Geocache Description:


MYSTERY MANSION

Before you stands a house of mystery, full of spectral lore and rich history.

Twas a dark and stormy night when the house was locked up tight. Cries for help rang through the air and were read by a geocacher…standing there! 

Seeking answers are the spirits of three, find the book that can set them free. 

 

Puzzle 1 Lock 1

It can't be seen, can't be felt, can't be heard and can't be smelt. It lies behind stars and under hills, and empty holes it fills. It comes first and follows after, ends life and kills laughter. What is it?

It cannot be seen whenever it's there, it fills up the room much like the air. What am I?

It cannot be touched, there is nothing to hear. It is quite harmless, there is nothing to fear. What is it?

 

The answer to all three is the  _ _ _ _.

 

Puzzle 2 Lock 2

Puzzle 3 Inside book

To open the final lock and seize your prize, you must look with a detective’s eyes. Identify the spirits of the three with simple clues that you can see. 

1st digit: I was once brave and bold, with red ribbons in hair of gold.

2nd digit: I was often worried and down, hair of white and a constant frown. 

3rd digit: I was a veterinarian who was skilled and wise, my rosy cheeks blushed under sad blue eyes.
