	Special Notes: The artist Nelson Blakeley (and possibly his fiance) might best be introduced to the investigators in an earlier scenario, if possible. The scenario's author suggests random encounters with Evelyn Bancroft's little cult at the discretion of the keeper, with run-ins between the cult and Deep Ones who are working to hasten Blakeley's transformation, and also random encounters at embarrassing moments with a derelict who acquired one of the paintings if the investigators buy or steal the painting from him.

The 6th Edition version of "The Haunting" included a brief reference to one of Blakeley's paintings in the Corbitt House, with the artist's business card.

	Sequel Plot Hooks: The cultists, art collectors, and the derelict Jacob might all suggest lead-ins to other scenarios; the witches and Nyarlathotep met randomly in the Dreamlands might also be a lead-in to Nyarlathotep-related scenarios; if the Deep Ones make an appearance, they could suggest a lead-in to Deep One-related scenarios.

The 6th Edition version of "The Haunting" loosely links this and scenarios from other Chaosium products together into a mini-campaign, though little more than a few sentences are devoted to these links and they are treated as optional suggestions to be fleshed out in more detail by the Keeper.
