Preshow

The first preshow:
The first preshow is inside the jeep's trailer. Inside it's full of electronics and distinguished devices, probably owned by the Institute of Metaphysical Research, and two TV screens. Lights flicker and die, the TV screens come alive showing a video. It's Dr X. explaining that the visitors are part of the investigation team who will be looking for the research team that is missing since the night before. During his speech footage is shown filmed by the missing team. You see them enter the building, until something strange occurs. Team members start screaming and the camera drops to the floor. The attraction employee presents himself as one of the remaining members of the team, guiding you through the house entering the second preshow.

The second preshow:
The second preshow is in one of the convents corridors. Visitors walk a very long, dark, and hidden corridor. Lights flicker when all team members are in, and the first preshow's door slams close. Here is explained that this is the location where the team was last seen alive. Lights die, and from above two creepy skeletons come floating down, and are lighted up by ultra violet lighting (This is by far the worst special effect of the attraction, you can observe the railing behind the arms, but the simplicity is enough to cause a scary moment for the visitors. It's a pity such poor effects remain so many years after opening.) Lights are turned back on, and you are guided to the third preshow.

The third preshow:
The third preshow is in the convent's library. The library is dark and dusty, and even stranger, it has no books. The remaining member places visitors in the centre of the room, away from the walls. A painting hangs on the wall, flanked by lights. Light is dimmed, and the painting comes alive. An old man, the animatronic, warns about a curse ruled over this house, and proclaims the visitor's fate. (Lip synchronisation of the animatronic is devilish, none of the animatronics are bad, but limited.) Look up the ceiling, there they are, the missing members of the research team. The floor starts moving, light enters through cracks in the floor, and the room is filled with smoke. Visitors are asked to enter the chapel of the convent through one of the two corridors.
