The checkered past of Morgan Grisly
Morgan Grisly
When he was eight years old, Morgan ran away from his less than happy life with his adopted parents. He stowed away on a circus train passing through town and was soon on his way to an incredibly interesting new life. It wasn't until the train had crossed half way across the country that Morgan was discovered. Eventually, Morgan was accepted by the Circus People and raised as one of their own children. Morgan worked very hard and learned everything about the sideshows, strange exhibits, exotic creatures, and eccentric people. When Morgan was old enough to travel on his own, he was sent to faraway lands to ``collect'' new ``exhibit pieces'' for the side shows. This exposed him to strange and bizarre creatures and places. He experienced more things of the unusual in his early life than most people could experience in a lifetime. This exposure to so much forbidden knowledge may have twisted Morgan's mind a bit left of center. He realized it would be best for everyone involved if he left his life with the sideshows and pursued a more stable and ``respectable'' career.
Morgan later became a highly respected taxidermist working for a prestigious museum in Pennsylvania for much of his adult life. After an unfortunate incedent that occurred in the museum in 1850, Morgan was publicly ridiculed and dismissed. He vowed that he'd prove his innocence, and that those responsible for his dismissal would pay dearly.
It was at this time that a travelling carnival was making its way along the east coast. As fate would have it, or by some twist of cosmic coincidence, Morgan visited the carnival in Haddonfield NJ. Morgan decided to join this travelling band of social outcasts. As it turned out some of the ancient clowns and performers were Morgan's ``circus family'', the same people he was raised by so many years ago. The next venue, in 1876 at a centenial celebration in a place called Memorial Hall in Philadelphia, saw the unveiling of :
Morgan Grisly's Magnificent Museum of Morbid Monstrosities
a most disturbing and twisted exhibit featuring various artifacts from Morgan's personal collection.
What is believed to be the relatively intact remains of this exhibit has been recently discovered when underground water caused the ground beneath a section of Memorial Hall to collapse exposing this forbidden treasure.
Why was it sealed away to be forgotten?
What strange terrible things could have happened there causing it to be struck from all historical records?
