In 1882 noted developer and land grabber William P. Higgins III made his way westward. From the moment he arrived, Master Higgins made no friendly acquaintances. Almost immediately, he began a series of unscrupulous business moves that pushed the native people off their land to make way for a growing citrus industry.
His first order of business was to build a grand mansion in the flatlands, and for many years, it was the most lavish home in all of Orange County. But from there, it was all down hill for Master Higgins and his family. Many say that the natives placed a curse on the family as well as the estate.
In the years following, his family began dying from mysterious causes. After the death of his wife and unborn child, Master Higgins fell into a deep depression. He lived out the rest of his life in solitude On October 31, 1929 he died at the age of 93.
The mansion was eventually torn down. But every year on the anniversary of his death, the mansion reappears, and its inhabitants unleash a sickening pall of terror over the neighborhood.
