She went to bed in her usual health the night of...

Here is another from the same paper though it is in the March 21, 1890 edition. It's the story of a suicide of a young lady who was stalked for three years by an unknown tormentor. It's a sad story, but one that may make a good backstory of a restless spirit...or perhaps her tormentor was more than ...

As is the case this time of year I have been a little more inspired to work on my MotRD campaing ideas. One things that always helps aid in this inspiration is the tendency for local newspapers to print articles on some fo the more gothic happenings as Halloween tributes. Has anyone on this forum ha...

As far as possessing entity are you looking for something ghostlike, and a story to go with it, or something of a different sort? Does anything in you storyline thus far give you wany indication of the direction you want to go? I think the idea of running a MotRD game in a pre 1890's time frame is a...
