Coming soon to Stokes County: “Hollywood Haunted Murder” — a theatrical thriller in two acts.
Welcome to Goldenleaf, a Virginia vacation home built in the 1930s by tobacco millionaire Randolph Swann for himself and his bride, film star Colleen Sullivan. She died in the house in 1952, and her ghost still walks the halls and grounds. The only person who can see Colleen is Jeremy Billis, Goldenleaf’s young caretaker. All is well at the house until Colleen overhears Goldenleaf’s new owner plotting a cold-blooded murder. Desperate to stop this horrific crime from happening, Colleen enlists Jeremy’s help to uncover enough evidence to nail the would-be killer. But time is running out for our amateur detectives. Do they have a ghost of a chance?
