Description:

In the late 1700s, Reverend William Richardson was the pastor of a local church. One day, his wife, Agnes, went into his study – and found him strangled to death! Although some thought he had committed suicide, others became suspicious. There were whispers that Agnes was a witch. All of this led to one of the last witch trials in America.
To this day, no one knows what happened to poor Rev Richardson. All we know is that his ghost is not at rest!
Did he kill himself, or was it someone else … if so, who?
From Rev Richardson’s gravestone:
He lived to Purpose
He preach’d with Fidelity
He pray’d for his People
And being dead, he speaks

Reviews of escape game "The Haunting" 4

The haunting was by far one of the best horror escape rooms I’ve been to! It reminds me of the movie Megan is missing. My nieces thoroughly enjoyed, definitely will be back!

Great experience! New horror room (The Haunting) was a lot of fun as well as challenging! Great atmosphere and full of surprises! Would recommend!

We were very impressed by “The Haunting”. It was appropriately challenging, and the rooms were well-designed. Clues were given if requested. Rooms were spooky, but my 13-year-old girls enjoyed this puzzle too. We read a bit beforehand about Waxhaw’s own Reverend William Richardson, and that was very helpful in helping to solve the mystery as well. Sam was a great host who made us feel welcome and he explained the escape room well. He was clearly invested in helping us all have fun! I wish we didn’t live so far away because we’d like to visit all of Waxhaw Escape’s rooms. Check out Waxhaw Escape today!
