The power went out across the city, which made the hotel unusually quiet. With nothing else going on, I went down into the morgue at the 1886 Crescent Hotel and decided to run an Ovilus session.
This wasn’t something I planned ahead of time. I stayed in the parts room, where the specimen bottles are kept. They’re tied to Norman Baker and were dug up behind the hotel years ago. They’ve stayed in that room ever since.
The Ovilus didn’t start responding right away. When it did, the words that came through were tied to chemicals, then injury. After that, it clearly said “homicide,” which stood out enough for me to stop and pay attention.
When I started to walk out of the room, the device activated again. When I stopped moving, it went quiet. That happened more than once, which was hard to ignore.
I moved into the body cooler after that, and the responses changed again.
If you’ve watched a lot of my investigations in the Crescent Hotel morgue, you will see that this one has a different feel to it.
