Upon further searching of the house, we found several notebooks each containing different words over and over again. Some notebooks are filled with the same writing. Although there's one somewhat different notebook.
I will list it down, sorted by the Earliest to the Newest.
Notebook #1
As we know it, it contains only one word written over and over again: "Watching." This strange note is written in what we believe is blood rather than ink. The handwriting is still readable, although for some pages, the word is written on top of each other, making it hard to read.
Notebook #2
The only notebook that went missing after an inspection of the house. It contains words written over and over again in all Capital: "SAVE ME." With each turning of a page, his handwriting worsens as if someone is having a seizure while writing it. And that rust-colored writing that we believe is blood... They are more pronounced than the first notebook we discovered.
Notebook #3
This time, it took me by surprise. There are a lot of weird things happening in other cases, unexplained mysteries or some weird evidence. But this time, it was a dairy. Of course, a diary will label someone as a weirdo if they wrote something embarrassing. But in this case, the content is not what I expected. It's hard to put it into words so I'll just highlight some of the writing inside.
In black ink and neat handwriting, he wrote:
"Dear God, thank you for this day and for your constant presence in my life. Guide my steps and grant me wisdom to make the right choices. May my heart be filled with peace and my mind be at rest. Help me to be a source of love and kindness to those around me. In your name, I pray. Amen."
"Dear God, I come to you with a heart full of gratitude for your love and mercy."
"Guide my steps and lead me on the path you have for me. Help me to discern your will and to make choices that honor you."
And then it stops. All other pages are empty.
We suspected that the other notebook had gone missing, this evidence simply wasn't enough. But we found something interesting when we conducted another round of research into his personal life. Apparently, he was a devoted churchgoer at Bradbury Street. Although I swear, I remember there weren't any churches in or near Bradbury Street. At least we know for sure that some locals might know more about the place where they lived. So we went to investigate the place.
And sure enough, there used to be a church built there. The name of the pastor struck me like an unkissed brick; his name was Father Dolores Cannon. His name is mentioned at Archive Number 000017956, he was arrested by the police soon after someone filed a report to us to investigate. Dolores Cannon is more of a cult leader rather than a pastor; when we first conducted a search into his house, we found 20 pairs of human eyes canned in a jar filled with what we believe is formaldehyde.
I don't know why Kevin didn't realize this when he did the research into his information earlier. Well... Then... Now we have something to work with. At last.
We suspected that Jonathan Taylor was a cult member, but his whereabouts are still in question. But one thing is still a mystery. Who or what is watching him?
