From the journal:

Dear Diary,

“Countless sightings and disturbing tales surround the tormented soul named Alice. Her notoriety in this city is the stuff of legend - indeed a street bears testimony to her troubled spirit. Mad Alice Lane is a narrow alley which, in previous times, was slum residence for some of the city’s more nefarious characters.

Alice Smith or Mary Alice Smith was allegedly a battered wife or lady of poor virtue who, after years of abuse or perhaps illness, finally lost all reason and did murder her husband in the most brutal of ways. Poison some say; a meat cleaver say others - rumours of her exploits and tales of her execution in the castle are whispered about to this day. But records do not always tell the stories of the criminally insane and her true fate may never be known.

Manifestations of Alice have me concerned not only for the safety of those that have borne witness to her appearance, but for this tormented soul herself.

Sightings have been reported of a figure shrouded in a dirty and shredded sheet, making twitching and jarring movements, with a wail so terrifying it would chill you to your marrow. She has, by many accounts I have heard, the dead headed stalk of a flower embroidered on her shroud, or perhaps a tear has split the head from the stem. Details are sparse as most people do not linger in her presence.

Under the flickering lamplight in the shadows and windows she appears; eyes different to other spirits which have been encountered. Two swirling voids enchant your wits and draw you in - a siren to your doom. Methods of her murders are seen in the blink of an eye - a potion bottle from which noxious fumes emit, or rivers and splatters of blood and a cleaver. Never the same tale, never the same sighting - a mystery so confused it is akin to being inside the broken mind of the spirit itself.

“I pray for the soul of poor Alice. My many visits to the late night streets of this city have not borne witness to her apparition as yet but a tormented howl did pierce the the night, a sound so angst ridden and sad my very soul did weep.”

Prof Matthias. J. Braithwaite
