Stumbled upon by two lost hikers, during a freak thunderstorm, they knocked on the door and a voice behind it said…….we’ve been waiting for you!. Don’t forget to pay your bill…….Nightmare Knoll tells a story of campers sitting around a campfire. There is something moving in the woods………you’ve heard the stories……they may come true…..Lastly Swampwalk where Stanley Burger went to get away from the office and do some research. He didn’t know that the dirt beneath his nails would be from his own unsuccessful attempt to struggle to survive.
