CONCLUSION

You've tracked down the source of paranormal activity at 407 Washington. You've collected the clues and solved the puzzles to discover the fate of Charles Walker, the mysterious journal writer from 1890.

Which spirit received help from the Artomatic visitors? Was it Charles, the author of the journal entries? Or William, whose death and later mistreatment at the hands of Charles caused him to take vengeance on his former friend? Only 6 votes separated the two!

Below is the complete story. You can skip straight to the conclusion by clicking here.

 

Congratulations, you've found all of the missing journal entries and have pieced together what happened in this building over a century ago! As you come to a greater understanding of what happened, you begin to feel the presence of both William and Charles surrounding you. From the objects that have been recovered on your journey, you believe you have the means to help one of them find peace at last by helping them pass on to the spirit world. Unfortunately, you will only be able to help one of them...

------

With a trembling hand, you carefully set out the items you collected while following the leads in Charles's journal entries. Deciding who to help was a difficult decision to make, and you're still not sure you've made the correct choice. You focus your thoughts and put all doubts aside. You'll need full concentration for this to work, any distractions could be disastrous. You take a deep breath and start the ritual...

After 120 years of waiting, William poised himself to be released from a prison that the unliving sometimes find themselves in. Although already made of air, William's incorporeal body floated not of his own control but by forces even he had not yet come to understand. He felt as though he was being sucked into a tornado, but there was no noise to accompany the twister that shot him into the sky. At first he rose quickly, but his ascension was halted by jerking motions sideways and sudden thrusts downward that left him wondering at times if what he hoped was happening truly was. William felt a rumble in his chest. For the first time in over a century he actually, physically felt something.

As the rumble grew in his chest William steadied in the air miles above the ground. He could feel the air around him seep into his already lighter-than-air body. He could feel the intensity of the rumble increase. He felt alive again. Even in life he had never felt so good, felt this kind of euphoria that he thought everybody should be lucky enough to experience before they could experience nothing else. William noticed the area around him get brighter. He looked all around until he realized that he was the light. In that instant William burst into countless balls of light so pure that everything in existence could see him.

The living could see him although they could not completely comprehend what they saw. Thinking it must have been a camera flash or light reflected from a passing car, they felt better afterward and were not quite sure why.

Emily could see him from the spirit world and was overjoyed that William had found peace.

Finally, those still lingering in limbo could see him. Somewhere far away, even Charles could see his old friend finally become free. Smiling up toward the sky, his friend and his daughter, his feet slowly began rising off of the floor...
