Back in June a construction team in the Egypt area of Busch Gardens had to stop suddenly due to hitting something with their equipment. Busch Gardens then teamed up with A.U.R.A. to take over this investigation on what was hit and excavate if necessary. It was confirmed that a house over 200 years old was hit and historians believe it is the house of Scarlett, a woman trapped and buried in her home after accusations of using black magic. Explorations led by Dr. Bill Waldren have been taking place since than and found the house to be perfectly preserved, but no body of the woman Scarlett was found, yet……..Dr. Waldren claims to have seen her body…………

This is the backdrop story for UNEARTHED, this years theme at Howloscream Busch Gardens Tampa. Robin Cowie, who was the producer for the Blair Witch Project was brought in to UNEARTH an unimaginable evil this year for Howloscream. The underlining story involves Scarlett, a village healer that turned to witchcraft to avenge her husbands killers. As her powers grew, she was hunted, trapped, and buried alive in her house deep beneath what is now Busch Gardens Tampa. Now she has been accidentally UNEARTHED and will spread her terror among unsuspecting guests.
