If you are faint of heart, or fearful of the unkown ....or perhaps afraid to be scared to death......please stop here and do not continue.....for this is a tale so frighting, so bizarre, and yet so possible.....you may never want to look in your closet again...................Just a warning before you enter......
THE


It started over 300 year ago, no one knows quite sure...perhaps in France or....... who knows.  But the tale says it was of a wealthy young man who lived in a grand house 'Raven's Beak' .....some even called it a castle ...and that he was murdered by a jilted lover or perhaps a servant girl who gave herself freely but was fired instead of rewarded.  The young man was found hanging in the courtyard........and buried in a casket with half a map to a secret treasure.....

In 1919 the silent film star Louie Fontaine (the e is silent too) made a fortune in Hollywood and he had Raven's Beak taken apart stone by stone and reassembled on a mountain over looking the ocean thirty miles south of San Francisco....



It glimmered in the bright sun during the day.......



The ocean air danced on the vast grounds with cannons  and statues and other fine things......





But at night........yes at night......



Things would change............One could hear laughter as if it were a party........voices......much like a dinner party......but the voice were French perhaps but foreign just the same......



As the sun would start it's fall into the sea.....the laughter would get louder.......

I shall step away and let you spend the evening alone .......at 'Raven' Beak'



"I see young Peter has been seen with the pantry maid...."



""It appears that Peter had been seen with many young maidens...."



"I wouldn't be surprized if some poor jealous suiter should seek a duel with Peter.....or perhaps worse......"



"You're not suggesting.........."



"The converstation is getting rather dreary.....lets drink......did anybody bring a flute...?"



"Shall we move into the sitting room then......"



"Hear!....Hear!..........."

*********************************

Did you hear the voices of the dinner party too?........I thought you would.....did you go upstairs yet?......go on..nothing to be afraid off......



"Turn to your right and head for the room on the end.....Oh...and say hello to Peter.....that's him in the painting.....you can even see the rope that was used to strangle him.....I don't think a maiden would be strong enough to strangle a grown young lad......do you?"



"Peter almost looks alive dosen't he...............be careful of Peter....."



"They say that is the casket that Peter was buried in.....do you want to read his note?"



"That wasn't necessary was it.........you don't have to read Peter's note.....he writes it every night on all the rooms at Raven's Beak.....in blood........."
