Villersham House Ballroom - A Room Download
In 1834, Viscount Virgil Villersham commissioned the esteemed architect, Marvin Moore, to build a stately home as a wedding gift for his second son, Vice-Admiral Victor Villersham of the Royal Navy, and his betrothed, Veronica Veasley of the Veasley Baronetcy. Atop the Forgotten Hollow hill, Villersham House was completed in 1838 with architectural elements taken from the Gothic Revival and Second Empire styles. Following their lavish wedding, Victor and Veronica Villersham moved into Villersham House and began a family of their own.
After giving birth to 2 still-born sons, Virgil and Verges, the Villershams bore a baby girl in 1842 โ Victoria. Proving to be bright and talented at a young age, Victoria eventually blossomed into a lovely young lady and dreamed of attending the Music Conservatory in neighboring Willow Creek to further her aptitude for the piano-forte. However, after the untimely death of her parents, and without any male heirs to inherit the Villersham and Veasley fortunes, Victoria was found an advantageous marriage to a mysterious and mature foreign aristocrat, Vladimir Volkov, and they were married on November 12th of 1861 during an intimate and modest ceremony.
In the early hours following their wedding night, a chilling wail was heard from the Villersham House Ballroom. The manorโs butler hastened to the ballroom, only to find Victoriaโs body suspended from the lavish Louis XIV chandelier. With no trace left of Vladimir Volkov (or the Villersham/Veasley fortune), Villersham House was left in disrepair and squalor following Victoriaโs tragic death.
According to superstition, when looking at Villersham House from the bottom of Forgotten Hollow Hill on a stormy night, Victoriaโs macabre silhouette can be seen through the grand windows of the ballroom standing by the limestone mantle of the hall, illuminated only by an ominous flash of lightning. Reports from teens brave enough to sneak into the deserted manor state that Victoriaโs melancholic piano-forte melodies can be heard echoing through the deserted halls of her familyโs abandoned home. And upon further investigation, these same sources find the ballroomโs silent piano-forte lit by a lone candle-flame whose origin cannot be explainedโฆ
