Note 004.2 [Public, last post didn't happen]
[The page this is written on appears slightly creased, but remains open for all readers. The handwriting here is harried, as if the writer had suddenly suffered a shock.]
I now know, rather than fear, that I am in danger here. While this is certainly not a new sensation to me, these spirits pose a threat to me that I fear I have as yet no defense against.
I was awakened by a presence several minutes ago. When I opened my eyes, a transparent woman with a knife was hovering above my chest as if to stab me through the heart. I started, though remained silent, and when she noticed I was aware of her presence, she appeared frightened and disappeared.
This appears to be the same ghost who has troubled the ladies in past weeks and woke Miss Charles last night. She appears to be threatened by me, though whether it is because she is aware of my inquiries about her, or for other reasons, I cannot fathom.
Find places of worship in the neighborhood?
Sutras written on cartridges?
Why am I not strong enough for a knife or club?
[This appeared a few hours later, in a more presentable manner, and was clearly intended to be public.]
I have been observing our nightly visitors and noticed the patterns of their behavior and appearance, and may have collected enough information to determine if their behavior is out of the ordinary for the time they come from. I lack the knowledge to determine this on my own, so would like to speak with any of you who may be able to tell me.
Also, after an occurrence late last night, I have found it necessary to acquire a firearm, but am foreseeing difficulties in doing so due to my age and appearance. If one of the gentlemen here could assist me, you would have my gratitude.
