Video details The Haunted Sawmill:

Boy Scout Troop 599 has created a wonderful scary haunted house based on the mass murderer Vincent known as Skullface.  The Haunted Sawmill has both children’s and adult paths through the haunt.  The primary story is that Vincent had grown up with multiple personalities as a child.  Vincent was a descendant of the dark local legend of Dr. Holmes.  Vincent fell in love with Louise but the rich kid Dorian and a few of his friends objected and beat Vincent to near death.  As he recovered in the dark basement of the local sawmill his spirit was captured by the underworld.  Disfigured and wearing a skull-faced mask he attacked Dorian with an ax.  You can figure the rest but Dorian was never seen again and now anyone who ventures into the sawmill disappears.  You have been warned.  Read the full report at The Haunted Sawmill.
