The Rotten Pumpkin Man

After the Great Darkness of 1999, many towns that were once occupied were discovered abandoned. One such town, Harvest Creek, is located just outside the borders of Autumn City. One of the many artifacts discovered after the hamlet's apparent desertion was a journal located in one of the empty residence. The small book, which contained an account of a supposed mass murder at the hands of a strange folklore figure, became infamous for its similarities to Autumn City's own killer - Jack Lantern. Some have speculated that Jack Lantern was once a citizen of the small town, while others believe that the killer based his haunting persona on the antagonist of the bloody tale. There are even those who have come to believe that Jack Lantern isn't human at all, but the Rotten Pumpkin Man himself.

The Spirit Photographer

In October of 2006, Katie Tammer was the only remaining witness to an odd mass disappearance that took place at the annual Nemeroff Masquerade - a yearly costume party thrown by millionaire, Stanley Nemeroff, at his lake house in Camden, Maine. While Ms. Tammer was initially held as a person of interest, the lack of evidence tying him to any wrong-doing eventually lead to her release. Shortly after, Ms. Tammer disappeared from the country, but had left a letter tacked to the wall of her apartment's entryway. The note was a telling of the events of the night in question, which drastically differed from her account tendered to the police, where she claimed the guests had simply disappeared after she returned from her smoke break. The following is the content of Ms. Tammer's letter.

Judith Beckett had always found comfort in abandoned places. They calmed her stormy mind, not to mention provided her a reprieve from the world she had grown to resent. The Tower of Teeth, a monument only a few miles from her town, stood against the world in a way she only wished she could. She envied it. She admired it. She wanted to know it. And on a cold October night, she met it.

In 2015, while exploring the Black Forest, Weird Book researchers discovered a large hole in the ground and eventually uncovered a peculiar tape recording in a vast underground antechamber. Its origins remain unknown, though it appears to have been made by researchers who were once in the area. The contents of the recording are still hotly debated within both academic and paranormal circles.
