First madhouse in the world "Villa volta".
This madhouse tells the ledgend of the bokkerijders, a ledgend of robbers that terrorised the netherlands and belgium anno 1810...


Meet Hugo, the first Bokkerijder that's been cursed becose he and his develish partners, has stolen the gold of the church in "de loonche duinen".
A woman warned him that he never will find his eternal rest, if he will steal the churche's gold...but he didn't lissen.
Now he must pay.
The visitors are the only one who can help him.
Only if one good person with a clean mind will enter his cursed house, than he will rest in peace...
