Sitting here amidst the empty boxes and torn wrapping paper, I can’t help but be a bit sad that another Christmas has come and gone. But before we take down the tree and pack away the ornaments, there is time for one last gift – another new murder mystery theme for the 2016-2017 season!

If it seems too good to be true I assure you it’s not. Believe me. Or don’t. Either way, the truth is out there…

Ravenwood Castle is a quiet vacation destination set amidst the forests of central Ohio. But lately, the locals have begun to wonder if the castle is a destination for more than just tourists. Strange unexplained lights have been seen moving in the sky over the castle at night. Some more eccentric residents even claim to have seen alien figures in the nearby woods.

At first these sightings were dismissed as the product of overactive imaginations – or too much holiday cheer. But then the disappearances began. At first it was just a string of missing pets. Then a few hikers set out for a day trip but never returned. Just last week, three residents in the nearby town went missing in the night. One was found two days later, wandering lost and aimless through the woods, with no idea where he was or how he’d got there.

Local authorities are at a loss, and have called in the Ravenwood Detective Agency for assistance in the investigation.

What is causing the mysterious disappearances? Are there other victims still out there waiting to be found, or have they met a sinister end? Is there a logical explanation for what’s happening, or is something unearthly going on? Believers and skeptics alike are invited to join the Ravenwood Detective Agency March 17^th & 18^th to find out!

Join us March 17^th & 18^th for Death is Out There, an X-Files themed murder mystery weekend! Tickets for Death is Out There are $100, and include Saturday night’s dinner. As with all of our mysteries, the event starts with dinner on Friday. Late arrivals will be accommodated as best as possible, but to enjoy the full experience please attempt to arrive early Friday evening.

And stay tuned for announcements of even more exciting mystery announcements for the 2016-2017 season!
