Thursday, 9.00 am. After five years of careful observation I have decided to make my files public. The world deserves to know. Noreen says the world deserves a rest. She typed them up anyway.
To the reader: I am Desmond Crouch, founder, president and sole member of the Northbridge Paranormal Society. These files follow the entity known as Cathy through three houses in three cities, on Lake Street, George Street and Collins Street. They are the most complete record in existence, as far as I know, because nobody else is keeping one.
You will not find here how to get out of her house. I have never been inside, and staff would not tell me if I asked, which I have, eleven times.
Footnote. I learn that the entity keeps a diary of her own, published on the other room’s site, in which she calls me ‘the Beeping Man’. I do not beep. The meter beeps. It is an important distinction and I would like it on the record.
— D. Crouch, Northbridge Paranormal Society (President, Treasurer and Members)
