The Crawford House

Ervil LeBaron is contacted by a relative and finds out he is heir to the Crawford House, located on several acres just outside the town of Innsmouth, Massachusetts. Accompanied by Capt. Slayhab, LeBaron journeys to New England and eventually locates the house.

Seaching the old residence, they find two journals (the Diaries of Jeremy Crawford and Elizabeth Crawford). Following a lead, they then do some research on the family's legacy in the area -- which leads them to former house servant Richard Manning who implies irregularities in Crawford family death records and points them towards the South Woods Memorial Cemetery. LeBaron and Slayhab attempt to exhume ancestors from the Crawford family plot at the graveyard, but some bodies are missing??!?

Over the next several days, a series of killings occurs in the area -- first small pets, then farm animals, and finally a neighbor's young child. Looking for clues outside the Crawford house, LeBaron and Slayhab encounter a monster (Deep One hybrid?) which calls out hideously to Ervil (somehow recognizing him?), but which they summarily kill.

Ervil begins having particularly vivid and disturbing dreams relating to Innsmouth....
