So back on May 5th I managed to digitally reverse engineer and expand upon the upcoming Creator set 31167 - Haunted Mansion. I gave it a back half, some furniture, a removable modular base with a pine tree, and a ghostly inhabitant: Dr. Henry Pepper. Who was that you ask? Stay tuned to find out! The house in all it's spooky glory. The base with the house removed. The house removed from it's base. This is the front side. The rear portion of the house. The inside of the house in the front features a dining room and drawing room on the lower floor, with a large music room upstairs. The inside of the back half features a living room on the lower floor, with a bedroom and library on the second floor. Harold Pepper, PhD, was a professor of geology at the University of Chicago. I say 'was', as his mysterious death at his family home in St. Louis in 1894 was most puzzling for police, as no signs of foul play were discovered, and no suicide note was ever found. Even his cause of death was undetermined, he just simply dropped dead after eating breakfast. Suspicion focused first on the breakfast and later, on a mysterious, odd-looking doll found in the garbage pail that no one in his family has recollected seeing before. After the funeral, it appears the late Dr. Pepper refused to leave the premises and move on. His spirit has occasionally haunted the house ever since, with most sightings being around his date of his death. However, in the family is it generally said that if he is seen outside that date, someone in the family's death is near. As of 2025, the house has been abandoned for ten years, with the windows boarded up and doors locked. Urban explorers have entered the premises illegally, and have reported the ghost of Dr. Pepper to be quite agitated at the intruders and or the state of the house's decay. He might even be considered a poltergeist, chasing one group of vandals from the house by throwing things at them as they ran away. The mysterious doll. (NOTE: The above story is totally fictional. Any relation to any real persons, living or dead, is unintentional and completely coincidental. The ghostly Dr. Pepper mini-fig is named after two things: my favorite soda and the Pepper's Ghost illusion technique.) Thoughts?
