'''Collinwood''' was the primary home of the [[Collins]] family in the year 1841 in the mysterious world of [[Parallel Time]]. It was located on [[Widows' Hill]] in the [[Collinsport]], Maine that existed in this alternate time-band.
+
'''Collinwood (1841PT)''' was the great mansion in the town of [[Collinsport]] in the year 1841 of [[Parallel Time]], and was the primary home of the Collins family. This was the locale of the last storyline on the original series of ''Dark Shadows''.
   
Physically, this Collinwood appeared to be nearly identical to its [[Collinwood|counterpart]] in the mainstream time-line, although it was much older, having existed at least as early as the year 1680. The west wing of Collinwood in this time-band held the entrance to a secret basement room that was used for business purposes in the 17th century. The [[east wing]] of this Collinwood was, as of 1841, also open and in full use.
+
Physically, this Collinwood would appear to be nearly identical to that of Regular Time, although at least one part of the great house is much older, having existed during the life of [[Brutus Collins]], i.e. the late 17th century. This is approximately a hundred years before the construction of Collinwood in RT. However, the estate also included a version of the [[Old House]].
   
Because of a curse, Collinwood had a haunted [[locked room]], the bedroom of [[Brutus Collins]], in the west wing into which members of the Collins family, chosen in a lottery, were forced to spend a night during every generation. All those who went into the room for the night were found either dead or insane the following morning until [[Bramwell Collins]] and [[Catherine Harridge Collins]] , forced to spend the night in the room together, defeated the curse.
+
In PT, Collinwood had a haunted [[locked room]], one in which members of the Collins family were forced to spend a single night every generation. Those who emerged were always either dead or insane, until [[Bramwell Collins]] and [[Catherine Harridge Collins]] defeated the curse.
   
  +
The inhabitants of the Collinwood estate in 1841 PT included [[Morgan Collins]], his brothers [[Gabriel Collins (1841PT)|Gabriel]] and [[Quentin Collins (1841PT)|Quentin]], their father [[Justin Collins|Justin]] and mother [[Flora Collins (1841PT)|Flora]] as well as Justin's sister [[Julia Collins]]. Their precise relationship to the previous generation of Collins vis-a-vis those of RT has not been revealed.
[[Flora Collins (PT)|Flora Collins]], mistress of the house, gave control of the family business to Bramwell after the end of the curse, and Bramwell and Catherine, then married, lived at Collinwood together ([[1245]]).
 
   
  +
While it is true that [[Barnabas Collins (1841PT)|Barnabas Collins]] married [[Josette Collins (1841PT)|Josette]] there, whether the rest of the characters existed is somewhat open to speculation. If, for example, [[Jeremiah Collins]] and [[Millicent Collins]] existed in PT, did they marry? What about [[Sarah Collins]] and [[Daniel Collins]]? Or for that matter [[Abigail Collins]]? For that matter, was there an [[Isaac Collins]] in [[Parallel Time]] at all, or was his role in history more-or-less played by Brutus? Since there is no evidence of [[Judah Zachary]] targeting the Collins family, one wonders if he even existed (which would explain why there was no [[Angelique Collins|Angelique]] because she never became a [[Witch|witch]]. Thus Catherine Harridge and her sister [[Daphne Harridge (1841PT)|Daphne]] would most likely be descendants of Miranda DuVal. If 1970PT is part of the same universe as 1841PT, presumably either Catherine's children or some relative of hers married among the family of [[Ben Stokes (1841 PT)]] resulting in [[Timothy Stokes (1970PT)|Timothy Stokes]] and his twin daughters [[Angelique Stokes Collins|Angelique]] and [[Alexis Stokes|Alexis]].
Like the estates depicted in other bands of time, this Collinwood property contained the original family home, the [[Old House (1841 PT)|Old House]].

==Ghosts==
 
 
Like the other versions of Collinwood, the house that stood in 1841 Parallel Time was also haunted. There were several spirits that appeared to or possessed the living members of the family. They included:
 
 
*[[Amanda Collins]]
 
 
*[[Brutus Collins]]
 
 
*[[James Forsythe]]
 
 
*[[Sarah Forsythe]]
 
 
 
 
==Notes==
 
 
*This Collinwood was the second to be seen in Parallel Time. [[Collinwood (1970 PT)|Collinwood]] was shown in the [[1970]] Parallel Time story arc as well, with a significantly different history than its mainstream counterpart. Although it is never explicitly stated that the two versions Collinwood seen in Parallel Time are one and the same, there is no on screen evidence to suggest that they aren't. The biggest similarity seemingly linking the two is the fact that [[Barnabas Collins]] never became a vampire and died a human in both of the Parallel Time periods.
