Duchess Manor - Haunted House

TICKETS - CLICK HERE

The fog clings thick to the ground like a veil, muffling sound and twisting shadows into eerie silhouettes across The Arboretum of South Barrington. Once a bustling outdoor lifestyle center, the Arboretum now feels hollow, haunted by an unseen presence that whispers through the trees and rattles the locked doors after dark. Ever since the staff unearthed that ornate, iron key buried beneath the floorboards of the old storefront, strange occurrences have plagued The Arb, lights flickering without power and a low, sorrowful wail echoing at midnight. But the true horror lies beyond that hidden door they opened, revealing a narrow passage descending into the forgotten Duchess’ Manor.

Duchess had always been a mystery and rarely seen outside her home. Unbeknownst to anyone, she had secretly constructed a sprawling estate within the shopping center during its early development. Over time, isolation took its toll. Duchess slowly unraveled, descending into madness. She began hearing voices in the walls, accusing glances from mirrors, and scratching sounds beneath the floorboards. She then barricaded herself inside and began to rot in darkness alive, but not sane.

Now, the air inside the manor is thick with the remnants of that madness. Shoppers near the vacant storefront report hearing frantic whispers and laughter coming from inside. Duchess may be long dead, but her madness lingers like a stain, infecting all who enter. As you wind through their crumbling halls, you’ll witness scenes of their final days, frantic scrawlings on the walls, rooms left mid-meal, shattered mirrors reflecting something that isn’t there. Duchess lost her mind…and now, she wants yours. Welcome to Duchess Manor. Once you step inside, you may never truly leave.
