The private study of the head librarian for the Cross Branch of Miskatonic University has been closed since 1934.
Dr. Enoch Millenia was a small, industrious man who excelled at the study of the various Germanic languages and was considered by many to be an expert in the field of Nordic mythologies. His private study was his crowning jewel, a place where he could show close friends the wonderful objects and books, he had collected over 30 years in academia.
On the night of January 11, 1933, Enoch retired to his rooms in a small house on the university’s grounds. Once there, his housekeeper heard him retire to his library. She distinctly remembered him turning the key in the lock, thus ensuring he would not be disturbed.
A short time after 10 pm, the housekeeper heard a horrendous noise from the second floor, and the entire house shook.
According to the housekeeper, Enoch laughed, said something in a language she did not understand, and then his laughter turned into a pain-filled shriek. A voice, “painful to hear,” bellowed, and the glass in the windows on the first floor broke.
When she managed to reach the study and unlock it with the spare key, she found exactly what is seen in the photograph.
The room was stripped bare, and there was no sign of Dr. Enoch Millenia.
After an extensive investigation, the school secured the room, and the university keeps the room locked. Enoch remains listed as missing.
