Creepy Halloween Ghost Hunt Graveyard Contains 15,000 Naked Mannequins

It's often said, "When life gives you a salvage yard full of 15,000 mannequins, make a haunted house."

This might not resonate with everyone, but for Roz Edwards of the United Kingdom, it certainly does.

Edwards runs "Mannekin," a business where she buys, restores, and then sells or leases mannequins and dummies to shops and creatives. Speaking to The Independent, she detailed her salvage yard in Fulbeck, Lincolnshire, which some visitors found to be somewhat unsettling.

“I’m known as the mad mannequin woman and it's just kind of grown over the years,” she said.

That is precisely what inspired her to transform the site into an immersive Halloween experience, she said.

“I must admit, it is quite eerie when you go through the yard and there are models some without arms, or heads piled up all around you. So we thought it was quite a fitting location for a spooky experience which we believe is quite unique,” Edwards told the news outlet.

The mannequin dealer first created a Halloween experience within the salvage yard last year but has rebooted the event to have a mystery game element a la Clue this year. 

Those wishing to tour the yard can pay $18.23 (£15) for an hour-long eerie walk through the site as they encounter a series of clues they must solve to determine which suspect is behind a murder. There will, of course, be thousands of mannequins dressed in various creepy costumes.

The event "We’ve Found A Body" is scheduled for October 28 and 29, as reported by The Independent.

“I decided to put on a Halloween experience after people who began visiting in the daytime began asking me if it was scary at night. Well, this is your chance to find out,” Edwards said.

Those across the pond still have a chance to join in the spooky event by purchasing a ticket to follow the event online over Zoom and sending messages to players as they walk through the course.

“Anyone walking past will think the mannequin is talking,” the event page explained.

Participants will be tasked with solving the murder mystery in a life-size, immersive Clue board.

“You have to go around the different rooms as a detective to figure out who did it from six suspects, with what weapon, and in what room,” Edwards told The Independent.
