Who are you? Why are you so interested in this??

Who I am isn’t important, I’m only here to tell the truth as it is.

How did you get all this information together?

I have my sources but most of the things I have are things I’ve found on my own.

The Placer Times: Killer Escapes Local Asylum!!

October 7, 1968.

On October 5, 1968, Everett Gray, a 23 year old man who had been found guilty of first degree murder, escaped from the Ophelia Asylum late at night. He had some how acquired a knife and attacked and killed Ann Fletcher, the nurse tasked with checking on him periodically. During his rampage he attacked eighteen in total, thirteen of them died. The remaining five that survived were all patients and the thirteen that died were nurses and doctors. The head doctor, Dr. Bae Pyoun, refused to give anymore information on the incident and simply stated that the facility is doing all it can to track down and recapture Gray. 

However, thanks to one of our star reporters, who was able to sneak into the hospital and interview a couple of nurses about the incident, we’ve been able to obtain a bit more insight. 

One of the nurses boldly stated that it had been someone from the inside that had provided Gray with the knife while another says that it would’ve required someone very smart and good with words to convince on of the staff to do something like that and she noted that Gray was awkward and lacked that level of intelligence. 

We will try and keep you updated as much as possible but until Gray is caught please be cautious as authorities believe that he won’t leave town.

Follow-up Report Prior to Shiloh Fields’ Release from the Ophelia Asylum.

It’s been about three months since Mr. Fields was declared sane and was released. He has adapted well and has already found himself living on his own with a stable job at the local grocery store nearby. 

We had a very pleasant chat about what he planned to do in the future. He talked about moving to another town maybe and starting up a small business, like a flower shop or something. I told him it seemed like a great idea and that he could probably do it.

The conversation soon shifted over to other things and I blurted out that Everett Gray, a close friend that Fields had made at the hospital, might be released because of his good behavior. Mr. Fields seemed delighted to hear that and did not act suspiciously. He told me to tell Gray that if he did get out that he was free to stay at his place until he could get situated. He seemed very genuine and it didn’t seem like he knew that Gray had gone on a rampage and escaped from the asylum just two weeks ago.

After talking a bit longer Mr. Fields stated that he needed to get ready for work and so I said goodbye and left. I did not notice anything strange or out of the ordinary while I was at Fields’ residence.

Dr. Willis’ Journal Entry:

August 24th, 1921

It has been about a month since I've started seeing the Fields family. Miss Fields has been recovering from her recent separation from her husband. It has been slow and steady work but she is a strong woman and I have no doubt that she life can only get better from here.

However, her little boy worries me. He is a sweet child and very well mannered but I feel as if he is not being polite because that is his nature.

The more I see him and his mother interact the more I can tell that he is either being kind out of hatred or he is trying to be optimistic for his mother's sake.

I've asked Miss Fields if I could start seeing the boy as well and she seemed relieved by the offer. She talked about how distant he had been growing and all her worries about him. I assured her that I would do everything I can to help Shiloh.

I am by no means a child therapist so I can only pray that everything will turn out fine for these two.

Shiloh Fields Analysis by Dr. Davis of the Ophelia Asylum:

Name: Shiloh Fields

Age: 23

Sex: Male

Date of Birth: October 30th

Place of Birth: [REDACTED]

Height: 5’10”

Weight: Refuses to step anywhere near the scale

Hair color: Brown

Eye color: Grey (Note: Rare)

Status: Alive

Reason for being detained: He suddenly blew up one day and threatened to harm someone. He was then dragged screaming all the way to the police station. He was quickly labeled as mentally unwell and sent here.

Place of residence: [REDACTED]

Note on behavior: Shiloh Fields has been well behaved since he arrived here. He has been talking to the other patients and helping them with their problems even a few of our staff talk to him about small things that have been bothering them lately. He's been getting especially close to one of the patients here by the name of Everett Gray.

Gray is a destructive and equally valuable individual who was detained for killing a young girl and then claiming that voice in his head told him to do it. His initial reaction to Fields was shock and he would work himself up into hysterics fits and claimed Fields was the voice in his head but eventually he calmed down and now he and Fields talk almost every day. He is one of the handful of patients who has improved greatly because of Fields' reassuring presence.

Fields is very cooperative and since he's only in here for such a small reason it is likely that he will be released soon.

Family life: From his former therapist Dr. [REDACTED] we learned that Fields had a troubled family. His father left his mother so Shiloh hasn't had a father figure most his life. He apparently adapted in a way that Dr. [REDACTED] said was, "problematic," because, "he came to a sudden realization that he can't depend on others so he figured out the best way to avoid doing that." I frankly don't believe this is the case and that it was merely a neglectful family life that lead for him to shut off his emotions and let his feelings collect and build up until he suddenly blows up.

Dr. Willis’ Journal Entry:

May 17th, 1967

Today a bright young man walked into my office. He has a very warm and cheerful disposition and spoke very politely as he introduced himself. He said his name was Shiloh Fields and that he was a college student.

Shiloh looked to be in his early 20′s. He was slightly taller than average and had dark brown curls and soft misty grey eyes. He was sensibly dressed in a suit that was a soft shade of brown and wore a fashionable hat that matched his outfit. 

At first I didn’t recognize him but I had known Shiloh a long time ago. He and his mother had just moved to California and he had been struggling to adjust so they came to me. He had been my client for quite some time but after he graduated from high school he cancelled our meetings.

I was pleasantly surprised to see him today and how he’s changed. When he was a boy he was a very compulsive liar. At first I had simply labeled it as a defense mechanism but the longer I had gotten to know him the more I believed otherwise. His habit of lying did start as a defense mechanism but it had clearly become more of an addiction by the time he had first come to me.

He was strange because he never tried to make it look like he was telling the truth. He would go out of his way to be very obvious about it. No matter how good the lie was all you had to do was look into his eyes to know that he wasn’t telling the truth.

As I talked with him Shiloh seemed very genuine. His eyes didn’t give away any hints as he talked about how good he was doing in school and about how his life was going.  I am trying not to be negative and believe that he has outgrown his bad habits but I can never truly know with him. 

He said that he wanted to start having therapy sessions again and that he planned to visit me. We agreed on a time and talked a bit longer before parting ways.

I hope that Shiloh truly has changed and that his life has improved.

Dr. Willis’ Journal Entry:

Mau 17th, 1967

 My name is Dr. David Willis. I am a doctor of psychology with no real merit or achievements. I prefer it that way as it makes work easier. You see, I work as a small town therapist in a small town in California. There are a lot of interesting individuals that I have run into at my time here. With this journal I plan to record all of my observations on the people I’ve met.

The Beginning

The year was 1971, a young girl had been allegedly murdered by her neighbors. There was strong evidence against them and while they didn’t have a clear motive they were still found guilty in the end. 

It wasn’t until after the “murders” were given the death sentence and were killed were they found innocent.

That was when people realized; there was a killer on the loose.
