New England incidents teach a rhythm: polite towns, old families, water or hills that smell wrong, then a paper trail ending in sanitariums. Sumner's Pond 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.

Description

Those who survived description speak of surfaces that refuse matte finish — wet, reflective, or oily even in dry rooms.

Sound, when recorded, has been described as wet leather, glass harmonics, or bees inside a skull; analysts note infrasound may explain some, not all.

Several accounts mention a pressure change before sighting, as though the air admitted something larger than the room.

Game manuals and wiki pages from 1980 onward treat the name as franchise furniture; date your citations or fail the course.

If dreams arrive with the weight of memory for places never visited, terminate contact.

The Library holds primary text; this dossier holds orientation — never the reverse.

Archive Notes
