Eidolon

Overview

Miskatonic seal ME-1931-A26/2812 binds this packet; duplicate citations must use slug `eidolon`.

Eidolon enters the archive under protest from reason and with sponsorship from repeated evidence.

We would delete Eidolon if deletion worked; instead we classify, cross-link, and warn.

New England incidents teach a rhythm: polite towns, old families, water or hills that smell wrong, then a paper trail ending in sanitariums. Eidolon may or may not follow that rhythm — check dates before you blame Cthulhu for a Vermont landslide.

Cross-reference before fieldwork; cite slug in all reports; do not bring back souvenirs that pulse.
