THE FINAL PAGE

UNIDENTIFIED PHOTOGRAPH
Recovered with A.'s final materials — Date unknown

THE FINAL PAGE

The last complete newspaper in the recovered collection is dated September 13, 1957.

A.’s final journal entry appears to have been written shortly afterward.

It ends in the middle of a sentence.

There are no later journal entries among the recovered materials.

No explanation for what happened to A.

And no indication that A. ever returned to the house.

WHAT WE KNOW

The house described in the final newspaper stood on land repeatedly connected to the events documented throughout the collection.

Beneath the surrounding neighborhood, workers reportedly uncovered bones, rusted restraints and fragments of institutional clothing.

The patients of the old asylum had once been dressed in white shirts and blue denim trousers.

Many were never accounted for after the asylum burned.

The cemetery was said to have been relocated.

Whether all of its dead were moved remains unclear.

And when the ground was disturbed again in 1957, thousands of spiders reportedly emerged from beneath the house.

Then A. went there.

THE LAST WORDS

I would make this a visually separate section and reproduce only the final lines from A.’s journal—ideally as a cropped portion of the actual journal image, rather than typed text.

The final visible words ending with:

“I feel…”

Then give the page some empty space before the last section.

THE FILE REMAINS OPEN

No later complete newspaper pages were recovered with A.’s collection.

That does not mean none existed.

Other pages may have been lost.

Fragments may remain undiscovered.

And some questions raised by these files still have no answers.

Perhaps A. was wrong about what was happening beneath Burbank.

Perhaps A. simply got too close to finding out.

Then, at the very bottom:

SOME STORIES ARE BURIED.

OTHERS ARE WAITING TO BE FOUND.
