SL’s Top Haunted Locations & Tours - GiaBlossom reporting



There are hardly a few days to go until October 31st to pass by this year. We don’t want to miss the special places decorated by landscapers all over the grid. My first search was to find a few locations suggested by travelers, landscape photographers, bloggers, and vloggers. For this I found a Facebook group, called Public Landscapes; so I went around exploring and clicking a few sneak peek pictures of my own. 



The first place I sorted for you is called, “Der Spooky Haunted Halloween Island” suggested by Kayla Woodrunner. You can visit the Landmark-  http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Nykus/186/245/21 We enter after our helicopter crashes into a small island off the maps. The quiet environment spooks you till you cross a horde of zombies coming at you. A merry-go-round that brings about the evil inner child. A toxic pathway leads to burning moving skeletons. 





The second place has a horror and autumn vibe to it. It will be much more fun if you visit with your family. The place was suggested by Susann DeCuir. It’s called “LeLoo’s World Boo-Fest”. Landmark - http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Friends/31/140/32 We step into the market of Halloween goodies, you can buy some for your home or your memories. As we enter, a sudden whirlpool of autumn breezes through the cornfields. You feel the err in the atmosphere when the scare happens. Ghosts! As you walk, you see a witch house at the far end of the fields and some smelly soup cooking in a cauldron that makes you want to puke. But beware, a witch might end up lurking behind you.





The third place, I would suggest for you is the “All Hallows 2024” established in 2016. Maia Macabre returns this year with another haunted meandering, autumnal hoodoo, darkly roaming beings. LM - http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Moochie/170/200/23 It was suggested by Silvana F. Demina. This place should be among the top 3 on any list. We land in the middle of nowhere via a goods train. As you turn around, there are spooky shadows under the golden shades of autumn trees. As we walk the single lonely pathway In the middle of the dense jungle, it leads to an opening on a deck where an eerily individual, Alexandria Dassin is serving “Hot drinks for Cold hands” To see an actual human being zombified terrified the soul out of me. I ran further away crossing over to the little island hoping none of these zombies saw me as I reached a small church. But a shadow lurked there too and it lured me away from the place for good. This place is not for any feeble heart. 





“The Haunted Halloween Tour” Landmark - 

http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Haunted%20Halloween%20Tour%201/15/183/178 If you think, nothing can scare you in this life, think again. What starts as a simple tour in a coffin of two, the tour takes some sudden turns and shows the haunted stories. I could write an entire article on this location, but that would spoil all the scare for you. At a point in this tour, I had to look beyond the computer screen to realize I was not in that scary frightening world wishing this torture would end soon. 





If something like an interactive group tour is something that interests you. A 500L$ Ticket (Marketplace -https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/New-Orleans-Haunted-History-Tour/26412701?)  to the Haunted History of Witchcraft & Voodoo in New Orleans is just what you are looking for. Kaiden and Pandora Tray have gone above and beyond to create this personalized tour. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Let’s Take a Trip to Venice in Second Life- Piers Diesel Reporting...


Located on an archipelago in the North-eastern Mediterranean Sea, the city of Venice dates back 1500 years and is made up of 118 flat islands, 416 bridges and 177 canals. Long ago it was the biggest power in that region during the 1300-1500’s. Today, Venice is visited by tourists at an average of 18 million a year and is one of the famous honeymoon spots for couples who want to experience a romantic gondola ride and dine on Venetian cuisine. If you have always wanted to travel to Venice in Real Life but never had the chance, you can do that virtually. You don’t even need a passport to get there!
Venice Second Life has been created cleverly to resemble Real Life Venice with gondoliers, little cafés and the winding cobblestone streets with shops to explore. Here are a few things you can find and do in Second Life Venice.

What is a trip to Venice without Gondola rides?
Yes, it is possible to take a gondola ride at Second Life Venice. It is manually operated which means you navigate the gondolier through the waterways.
Don’t worry if you are not an experienced gondolier. It is not hard to do and you can forget that you are handling it once you sit back and enjoy the ride and views. It is perfect for a romantic date or exploring some realism in Second Life. I would recommend at least trying it to give you the Venice feel.



Rictorante Caffe Saraceno

This is a great place to meet up with friends or your partner and have a meal or even a cup of coffee while talking about your week or day. The service is excellent with attentive staff.  The restaurant overlooks the Grand Canal where you can watch people go by on the water or even by foot on the narrow pavements.  The perfect time to go is at sunset.  The sun’s reflection on the water sets the mood well.



Rialto Bridge

You may recognise this bridge as it is the exact copy to the one in Real Life the Rialto Bridge. This would be the bridge when you TP to the Venice Second Life sim be the landing point. From the Rialto Bridge you are able to wander around the sim easily by foot if you choose to not use a gondolier. It also gives you the perfect bird’s eye view of the sim allowing you to easily take good pics of the sim.
Shopping is a big deal for tourists both in the real world and in Second Life. Rialto Bridge is a good landing point to reach the shops!


Shopping in the Mediterranean

There are quite a few good shops on the sim that offer a variety of products. These shops can be found around the winding cobbled streets along the canal and also in the backstreets. Not all shops are brand names which can be good as you can sometimes find that little unusual gift for someone or even yourself. That is so fun about shopping. It is like going on a treasure hunt.




Saint Marks Square

Here you will find more gondoliers and  shops. Saint Mark’s Square is a perfect spot to take photos of your adventures.  



I would definitely recommend Second Life Venice and have always visited here when I want to take stock of the day or catch up with people in Second Life.  It is definitely worth the visit.

Sights and Famous Landmarks in Second Life America- Piers Diesel Reporting...



Many have probably visited  one or several American landmarks in Real Life so it is important for second Life creators to not only get these locations authentically replicating the Real Life one but to also incorporate entertainment to keep people coming back.


I have found 5 landmarks which not only keep you entertained while on the sim but also resemble the Real Life landmarks in the US.

THE STAR TREK SAGA CONTINUES IN NEW ERIDANI SL SHOWCASE - Troy Aristocarnas Reporting...




Beam Me Up Scotty



The Star Trek Museum of Science, established in-world by Sabri Picard in 2006, remains at full throttle (if not at warp speed), though it has moved to a single island in-world. “We downsized last year (2011),” said Wabisabi Matahari, the museum’s curator and Benevolent Dictator. “No more room,” she added when this deadline beater inquired about the model starships that were part of the original exhibit. “(It) just got way too expensive and donations dried up,” the amiable dictator revealed.
