The Fairbrook Manor has a cast of 34 volunteer actors \u2014 ranging from 11 to 35 years old \u2014 who realistically portray the ghouls and ghosts of kidnapped children, creepy toys and dolls throughout the halls of the 1947 mansion. Duck created the lore behind Fairbrook Manor, based on a real Long Beach resident named Victoria Fairbrook. For the sake of the haunted house, the story goes that James Fairbrook and his two children drowned in the lake behind the mansion, leaving Victoria in a delusional craze, luring local children into her home. Entry to the mansion is free, but visitors are encouraged to bring canned goods, toiletries or a $5 cash donation to benefit the Long Beach Rescue Mission<\/a>. If you spook easily, check their social media<\/a> to see when they are hosting \u201cno scares\u201d daytime tours. (The Fairbrook Manor<\/a>, 5426 E.
