Here is what you’ll find within…

You play the part of psychic investigator who, while trying to remain an impartial observer, sometimes crosses the line between good and evil and is often drawn a little too far into the proceedings. In telling the story and presenting the evidence, things don’t always go quite to plan!

Return of the Highgate Vampire: A dark presentation involving the summoning and exorcism of a predatory wraith who possesses the dead in its eternal search for human blood, which it must consume to continue its cursed existence.

Ignis Fatuus: Those ghostly, flickering lights we see hovering around churchyards and forests have long had a grim reputation. Called Will-o’-the-Wisps, Corpse Candles and Ignis Fatuus (literally, Fool’s Lights) among other names this strange phenomenon has often been associated with the presence of the souls of the dead. Here you use the Tarot Major Arcana to invoke a dreadful portent… “The life-light has been snuffed out from another victim… a successful experiment!”

The Resurrection of Gustav von Shreck: An ill-advised ritual involving the mortal remains of the infamous Count von Shreck has unforeseen consequences for the performer… “He burns in hell! Yet the Count’s spirit is with us…!”

The Ghost Trap: To call on a spirit trapped by Druids in an ancient bottle is not without its risks. The experiment seems successful… but what has been freed to roam the earth after its cruel confinement?

Santa Sangre: “It was the strangest story that I ever investigated — the cult of the Santa Sangre — The Holy Blood!” The cult pronounced Carmen a saint of Santeria; the powerful Catholic Church disagreed… with tragic consequences. “What was the cause of the deaths? A mass conspiracy by the followers, or revenge from beyond the grave?” Your quest for the truth may conjure the answers you seek, but what accompanies them?

The Curse of the Monkey’s Skull: Based on W. W. Jacob’s classic ghost story, The Monkey’s Paw, this is a moving story of loss and redemption.
