Synopsis

At approximately 12:00am on Tuesday, November 1st a fire erupted at the old West Family Mansion in Arkham, Massachusetts. The cause of the fire has not yet been confirmed, but local investigators have told the Arkham Advertiser a young man has been arrested in regards to the blaze. Rick Taylor, a Parapsychology student from Arkham University, voluntarily entered Arkham Police Department and eye witnesses at the station claimed Mr Taylor was ranting at officers about monsters in the Mansion taking his girlfriend, a Miss Jennifer Willis, and begging them to help him find a Mask. Mr Taylor is now in custody and the hunt for Miss Jennifer Willis is underway, though due to the heat and speed of the blaze at the Mansion, the chances of finding her alive are bleak. Our sources believe foul play is at hand and that Mr Taylor will soon be charged with arson and the subsequent murder of Miss Willis. If you have any information regarding this incident please contact Investigator Jack Farley of the Arkham Police Department by phone at 555 2123.
