I have been thinking the same question for a while. I have been reading the Kingdom Keepers series for a while now and love them. I looked up to find out if Escher's Keep is real and came to the conclusion that it isn't real. However, I found out that there is something similiar to it in MK's Haunted Mansion. Hope this helps.
