I am Barnabas Collins, a direct descendant from the original Barnabas Collins who died in England nearly one hundred and fifty years ago.
I am perhaps what some would call a historian as I am quite the expert on the Collins family history. I have spent many long years researching old diaries and books on the subject to learn all that I could; For, I knew that I would return someday to my roots, a place where I knew I truly belonged:
Collinsport.
My dear cousin Elizabeth, has been kind enough to allow me to take over the older Collin's estate- known to many as the 'Old House'. With the help of my faithful and loyal servant Willie, I have been restoring the rooms to their original condition. I refuse to put in any artificial light, as the rooms in the Old Collins estate were meant to be seen as what they were designed for-- Candlelight.
I feel like I am starting a new life. It has been a rather hard journey to this new world, but now that I am here, I don't think I will ever leave. For, I wouldn't be a Collins if I didn't recognize that my heart, my soul, that my roots are here. And perhaps... my destiny.
