If the name appears in dreams three nights running, withdraw from the case and request audit.

Historical Record

A 1931 Miskatonic committee voted to suppress photography; the vote is on file, the plates are not.

Do not engage alone; two witnesses minimum, three preferred if the name was spoken aloud.

What sleeps is not dead; what is catalogued here may be doing neither.
