TEXT: The seven pages which follow contain an additional set of player handouts that can be used 
  when running the Call of Cthulhu scenario “In A Different Light” (available on-line for free at 
  http://CthulhuReborn.wordpress.com)
  A set of basic handouts are included with the original scenario PDF — those cover all the es-
  sential items that the players may find during their Investigations. After the scenario was pub-
  lished, several people asked whether some of the more tangential clues described in the text 
  could also be provided as handouts. In some cases, folks were even kind enough to provide 
  ideas on how the bare-bones descriptions in the scenario could be worked up into attractive 
  handouts (based on props they had prepared for their own runs of the scenario). I am indebted 
  to those generous and inventive Call of Cthulhu afficionados.
  The Handouts in this Web Extra are:
  • Three further Newspaper Clippings from the Arkham Advertiser,
  • Newspaper copy for an Arkham Advertiser story that was never published (handwritten 
  by a journalist),
  • Minutes of a special session held by the Arkham City Council of Selectmen,
  • A hand-drawn map of the region of Arkham’s French Hill district where several scenes of 
  the adventure take place,
  • Pages from two books providing information on the disappearance of Crawford’s Rise,
  • Jed Ashcroft’s story, plus a sketch map of the (ghost-) town of Crawford’s Rise, and
  • Two extracts from the (weathered) notebook of Prof. Jamison, found in Crawford’s Rise.
  Print these pages single-sided, in colour if possible. Then cut out the handouts from the sheet.

  Fraternities Pull 
  Unkind Stunt
  Several mutilated animal carcasses, 
  primarily cats and dogs, were discov-
  ered in an allyway just off Walnut 
  Street Saturday night.
  Police say over a dozen animals were 
  found, all terribly mutilated, in the 
  alley.  Police guess that the freshly 
  killed animals were the result of frater-
  nity pranksters taking a joke too far.  
  Miskatonic University should find and 
  punish these miscreants.

  Rabid Dogs Loose
  Residents of Walnut Street are warned 
  that a pack of rabid dogs are apparently 
  loose in that part of town.
  Police warn that the pack of wild dogs 
  might be rabid but urge citizens not to 
  panic.  Residents should keep careful 
  watch when walking in that neighbor-
  hood at night.
  Another murder has taken place on 
  Walnut Street.
  The victim, Chris Przedworski, was 
  found murdered in his own home on 
  Walnut Street last night.
  Police were initially alerted by 
  neighbors who heard wild almost 
  bestial shrieks coming from the 
  small 
  Przedworski 
  house. 
  On 
  arriving at the scene the source of 
  this 
  clamor 
  was 
  found 
  to 
  be 
  Przedworski’s brother Wojtek. By 
  his hideous wailing it was evident the 
  man was out of his mind.
  Beside him, on the floor of the small 
  sitting room lay the dead Przedwor-
  ski, hideously dismembered and 
  mutilated. Although details haven’t 
  been made available to the public, the 
  mutilations inflicted upon the Pole 
  are believed to be very similar to 
  those carried out upon the body of 
  Georgio Caruso.
  Police escorted the brother to the 
  Arkham Sanitarium, and questioned 
  the residents of nearby houses. Their 
  inquiries unearthed several interest-
  ing leads.
  Firstly, a number of neighbors 
  reported having heard the sound of a 
  gun being fired shortly before the 
  screams of Wojtek disturbed the 
  silence of the street.
  Secondly, witnesses claim to have 
  seen a man wandering in the street 
  about the time Przedworski must 
  have died. One witness is adamant 
  that the figure was pulp author and 
  local resident Herbert Wade Slocum. 
  When police called to visit Slocum at 
  his home he was nowhere to be found.
  Local residents should be careful 
  when traveling the streets at night, 
  especially Walnut Street in South-
  side. Arkham Police Department 
  assures 
  that 
  Southsiders 
  have 
  nothing to fear and that the perpe-
  trator of these gruesome crimes 
  would very soon be brought to justice.

  Screaming on Walnut Street
  Citizens of Walnut Street were jerked from their sleep by 
  horrible cries Wednesday night.
  At about 1 a.m., police received telephone calls from several 
  residents of Walnut Street reporting inhuman screams up 
  and down the street.
  Police arrived on the scene soon located Milk Deliver Georgio 
  Caruso, cowering in an alleyway just off Walnut Street.  
  Caruso, obviously shaken, was found to be the one causing the 
  screams.  He had recovered his senses.
  Caruso reportedly had some form of hallucinatory fit or 
  seizure in the early morning hours.  The terrible cries he gave 
  out as he ran screaming down Walnut Street caused many 
  residents to contact the authorities.
  By the time police arrived on the scene, Caruso, who was 
  found cowing in an, had regained his senses.  Though 
  obviously shaken, he was given a clean bill of health.

