Concepts & Phenomena

Winter Tide

Winter Tide — a recurring phenomenon; understanding does not restore sanity. Register ME-1929-W41/9315.

Overview

Expedition register ME-1929-W41/9315 — cross-index under slug `winter-tide`.

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

We would delete Winter Tide 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. Winter Tide 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.

Earliest stack mention is a photocopy of a photocopy of Latin marginalia — chain of custody unsuitable for court, sufficient for caution.

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