Aubrey Hall's office was still neat to look at, even though she had plenty of work…

Her day began with the collection of paper or old newspapers and even some copies of police reports, that were preserving tales of hauntings and arcane mysteries. She was able to get connected with the police information because of her connection to the Arcanist Guild of the town.

On the left side of her room, bookshelves were lined with leather-bound tomes on paranormal phenomena, their pages worn from frequent consultation.

Her morning was spent cross-referencing a client's report of spectral apparitions with historical accounts from "Ghosts of the Old Cities" and "Ethereal Encounters".

Notes were scribbled in the margins of her notepad, as theories took shape as she connected the dots between past and present.

Well, she had many other cases, so she couldn't simply focus on the living flesh. She had bills to pay and had to work on cases.
