In 1898 Dr. Winston Newport built
Newport Manor. This
mansion became a showcase for the many wonders (and horrors) that he
acquired in his world travels. A true eccentric, Dr. Newport used his home for experiments
in mind control, teleportation, and dead tissue reanimation. For years local residents heard ghastly screams emanating from
the property, earning the unofficial name of the “Chamber of
Horrors”.
On October 31, 1922 a fire broke out in the
west wing, killing many of the servants and family members. Dr Newport disappeared and
was never heard from again. The entire home was abandoned and remained vacant for many
years.
Although attempts to remodel the home have been tried, a dark and
evil presence seems to inhabit this building. Many tortured souls can be seen roaming the halls and it is
rumored that Dr. Newport still conducts his hideous experiments
within!
Now in our third year!
Come join us for the scare of a lifetime as the Peninisula
Jaycees present "NEWPORT MANOR: Chamber of Horrors!" Proceeds from this event go to support Camp Virginia and other state and local charities.
