirited apparitions, steamy pockets of strange mist causing feelings of dread, sudden drops of temperature and terrifying voices that echo in the corridors during the wee hours.  Other than that, the old hotel is once again becoming the place to be in beautiful downtown Dorrington.  The infamous Quinn Bloom is on the VIP guest list and will bring a rare doll collection  to the hotel—but don’t let the dolls bother you—the dreadful rumors about them may not even be true.

Rebecca believes that she is the only “one” to wander the corridors of the Dorrington Hotel, but is she really?  You wouldn’t want to miss this party for the world!
