Mazon is a very small, sleepy town with only about 1000 people in population. Some people may even use the term to describe Mazon as a farming community.

So naturally, one would think that not much of any interest has ever happened in such a small town. "The Dungeon of Terror" has been operating for several years now with an increase in our visitors every year. Some of the visitors will verify what I am about to tell you as they have witnessed some of these events. It is up to you if you choose to believe what I am about to tell you. There have been many strange happenings in the building "The Dungeon of Terror" is located in. As a matter of fact, we have had several volunteers who will not come back after witnessing unexplainable events.

In the beginning, we would just hear noises and no matter how hard we searched, we could never explain those noises. Then we started hearing real faint talking, you almost had to strain in order to hear it. Again, no matter where we searched, we could not find the source. Sometimes we would hear arguing, sometimes we would hear crying and moaning but again it would be so faint we would have to stain in order to hear it.

The longer "The Dungeon of Terror" has been operating, the more strange things keep happening. But I should start at the beginning. In the early 1900's this building was an opera theatre where it has been rumored that a beautiful woman with long blonde hair caught her husband with another woman and went into a fit of rage. She slit the other woman's throat and then turned on her husband with the knife. She proceeded to stab him over and over until they both were lying in a pile of blood. She then stood over her husband and the other woman with blood everywhere and started crying uncontrollably when realizing what she had done. Now filled with remorse, she climbed to the roof of the building, tied a noose around her neck and then proceeded to jump off the roof and hang herself.

Visions of these three poor souls have been rumored to be seen and heard from that night on. But it doesn't end there. When the opera theatre house closed, everyone thought that would be the end of it but it wasn't. In the 1940's this building became a skating rink and the strange noises and events started happening again. Some will tell you they have seen the beautiful blonde standing at the side of the rink covered in blood crying. Others will tell you they hear crying and sobbing, yet others will tell you they hear faint arguing.

Also someone said they seen a man with a mustache and a pretty brunette and both had blood all over them. Then the skating rink closed and the strange unexplained events stopped or did they only stop because no one was here to see and hear them.

In the 1950's this building became a chain saw shop and small engine repair shop. The visions, crying and arguing started again. Chain saws would start in the back of the shop when no one would be back there. In the bath mirror the beautiful blonde covered in blood stared back. The man with the mustache and pretty brunette were seen running down the hall as if trying to escape from someone or something.

Now it is the present time where these three poor souls have been seen and heard here many, many times. And I am sure we will continue to see and hear these three poor souls many more times. We have had several visitors ask us where we had gotten several props only to find out that what they had seen was not a prop. Come and visit us at "The Dungeon of Terror" if you dare.
