Investigation Journal

3 a.m.

Josya's Residence Guest Room

I have started the investigation. The Presence seems to be rather weak, as I have heard nothing until now.

6 a.m.

Josya's Residence Garden

I've come to the location of the first occurrence. All seems regular. No personnel has been tending to the flowers. It is a shame. The chrysanthemums are beautiful.

12 p.m.

Josya's Residence Guest Room

Until this moment, nothing has been found. I'm starting to worry. Haven't the occurrences been regular at this place ?

I've been looking at the Garden recently, waiting for a chance of seeing it in action. No personnel tended to it today. I suppose it was expected for it to happen.

3 a.m.

Josya's Residence Main Room

I've decided to intrude into the Main Room.

6 a.m.

Josya's Residence Main Room

No occurrences detected.

9 a.m.

I have decided to give up on the present investigation. I've decided to take a chrysanthemum with me as a souvenir.

Could the little flowers be the cause of all the mysterious occurrences? I do feel an attraction to them. Is it my own, or the workings of a ghost?

3 p.m.

Home

I've got a new job starting tomorrow. Hopefully it won't be like the last one. The chrysanthemum shows no signs of ghostly activity. I feel no supernatural attraction to it. I've put it on a small vase near the window.

6 a.m.

Dostoy Cemetery

The place is eery and cold. The tombs' reflection in the moonlight remind me of the most expensive granite. It is beautiful.

3 p.m.

Hildenburg Hostel

No occurrences at the cemetery. The hostel isn't receiving any complains either. I'm starting to lose hope.

12 a.m.

Dostoy Cemetery

I've decided to wander the place in hopes of finding some occurrence. There doesn't seem to be a reason for all the rumours.

3 a.m.

Dostoy Cemetery

I have seen a small light near one of the outer edges. I thought it could be a spectral fire, but there seems to be no activity in the place.

I have collected a little bit of the place's dirt.

6 p.m.

Hildenburg Hostel

I've subjected the dirt to holy water and put a cross on it. I've also read buddhist mantras. No occurrence could be detected.

The contractor has decided to hire another investigator. I must perform.

3 a.m.

Dostoy Cemetery

I've decided to make an extreme attempt at unearthing the ghost.

6 a.m.

Dostoy Cemetery

The attempt failed. I shall resume my work.

12 p.m.

Home

I've decided to put the chrysanthemum in the cemetery dirt. Who knows. I might even produce a ghost myself. At least then I would have something to show.

6 p.m.

Veravanda Temple

The monks have hired me due to the Three Fingers case. I'm happy that's still a thing. I need something to stay relevant, so I hope to be able to perform today.

3 a.m.

Veravanda Temple's Main Square

No sign of activity. No ringing bells. The monks have been performing their morning rituals and prayers with no interruptions whatsoever.

9 a.m.

Veravanda Temple

The head monk thanked me for 'vanquishing the evil spirit', but I did nothing. I couldn't accept the reward, since I have no chained ghost to prove my deed.

The monk insisted, so I decided to take home one of the bells which had been supposedly touched by the ghost.

3 p.m.

Home

I have put the bell right next to the flower vase with the chrysanthemum on it. I've been ringing the bell from time to time.

6 p.m.

Home

The neighbors complained about the bell noises.

9 a.m.

Home

I've got a job, and this one is sure to have a ghost. It has been chained to a basement chamber already. The previous investigator died at the scene.

It is risky, but it is worthy the try.

I've decided to get rid of my souvenirs as a matter of precaution. If I die, then those could endanger others.

I've dropped them on the river.

12 a.m.

Hildenburg Hostel

The previous investigator managed to lure the ghost from the cemetery, but failed at properly chaining it.

It has been wreaking havoc at the hostel's basement.

3 a.m.

Hildenburg Hostel

I've successfully chained the ghost. The Three Fingers case is now behind me.

3 p.m.

Home

Getting rid of my souvenirs was a waste in the end. However, I've managed to chain a real ghost this time, so I'm not that sad.

