| Welcome to my Halloween Tactic's! |
| This is the web site of Mistress Muffy, a direct descendant of Barnabus Collins, a family with a past of long held secrets and dark days. Although her name is really Deborah Collins, she prefers to go by her nickname Mistress Muffy. Years ago to the notoriety of the notorious Collins Family and the publicity after the fire, a TV show was created by a man who found a great interest in this mysterious families history. The show was called "Dark Shadows". The Mistress resides on the property where the Collins mansion once stood many years ago before the fire. Most of the family was gone by that time, although they do still make frequent visits to the Mistress. They are the people of the night! The Mistress still runs the family business "Collins Chocolates". She continues to carry on in the tradition of her ancestors making fine chocolates that European Royalty ate through the centuries. She has now moved the family business back to where its roots originated in this country. In the fire everything was lost, so a new house was built and much of the land was sold off with the exception of Collinwood Forest, a dark and gloomy piece of land that runs for miles surrounding the house. Collinwood is inhabitated by something terrible, something of other worldy powers. Vengeance roars in the air. Some very questionable things have taken place in the last 50 years, mainly around Hallow's Eve. Along the very unusual stories local folk tell, some have been more unfortunate in not being able to tell their tale, The house has been cared for by a group of caretakers who's families have worked for the Collins Family for centuries. The relatives of these caretakers came from Europe with the Collins Family back in the early 1700's. |
| People have been told not to trepass on the property but have paid no attention to the warnings.....those are the ones who have never been seen again. There is a string of unsolved cases that seem to always occur during the Halloween season. After years of closing and re-opening these cases, the local Sheriff's office fears what this Hallow's Eve may bring. Once again locals are asked to stay clear of the heavy forest and not trepass on this mysterious piece of land. What lurks in that forest? A place of strange howling sounds, even during the bright of day. Even the Mistress never strays far from the grounds of the main house, for she too is not sure what creeps beyond. |
| The Mistress who is a gourmet candymaker works in a large section of the wine cellar that still was left intact when the old house burned. That is where "Collins Chocolates" is now being built. For many years the Mistress had left her native homeland, she was gone for over 30 years trying to leave the horrid Collins history behind her, but somehow this eerie piece of land and its Collins Family history always calls you back. Faith always pulls you back here again and again, and she is tired of argueing with it. The new house was completed 2 years ago and now with a lot of the property sold off, there is a residential area right in the middle of this very unsafe place. New housing sub divisions go up all the time.....who of its new residents look into the local history. No one seemed worried until an 8 year old little girl disappeared in the forest on a dare by her friends only to never be seen again. Not a trace of her.......nothing. Another unsolved case. More have followed, more missing children completely disappearing. |

| It is well known that the Collins Mansion, with its dark history cast a shadow across all the lives of the towns inhabitants. The Mansion was the base of everything that had happened in the history of this bleak area. Now Hallow's Eve approaches again and we wait......to see what will happen. Mistress Muffy does not want to alarm any of the locals so as the nature of the Collins Family to keep family secrets hidden well, still it makes for a constant worriesome mind that even with the new house being built, she had hoped that all the darkness from the old house blew up in the flames and would forever be banished. That I am afraid is not the case. After the new house was built things started to happen. At first it was just the noises in the middle of the night. Then things started getting moved from place to place which eventually led into them disappearing all together. The noises at night have became louder and now the Mistress, not admitting to a single soul, that the house is taking on the characteristics of the old house, the very house she fled from more than 30 years ago. Doors close for no apparent reason at all when you turn your back to them, and there are patches of cold air scattered thru out the house in places where no draft could possibly reach. There is some pounding on the walls after midnight. Cries of children can sometimes be heard. Something makes the Collins dogs go into barking frenzies when there appears to be nothing there at all. At times the dogs run and just hide. The dogs will also not venture beyond the yard into Collinwood Forest. |

| The old Doctor is in Collinwood for the annual Collins Family Hallow's Eve Party. He is a very dear and old friend of the family and the only person Mistress Muffy can confide in. He seems to feel that the presence of a Collins Family member residing back in the house may encourage it to manifest its mysterious qualities more freely. His advice to Mistress Muffy is....."A closed mind is the worst defense against the Supernatural." So thats what we are understanding here...that whatever is here resides here in whatever stands on this property. Its like the house is possessed by the land, held captive by its mystery. This will be the ongoing saga of Mistress Muffy's trials and tribulations to live out the rest of her life in the house that is taking on a life of its own. To continue to run the family business of "Collins Chocolates" until it is ready to be turned over to David's children. They will be the next generation to run the business. Our story will be about what Mistress Muffy lives through in her challenges to walk quietly through her reign in this evil and very dark place and if she will survive. |
