UM, I'LL BE

ALL RIGHT.

YOU LIED TO ME.

NOW TELL ME:

THE TRUTH!

KEEP YOUR VOICE:

DOWN, WILL YOU?

WHY IS SHE HERE?

I TOLD YOU, HER CAR

BROKE DOWN.

WHAT ABOUT THIS?

DON'T BE RIDICULOUS.

AND THOSE:

PEOPLE.

YOU TOLD ME NO ONE

KNEW SHE WAS HERE.

THEY DON'T MATTER.

THAT MAN ARMITAGE WROTE

THE PAPER ON MY FATHER.

HE KNOWS ALL ABOUT US.

I DON'T HAVE

TO ANSWER TO YOU.

I DO WHAT I WANT.

COME BACK HERE!

LET THE BOOK BE!

[Machinery drowning out

conversation]

YOU KNOW,

IT HAPPENED:

25 YEARS AGO.

THEY WERE:

A STRANGE FAMILY.

I JUST HOPE THERE'S

SOMETHING IN THERE.

THIS USED TO BE:

THE TOWN BANK, YOU KNOW.

AH, HERE IT IS.

THIS IS THE ONE.

LET'S GET IT

OUT IN THE LIGHT.

AH, HERE IT IS

JUST LIKE I TOLD YOU.

"MOTHER NAMED LAVINIA,

FATHER UNKNOWN.

"CHILD CALLED WILBUR."

I SET THAT TYPE MYSELF

25 YEARS AGO.

WHO WAS THE DELIVERING

PHYSICIAN?

SAME OLD DOC:

THAT DELIVERS:

ALL OF THEM:

AROUND HERE...

DOC CORY.

THANK YOU,

MR. FULLER.

ELIZABETH--

DR. ARMITAGE!

IF I WERE YOU, I'D STAY

AWAY FROM THE WHATELEYS.

ELIZABETH.

THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL

TOWN SQUARE.

70 YEARS AGO,

THERE WAS A BIG:

OAK TREE RIGHT THERE

IN THE MIDDLE:

OF THE STREET.

THAT'S WHERE THE

PEOPLE OF DUNWICH

LYNCHED MY:

GREAT-GRANDFATHER.

THEY JUST LET HIM

HANG THERE:

FOR DAYS AND DAYS

AND DAYS AND DAYS.

THEN THEY BURNED

THE TREE DOWN:

TO THE GROUND.

WILBUR, STOP IT.

IT'S JUST HISTORY.

WHY DID THEY DO IT?

BECAUSE HE:

DIDN'T BELIEVE

IN WHAT:

THEY BELIEVED.

BECAUSE HE WASN'T

AFRAID OF THEIR GOD

OR THEIR DEVIL EITHER,

FOR THAT MATTER.

IN FACT, HE THOUGH THEY WERE PRETTY

MUCH ALIKE.

WHAT DID HE BELIEVE IN?

IN ANOTHER:

RACE OF BEINGS:

FROM A DIFFERENT

DIMENSION.

AN EARLIER RACE,

SUPERIOR TO MAN.

AND HE BELIEVED:

THEY COULD BE:

BROUGHT BACK.

YOU MEAN THEY:

HANGED HIM FOR THAT?

YES.

THEY TRUMPED UP:

A MURDER CHARGE:

TO COVER IT UP.

A GIRL HAD:

DISAPPEARED AND--

THEN WITHOUT:

A SHRED OF EVIDENCE,

THEY WENT AFTER HIM.

THEY CLAIMED HE USED HER

IN SOME SORT OF SACRIFICE.

YOU MUST BE:

WORRIED, TOO,

TO GO TO ALL:

OF THIS TROUBLE.

OK, THE DOCTOR

WILL SEE YOU NOW.

THANK YOU.

I WON'T BE LONG.

DR. CORY?

YES?

I'M HENRY ARMITAGE,

DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY.

I'M LECTURING

AT THE UNIVERSITY

IN ARKHAM.

OH, YES, YES,

WELL...

WHAT CAN I DO:

FOR YOU, DOCTOR?

I'M...NOT SURE.

I HAVE A RATHER:

STRANGE REQUEST.

WELL, A COUNTRY

DOCTOR'S

USED TO THEM.

PLEASE, SIT DOWN.

THANK YOU.

WELL, NOW...

PLEASE GO AHEAD.

I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU

SOME QUESTIONS:

ABOUT THE WHATELEY FAMILY.

WELL, THAT'S AN ODD

BIRD OF AN AILMENT,

BUT IT FLARES UP

NOW AND AGAIN:

IN THESE PARTS.

HAVEN'T YOU

EVER BEEN THERE?

ARE YOU KIDDING?

I WOULDN'T GO
