The locals believed that the manor was cursed, haunted by otherworldly beings. The enigmatic owner, Lord Montgomery, was known for his peculiar interests and eccentricities.
One fateful day, a renowned alienist named Dr. Evelyn Hartley received an intriguing invitation to Ravenwood Estate. Lord Montgomery sought her expertise in unraveling the mysteries that plagued his ancestral home. Driven by curiosity, Dr. Hartley accepted the invitation and embarked on a journey into the unknown.
Upon her arrival, Dr. Hartley was greeted by Lord Montgomery’s amanuensis, a diligent and discreet individual named Mr. Percival. He guided her through the dimly lit corridors, past the watchful eyes of the beadle, who guarded the secrets of the manor.
As Dr. Hartley delved deeper into the mysteries of Ravenwood Estate, she encountered a peculiar cast of characters. The cosmetologist, Miss Genevieve, possessed an uncanny ability to transform one’s appearance, hiding their true nature beneath a mask of beauty. The dermatologist, Dr. Sebastian, was obsessed with the preservation of flawless skin, even in the face of the supernatural.
