NEWS FROM OUR LOCAL REPORTER
Mystery at Churchill House: Eleanor Blackwood Vanishes
HANTSPORT — The historic Churchill House has once again become the focus of unsettling whispers after the disappearance of Madame Eleanor Blackwood, famed paranormal researcher and last heir of the Blackwood line.
Eleanor was last seen three nights ago during a séance at the estate. Her notes, scattered across town, suggest she uncovered a chilling truth: once every 50 years, a rare planetary alignment thins the “Blackwood Veil,” the barrier between worlds.
She believed a secret society — The Order of the Eternal Veil — planned to use this year’s event to unleash an ancient entity. Eleanor vanished before she could warn the town.
With the Convergence fast approaching, the question lingers: Who pushed Eleanor into the veil — and can she be brought back?
Scavenger Hunt Overview
The terror doesn't stop at Churchill House
The shadows don’t end at the house.
This year there are 2 hunts on to help save Eleanor. Clues are hidden across the HMCC grounds and throughout the streets of Hantsport…find them and you could rescue Eleanor and save Hantsport from a fate that would see its name etched in the history books of Nova Scotia.
In 1978, an entire class on a school field trip went missing for 43 minutes — reappearing in the churchyard, holding fragments of an unfamiliar map. This year, you can follow the trail yourself… if you dare.
But remember: when you search in the dark, the dark has a way of finding your fears!
