Okay first is our backstory...not sure where others are posting theirs so started this thread.

Bryon Winterhaven was a simple man who just wanted to settle down and have a family. When Bryon was a mere 20yrs old he met Louise Clayton. They quickly fell in love. There was little glitch in their relationship though. It seems that Louise was already pregnant by another fellow at the time she met Bryon. The man who was responsible for the pregnancy had refused to have anything further to do with her, as he was now in prison. Bryon did not care, and the two began their lives together. Soon a son was born. Liam Clayton was born on June 6th 1962 with blond hair and green eyes, unfortunately he resembled his father. Bryon was doing all he could to make it work with Louise and he desperately wanted to make them a family. But as hard as he tried he could not get Louise to commit to a wedding date. Bryon knew she loved him but something always seemed to be missing. Two years later much to Bryon’s dismay Louise told him she was pregnant again. Bryon tried to act happy, but underneath that smile was something he could not hide from those who knew him. Everyone but Louise seemed to realize how important marriage was to Bryon. Jacob Winterhaven was born on April 1st 1964 with a look identical to his father dark eyes and hair to match. Finally, in the fall of 1966 Louise agreed to a wedding date. They decided to get married in the spring of 1967. Bryon was left taking care of the wedding planning. Louise stayed in the shadows. She was always complaining, saying the boys were such a problem and that’s why she couldn’t help. In a small town like Riverview of course the rumor that she did not want to marry Bryon at all was spreading like wildfire. Bryon was happier than anyone that the day had finally arrived. On May 17th 1967 at 1:00 P.M. the guests were gathered at Winterhaven Manor awaiting the arrival of the bride. Louis finally made it, but was over an hour late. Bryon had completely lost it. We don’t really know for sure, but we think Bryon saw her tardiness as a sign of disrespect. He went to the brides’ ready room and kicked out the bridesmaids and maid of honor. You could hear the yelling, even upstairs. What happened next was inconceivable. Bryon came out of the ready room covered in tears. He took Liam and Jacob by their hands and dragging them, returned to the room. Then Bryon locked the door. At first you could only hear more yelling, and then the screams began. First just Louise, but then the boys soon joined her. You could hear the bangs and thumps on the door and walls through the whole building. Some of the men tried breaking down the door, but it was no use, the door would not budge. All of a sudden the screams stopped. There was almost a full minute of silence before they heard the boys knocking on the door. They said daddy had broken the handle and they could not open it. The butler was looking for the key as friends talked to the boys through the door and told them it was alright and they would be out soon. They said they were not scared, but that mommy and daddy had gone. When the door was opened, the people closest to the door began to scream and get sick. The boys came out of the room covered in blood from head to toe, behind them lay their mother, also covered in blood. Bryon had hung himself in the corner of the room; it appeared that he had cut off one of his fingers so he could write the words, FOR LOUISE MY LOVE on the wall. The boys, both with vacant expressions, were taken to the hospital. Try as they might to keep the boys together, they had no surviving family. Liam’s father had been beaten to death in prison, so there were no other options. They were put in foster care until adoptions could be arranged. Liam now 5 was adopted by the Olson family, and Jacob 3, by the Stevenson family. Neither family changed anything except their last names, and both families thought it best to raise the boys as their own, and never speak of the bloodbath wedding again. Winterhaven Manor has remained vacant ever since. The people of Riverview all remember that horrid day. It doesn’t help matters that whenever you walk past the Manor at night, apparitions of Bryon and Louise move about the grounds startling all who pass.