I've decided to look for the next job right after.

3 a.m.

Home

The ghost at Dostoy Cemetery seems to be roaming again. I've checked on the one I've chained, and it's still at the Contention Unit.

It should be a second ghost, then.

6 a.m.

Dostoy Cemetery

The ghost was hiding behind a tomb.

It was a little girl. The poor thing must have died on an accident. I've put her on chains, but seriously wanted to give her relief. It would be the right thing to do.

3 p.m.

Home

Dostoy Cemetery called again. Have all the dead risen from their tombs or something ?!

9 a.m.

I've managed to chain fifteen ghosts today. It seems like I've broken Leonard Loy's record.

3 p.m.

Home

The phone won't stop ringing.

9 p.m.

Home

The neighbors complained about bell noises and chrysanthemum smell.

I might have cursed myself or my house by accident.

3 a.m.

Home

I've chained the local ghost and dispelled the curse bonding it to my house. I should be more careful next time.

3 p.m.

Home

Three ghosts this week. I'm taking it slow now. No need to rush.

9 p.m.

Home

People are saying I'm cursed. The chrysanthemum smell returned. There are no signs of other occurrences.

12 a.m.

Josya's Residence

I've decided to check on the previous locations. I might have put myself on a difficult situation.

The garden still has beautiful chrysanthemums. There doesn't seem to be nothing wrong.

The employees said another investigator managed to chain the ghost after I was gone.

It leaves a bitter aftertaste.

9 a.m.

Dostoy Cemetery

No sightings of new ghosts.

3 a.m.

Hildenburg Hostel

I've booked a room for the night. The employees said there have been no new occurrences ever since.

9 p.m.

Veravanda Temple

The head monk said I must have been cursed after throwing the bell in the river. It makes sense, since the bell was a sacred item.

I have received its blessings and gave donations in order to receive Buddha's forgiveness for my disrespectful act.

12 a.m.

Home

No occurrences. It seems the problem was indeed with the bell.

3 p.m.

Home

The chrysanthemum smell returned. I'm starting to get worried. Where's the source of the ghostly appearances ?

3 a.m.

Home

I've chained yet another ghost. I don't understand why. This one is clearly a suicide victim, so why is it attracted to my house ?

12 a.m.

Home

The chrysanthemum smell is becoming unbearable. I've decided to take extreme measures and purified all furniture with fire.

All I have is a mattress to sleep in now.

3 a.m.

Home

I've been hurt.

3 p.m.

New Holand's General Hospital

A friend came to visit me. I've decided to seek help.

6 a.m.

Home

I have gotten three other investigators to help me. We have managed to find dirt stains on the floor. It seems cemetery dirt entered the cracks in the floor.

There might be contamination all around. We have decided to burn down the house.

9 p.m.

Josya's Residence Guest Room

I've decided to alert the Residences about the possibility of a curse on the chrysanthemums. The have decided to destroy the garden.

A faint scream could be heard once the poor flowers burned.

I'm relieved. With this much, there's only the cemetery to deal with.

12 a.m.

Dostoy Cemetery

I've trespassed into the property.

It's needed. The dirt around that corner can be dangerous. I've brought some gasoline with me.

3 p.m.

Home

I've returned home, only to remember that I've burned my house. I've decided to stay around for a little bit. For old times sake.

3 a.m.

Home

I've fallen asleep. That's unusual. Why would I fall asleep here ? Has the curse not been lifted yet ?

3 p.m.

Home

I've expended a large amount of time checking everything around. The ground is burned, there are but ashes where the old house used to be.

It's illogical.

3 a.m.

Home

I've fallen asleep once I tried to go out of the old house's layout. I'm afraid I might have become a ghost.

6 a.m.

New Holand's General Hospital

I've managed to get out of the house. The doctors, however, decided to have me stay. I might have a concussion. This should be the cause of my confusion.

3 p.m.

New Holand's General Hospital

I can smell chrysanthemum.
