Ravenswood Manor

Ravenswood Manor is the setting of Phantom Manor at Disneyland Paris. It was once the home of Henry Ravenswood and his family, now abandoned and haunted by the ghosts of those who lived in Thunder Mesa.

Background
Henry Ravenswood built a grand estate on the highest hill in Thunder Mesa, overlooking his mining empire. He moved into it with his wife, Martha, and his daughter, Melanie. His daughter grew up in the house, under the watchful eyes of her father. It was attended by a large waitstaff, serving the masters of the house. When Henry and Martha were killed in the earthquake of 1860 and when Melanie disappeared, the house was left abandoned, rotting away as the years went by. Rumors began to spread that the manor was haunted. Locals gave it a nickname - Phantom Manor.

People who wandered into the manor told stories about a mysterious Phantom who haunted the halls, tormenting the grieving bride, Melanie, and wanting them to join them in the afterlife. Some who wandered into the house never came out, like a bandit. The disappearances grew so numerous that Sheriff Will Ketchum closed the manor to the public for an investigation. Three groups went into the manor. The first fled the manor out of fear. The second were never seen again. The third concluded that all of the ghosts were hallucinations and it wasn't haunted. Feeling reassured, Ketchum opened the manor once more, allowing the public to venture back into its hallowed halls.

Notable Locations
A gazebo sits next to the house, with a set of china inside. A covered walkway leads to the porch and the front door of the manor.

The Secret Room features portraits of Melanie and her fiances. It is opened through a hidden door in the foyer. When the doors close, the room seems to stretch and the portraits seem to change.

The Portrait Gallery houses portraits of Ravenswood, paintings of Thunder Mesa, and fine art. They appear to change, but it's only a trick of the light. At the end of the hallway, a portrait of Melanie in her wedding dress sits on the wall.

The Grand Staircase sits against a window, with a storm raging outside.

The Corridor of Doors is a narrow hallway dotted with doors and portraits. A hallway that appears to be endless is nearby, along with knight's armor.

The Ballroom features a portrait of the manor in its golden years, sitting above a balcony, a dining table, and an organ.

Melanie's Boudoir is on the top most floor, with all of her personal items, including letters between her, her father, and her fiance.

The Boot Hill is a cemetery for the people of Thunder Mesa. The graves of Henry and Martha Ravenswood can be found here.