  Mayor’s Call.
  To Mr. Edward Farr,
  City Clerk.
  Dear Sir –
  Please issue the usual notice and call for a 
  special meeting of the common council of the 
  City of Arkham to be held in the council cham-
  ber on Wednesday evening, November 16th, 
  1927, at seven thirty (7.30) o’clock for the 
  purpose of considering proposals for the 
  furthering of civic works in the French Hill 
  district, and in particular the approval or rejec-
  tion of plans to construct new street lighting for 
  this impoverished area.
  Dated Arkham, Massachusetts, November 2, 
  1927. 
  JOSEPH PEABODY,
  Mayor.
  Street Lighting Proposal
  The City Engineer tabled a proposed 
  plan for enacting a pilot study of a new 
  type of council-funded street illumina-
  tion. He stated that his investigations of 
  this matter had come about at the 
  request of the Mayor.
  The Engineer tabled a report which noted 
  areas of the city which were particularly 
  destitute and in need of civic upgrade. The 
  region most in need of attention is, accord-
  ing to this report, the French Hill neigh-
  borhood and in particular the locus 
  centred upon Walnut Street.
  In order to present an expert opinion on 
  the matter, and to advise on the several 
  proposed options, Engineer Endicott 
  called upon Miskatonic University’s Dr 
  Hamlin Hayes to make a short presen-
  tation to the assembled selectmen.
  Dr. Hayes presented three options, one of 
  which was a very recently developed light-
  ing technique. This newly invented tech-
  nique (in his expert opinion) was twice as 
  efficient as traditional lighting methods. 
  This new modality of electrical illumina-
  tion, said Dr. Hayes, “seems likely to be 
  the way of the future.”
  After some consternation and a stirring 
  speech by Selectman Ash Southcott, the 
  Council voted (8-1) to endorse the new 
  and less expensive alternative advocated 
  by Dr. Hayes.
  Mayor Peabody voiced his excitement 
  with this planned course of action and 
  stated that he wished that work on the new 
  street lamps could be completed well ahead 
  of the end of this council’s current term. 
  In his words, “the people of French Hill 
  have waited for too long for attention from 
  the city, and it is my attention that they 
  should receive it promptly.”
  Meeting Close
  The special session was closed at eight 
  thirty (8.30) o’clock, and the mayor 
  invited all selectment to refreshments 
  and a light supper.

  erhaps the most startling tale of disappearance in Essex County is that of 
  the so-called ‘Sudbury Disappearance’. This tale concerns itself with the 
  small farming community of Crawford’s Rise, not far from Sudbury. The 
  strange events that transpired in this rustic farming village in the Spring of 1880 
  are for the most part recorded only in the memories of Sudbury locals.
  Many tales and wild speculation have arisen, but all stories agree on one fact — 
  that one night in April 1880 the entire population of Crawford’s Rise disappeared. 
  Visitors to the village next morning were greeted with empty houses, empty shops, 
  and an empty town common.
  No sign of any of the forty or so residents of Crawford’s Rise were ever unearthed. 
  Their earthly possession all still lay in empty houses, arranged as they would have 
  been had their owners still been there to use them. Nothing was found missing or 
  disturbed. To this day, nobody has been able to give an explanation of just what 
  happened to the community of Crawford’s Rise that fateful night.
  As strange and unique as this story may sound, it is in fact only one of several that

  MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCES
  CHAPTER SEVEN
  In A Different Light Handout: A Page from Mysteries of Essex County 
  was forced to leave the area, owing to a misunderstanding with the 
  local chieftain in relation to one of his unwed daughters.
  After leaving this group, I spent some months living with a tribe 
  of natives who reside in the area adjacent to  the modern-day town 
  on Sudbury.  Initially these people (whose numbers are reported 
  to be seriously dwindling over recent years) seemed quite 
  unremarkable, but after gaining their trust with a display of my 
  skills with the rapier, they revealed themselves to me somewhat. 
  What I found was a group who held a number of singular beliefs.
  The folklore of this particular tribe placed great weight on the 
  periodic awakening of certain unclean spirits of light. At the 
  times of such awakenings, they believed, men and women would 
  begin to go missing — taken by the spirits as food for some greater 
  entity. In time, once this greater being had consumed enough, they 
  believed he would wake from his great slumber and threaten to 
  devour the tribe. It was only through the ritual chants handed 
  down from the elders, and practiced each year, that the tribe could 
  be saved.
  I spent many a night in solemn discussion with the cheiftain and 
  his shaman attempting to get to the bottom of these remarkable 
  beliefes. On one such evening I had the unusual privilege of 
  witnessing one of their rituals. I would have to say that I found it 
  to be unlike any religious observance I have witnessed in any 
  tribe of the Massachusetts district.  Many aspects were entirely 
  oblique, none moreso than the strange chant that formed a 
  centrepiece of their ceremony. This was made up entirely of 
  nonsensical words and sounds, which draw not from their local 
  language or any other they could name. It represents  an entirely 
  curious linguistic phenomenon. Two unusual word-sounds 
  seemed to appear time and time again in these rituals: 
  “M’bukthoo” and “Aybon”   . 
  The village shaman agreed to instruct me in the ways of “Aybon”,
  the latter of these words was the only part of the chant for which the tribe knew any meaning — 
  Aybon was remembered as a great savior of the tribe from many generations past.

  Jed Ashcroft’s Story
  “You know, back when the events you’re a-asking me about were taking place, I 
  was just a young man. Twenty-three I was. I had a brother then, a younger 
  brother by the name of Jeremiah. A fiery boy was Jeremiah, always disobeying 
  our Pa’s orders and doin’ what he wanted. Anyhow, just a month or so before the 
  Disappearance, Jeremiah went and fell in love with one of the Rise girls; Rose 
  Macintosh she was called. 
  “O’course Pa told him he didn’t want no son of his having aught to do with them folk after they’d 
  suddenly turned queer. But Jeremiah didn’t take Pa’s pronouncement to heart, and often after 
  everyone was asleep he would sneak out of the farmhouse and go and visit his Rose. 
  “Well, as it happened, this is just what Jeremiah was doing on the night of the Disappearance, ‘cept 
  this time when he got to Rose’s window, he found she was nowhere to be seen. So he poked around 
  the house awhile, but there was nobody to be found. The place was completely empty. It was then 
  he noticed the weird greenish light coming from the town common. This light was part familiar to 
  him: it reminded him of the Devil Lanterns he’d seen other residents of The Rise carry. 
  “I guess the lure of curiosity for this weird light got the better of his sensibilities, or maybe he was 
  just searching for his Rose. Whatever the reason, Jeremiah walked to the village common and saw ... 
  well I’m not perfectly sure what. 
  “Pa and I were woken in the slim hours of the mornin’ by the sound of him scrabbling to get in 
  through the door. All desperate like he sounded. Pa was about ready to show him the rough side of 
  his belt, but when we opened the door and saw the terror in his eyes ... well we sat him down and 
  he shook and he mumbled things we could barely make out. 
  “Anyway after a few hours of us consoling Jeremiah, he began to gain his senses again and he spun 
  us the tale I jus’ told you. When he came to tell about what he saw in the common, his voice faltered 
  a lot, and his words came out in a big jumble. From what I could work out it seemed that the light 
  he had seen came from a huge bonfire that someone had lit in the common, only it weren’t no 
  ordinary bonfire. All around the place he saw broken glass lanterns — Devil Lanterns. Someone had 
  thrown them all into the fire, and somehow that had make the flames look queer. 
  “He could see dozens of people standing around the fire, maybe the entire population of the place. 
  A few of them were chanting something ... my brother couldn’t tell what, but he noticed one man, 
  ol’ Edgar Jamison, was leading them. But before Jeremiah could scan the crowd for his Rose, or learn 
  more about what was transpirin’, somethin else happened. 
  “It’s when telling this part of the tale that poor Jeremiah just broke down in tears and screams, and 
  refused to tell us any more. We made him breakfast and comforted him awhile more, but he still 
  would not talk about whatever it was he saw, cept to say the one thing over and over ‘Twer the 
  mountain that ate them.’ 
  “I never did find out what my brother meant by those words. He’s dead now ... not many days after 
  he saw what he saw, he took a shotgun out to do some hunting. Well that’s what he said, but ... well 
  I know he meant to use that shotgun on himself. Tweren’t no accident.”
