MY CRYPT
Built with the Worth Family in mind. This was the theme I came up with for my yard haunt.
A family of condemned witches from Salem Massachusetts. An entire family! The Worth's Lead by Mary Worth. She, Mary the eldest daughter of a Puritan Minister. Mary turned to the black art of witchcraft. Casting a spell over her entire family. They followed her into the dark world of black magic. Soon there after children from all over the surrounding area were reported to be missing and never to be seen alive again. During one of many searches for the children. George Corwin, Sheriff of Salem searched and found at the bottom of the Worth family well, the bones of 40 children. And in the smoke house they found meats of unknown type, size and portion. Twas the Children! Soon the entire family was put on trial for practicing black magic! Each had their day in court, Mary, Sara, Susannah, Rebecca, Jonathon and Samuel. Each was found guilty, Each had their date with the noose or burned at the stake. A year to the date, children once again were reported missing. They were never found. Until with suspicions and memories of not so long ago. With Sheriff George Corwin and a group of citizens on Halloween night two years after her execution armed with a warrant. They entered the Worth family crypt and exhumed Mary's grave. In her coffin they found the bones of the missing children. But Mary's remains were not to be found! To this day they say that on Halloween eve and night you can hear the children weeping from within Mary Worth's coffin. Oh yeah, It was a common practice to place a red rose in coffins with the remains of executed witches in hopes that it would cleanse their souls. Mary Worth's rose had not wilted, not even a little bit not to this day, but it did turn black!

The cursed incantation of Mary Worth's damned soul!
It is said that if on Hollow's Eve at the strike of twelve, have a candle lit,
one to your right, one to your left,
facing a mirror of your vanity.
Beware, say naught this name ten times if ye wish not to see the demon, And if indeed ye wish to gaze upon hells daughter, Well then. Holding a cross upside down pressed against your heart, you must sayeth this name not once, but ten times.
"Mary Worth"
and in your mirror of vanity she, the daughter of hell fire will appear behind thee holding her child of black heart, soul and eyes, Smelling of rot and sulfur. Turn naught to face her nor scream for then she shall have you because!
She hath come for you!
