Haunted houses, mazes, and treasures in pumpkins!

As October hastens down the track of time passing, and November saunters onto the horizon brightly, there may be a few things, yet, to be explored in Second Life that could very well chill your blood, and cause you to shriek.  Try your patience and stout heart to exploring the haunted house and corn maze on Seattle sim, or maybe test your courage at Devil's Labyrinth, Haunted Castle Maze on Rivata.

And, when you are done being frightened out of your wits, perhaps you will test your skills of treasure hunting on the grid wide Pumpkin Hunt, Oct. 31- Nov 2.
