"Don't think so. I know a few fellows were talking to her last year about the same thing. Students from someplace or other. Say, you're not from there are you?"

Doc laughs. "Do I look like a student to you? No, we're working on a research project independently. Funny that there were others looking for this! Wish we could talk to them, whoever they were." he chuckles again. "Are there any locals who might be interested in that sort of thing? Aside from this so-called witch?"

She thinks for a moment, "A while ago the Doctor was looking for books about vampires. Haven't a clue why. People can get interested in strange things when living in remote areas."

Quite. Perhaps we’ll pay him a visit later. In the meantime, do you mind if we take a look through those newspapers? I think it would help us get a real sense of this town’s flavor.

"Please, go ahead. Last person to look through those was a young Father from that University expedition. Looking at obituaries, he was. Lovely man." She smiles to herself at the memory and goes about her business.

Doc wheels up and leafs through the newspapers, keeping an eye out for anything in the obituaries that might have been of interest to the expedition. "Bill, Clive, unless you have something else you'd like to research while you're here, why don't you help me look through these? I figured we're most interested in any recent events, but you two may know better than I."

Do I need to make a check?

No need for a check

Looking through the back issues of the local paper, Doc Crenshaw, Bill and Clive do notice an uncommonly high death rate among the obituaries among the youth of Cobb's Corners. Of particular note, in 1909, the 4 young men and 2 young women, all aged 17-18 died that summer though seemingly not at the same time. Words like accidental death and unusual or unknown circumstances, are cited for these.

"Strange. Were you around when these deaths occurred, Mrs. Carruthers? Any idea what sort of 'unusual circumstances' they might be talking about?"

Lived here since I was born in 1878. I heard about odd deaths, something about being drained of blood I remember. Or perhaps that was that film. My memory is not what it used to be.

Must be why the Doctor was looking for information about vampires... Clive mumbles to Bill. He then looks up to the librarian. Could you tell us how to get in touch with Ms. Bellweather and the farmer?
