The Coffin


Delivered by Breekon and Hope to Joshua Gillespie by agreement with a man known only as John. According to Joshua it produced scratching sounds and moaned when it rained. It also induced sleepwalking which seemed to cause him to try to unlock the padlock on the coffin. It was retrieved approximately 18 months later by Breekon and Hope, accompanied by John.

It was made of unvarnished, pale yellow wood and had a thick metal chain wrapped around it, which was closed at the top with a heavy iron padlock. It had three words, scratched deep into the wood of the casket in letters three inches high. They read “Do Not Open”. The lock was closed but had the key sitting inside it.
