WEASEL-YOUTH SPOTTED NEAR FAUST ESTATE!!!!
San Francisco-1926
City Residents Beware! A weasel-faced youth was spotted by this reporter's own eyes as it lurked near the Estate of famed San Franciscan Deacon Faust! Upon being silhouetted by my coach lights, the boy scampered down an alley and sought shelter in a nearby modest home. My pursuit led me to the door, which was answered a man claiming to be the creature's father, who unconvincingly argued his case for the boy's normality! As our heated discussion continued, the boy-weasel peered out from his hiding place, looking for all the world a normal boy! You can imagine my shock and suprise! My suprise was heightened by the physical pummeling given to me by the boy's father, who broke both my nose and my cane, and unceremoniously dumped me in the garbage outside.
I urge all citizens to arm themselves against the upcoming relentless assault of the lycanthrope weasel-boy and his cabal of human minions!
About the Author: Ezekial Sawyer regularly submits articles to The Public Eye, and was published once in November of 1924. His chief concern is the safety of all residents of this fair city and the investigation of all things paranormal.
Sawyer was born on a farm in rural Georgia in 1850 and served in the Confederate army during the Civil War. After the war, he worked as a cobbler, a librarian, a miner, and had a short stint as a paddleboat captain. Sawyer served as a mercenary in several locales and rode up San Juan Hill with Roosevelt's Rough Riders. On several occasions during his life, Sawyer went to sea as a merchant sailor, where his travels led him to Africa, Tahiti, Hawaii, China, and India. It was in these exotic locales that his interest in the supernatural began. Since that time, he has relentlessly acquired vast knowledge of the paranormal in order to safeguard normal folk from the unexplained! Sawyer relocated to San Francisco after a generous grant from the City of Los Angeles, who assure him that all things supernatural have been eradicated from their city by his efforts! | |
