- At the river the investigators notice that Patrick must have been pulled into the river...

- He tells them that there is more amiss in Dunwich than one might think and reports of Mr. Haverson and the cult of the Believers.
- toegther they search for Patrick, but the bus driver remains missing.
- Back at the store they meet detective Miller who asks some questions and has a strange tattoo, like one Mr. haverson also had.
- As Cummings hears that the telephones are dead and they are not allowed Dunwich for at least three days, he draws his gun, thinking Osborne might also be behind something that goes on in the village.
- Miller and the investigators are able to calm him down, yet the incident will not go without consequences and Cummings has to hand his gun over.
- The professor mentions that he saw the tattoo of the Believers on Miller's wrist.

- The investigators try to find a way to get to the Whateley Farm unnoticed, but soon find out that the Believers keep an eye on them.
- They are able to catch a boy who has killed Mrs. Hobbes' bird Mr. Cheeps to warn the old lady, but when Daniel beats the freaky kid up, he is nearly shot.
- The investigators decide that they have to take Mrs. Hobbes with them, for the safety of the old lady.
- Luckily they stay long enough to meet Reggie, Mrs Hobbes' nephew, who accompanies them to the Whateley Farm.
- At about midnight they reach the farm, a grotesque building, but as they also meet Old Man Whateley, things become only stranger...

16th of July 1927
