OOC: There is no nearby chair, so you lean against the wall. You skimming estimates to read, from cover to cover, it will take 2 days to read the book. Also, the book contains one spell.

You skim very quickly through the books, reading random pages. You notice little bits and facts, things Corbitt does in his day. You stop on a page and notice Corbitt buying the house form a wealthy merchant. You continue on, noticing the writing becoming looser and harder to read over time. He describes research on another page. In the second book, he talks about the religion he has joined, although he doesn't say the name here. The text is downright unreadable now, a difficult to read scrawl. By the thirs book, without careuflly reading, you cannot understand waht is written, but it talks about something he did, or summoned, you aren't sure. You close the book, your skimming taking thirty minutes. You find the writing and progressing failing mental state of Mr. Corbitt disturbing to say the least.


((Dante, you just walked across the hall now, since Dave/IHMN was in the right room, and Tommy/You were in the left.))

You turn on the radio. Some static comes out at first, but it seems to work fine. You tinker with it until you get a tune to come out.

((You can choose the station, just keep in mind it is the 1920's...))

The books sent a small chill up Paul's spine. He would have read into more detail later, so he carried the books with him as he went into the next room on the left.

You open the door to the second room on the left. It seems to be just another storage room. You notice lots of broken and destroyed old wooden furniture. You decide that it is most likely old furniture or furniture that others have thrown out, and it was collected as fire for a fireplace or wooden stove perhaps.

"There's probably nothing useful in amongst that rubbish" said Joseph turning away. "Lets try the other doors"

Frankie had gone with a few others to the library, on the basis that he didn't want to be the first person to see whatever was in the house, and that he knows how to use the library decently well.

After a few moments of looking around he found a librarian and asked politely if he could receive help finding information on the owners of the house in question, and any 'ghost' stories surrounding it.

1:00 PM

After searching through the library, with help and suggestions from the librarian, you gather a collection of books that might help. You begin to go through with them, and two hours later, you have found some informarion of note. The house was originally built by a wealthy merchant in 1835, but he fell ill and sold the house and left the state. He sold the house to a Mr. Walter Corbitt, esquire. You learn more, in that in in 1852, Mr. Corbitt is sued by his neighbors to force him from the house and the area, "In consequence of his surious [sic] habits and inauspicious demeanor." However, you seem to be having some trouble finding the actual resolution to this case, and what may have happened after that. The librarian suggests beginning a new search for this new information.

(OOC: Super short post.)

Frankie nodded toward the librarian and grinned. "That sounds like a most logical plan. Would you care to to lend me some more help?"

2:00 PM

With some more searching, you are able to find what you are looking for. Corbitt wins the case and is allowed to stay in the house. You find another notation later on, of the death of Mr. Corbitt in 1866, and in his obituary it says how he lived in the house up until his death. With more searching, you find a second case was brought against Mr. Corbitt's estate to prevent the execution of his last will and testament, which allowed for upon his death, he would be buried in the basement of his home. You can't find who was to execute this last will, or if the case was ever resolved. The librarian now says, "Well, Dr. Armitage has told me to help any of you I see in every way I can, but you won't find anymore information like this in the library. You will need to go to the Hall of Records in Boston to find anymore information on this case."

Frankie smiled and stood, nodding at the librarian. "Thank you. You have been a tremendous help already... I do believe I will head for the hall of records now." With that he waved to the librarian and left the library to flag down a cab.

Father Ted stood next to Frankie. "I doubt the basement was sanctified, which might lend to the ghost theory. I still think it's probably a gas leek." Father Ted says to frankie as they flag down a cab.
