InfoAge HAUNTED HOTEL
  is coming back!!

    The InfoAge first Haunted Hotel was enjoyed by all and was a great success.    So we have summoned the ghosts back to a second year.  (Click on photos to see some of last year's event).

    Fright Master Nels and Fright Mistress Judy Warren are busy raising the evil spirits of Camp Evans. They are preparing a fami­ly friendly Halloween experience inside the haunted Marconi Hotel for kids and parents. If you dare to visit, the hotel will be open 7 to 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 12, 13, 19, 20, 26, and 27. The $10 donation will be used to help InfoAge continue preserving  Camp Evans historic district and to support the Drama Clubs at Wall, Shore Regional, Monmouth Regional, and Mater Dei High Schools..

     The horror will start in the main hallway.  In the lobby vis­itors will hear the funeral piano and see people drinking witch's brew, their last drink. In the gutsy kitchen guests will meet the deranged rook preparing his body part stew. In the cobweb filled dining hall the spirits are dancing for eternity.  As you leave the dining hall you will decend the hotel pizzia stairway to walk to the hell for evil Priates, where they wait for you to intice you to join their crew.  Visitors’ next walk into the jungle of death filled with ugly creatures and evil BRAC officials.  Then down the endless hallway to Hades to see the wed­ding of the departed sprits and other former guests of the hotel hanging around. Then they will be taken into the dungeon to see the poor victims on the rack, in a stock and strapped into an electric chair. If you arc allowed to leave the dungeon, you will be escorted past the spider room, the vampire bat room and the mad scientist "High Voltage" laboratory. Finally the tour, just like life, ends in a Cemetery.

     The evil and haunting at Camp Evans arises from the Indian buri­als, the deaths on the site, and the spirits of enemy soldiers killed by secret weapons designed there. Possibly more dangerous are the aliens and UFOs which have regularly visited Camp Evans since 1946.

     Are the Indian spirits still angry over losing their land?  In the1880s, Asbury Park Press publisher InfoAge volunteer, Bill Burke, gets ready for Halloween in the haunted Marconi Hotel with two of his frightful friends.
 
   Hugh Kinmouth died along the stream and walks the property looking for stories late at night. During World War II Col. Paul Watson died in the Marconi Hotel. Has his ghost left the hotel? Does he know his radar helped win that war? During World War I and World War II  secret inventions developed at Camp Evans enabled the Allied Armed Forces to kill millions of enemy airmen, sailors and soldiers. Will they visit on Halloween seeking revenge? Is the ghost of the Nazi spy captured in Camp Evans and later shot still waiting to be picked by a U boat?

     Many believe the Project Diana radar signals sent from Camp Evans in 1946 alerted aliens of Man’s existence on earth. Former Shore resident and actor Jack Nicholson stated in the classic film "Easy Rider" that "They've been coming here ever since 1946 — when the scientists first started bouncing radar beams off the moon. And they've been livin' and working amongst us in vast quanti­ties ever since. The government knows all about 'em:”. Will the aliens be friendly when you visit?

      Dressed in Halloween costumes to help your fright experience are members of the Shore Regional High School Shore Players, members ot the National Thespian Honor Society, Wall High School Chapter and members of the Wall Township Boy Scouts.  The proceeds from the event will help InfoAge, help support this years plays by the Shore Players and the Wall Thespian Society and help with Boy Scout activities.

      Are you willing to visit Camp Evans to see the spirits, ghost and evil kept hidden the rest of the year? InfoAge and Fright Master Nels and Fright Mistress Judy Warren invite you to visit.

     Last years Haunted Hotel was a great success.  This was due to the dedication and talent of Judy and Nels Warren.  Affectionately titled our Fright Mistress and Fright Master.  A multitude of InfoAge members and friends helped get the site ready for our honored ghouls and the 1600 guests. 

    An emense amount of creativity was the key to transforming the historic Marconi hotel and the WW2 Administion Annex building into a frightfull walk.   Carpenter Bill Burke turned old plywood into tomb stones, a  torture rack,  a guillotine and other assorted items designed to scare the timid. 

    Using props, paint, spider webs and Halloween items room after room were made to look evil and possessed by spirits.

     No Haunted Hotel would be complete without ghouls and ghosts.  The Shore Regional Players and the Wall High Thespians came dressed to haunt and frighten the guests who were brave enough to enter.
