 * November 18th room 1408 of the Dolphin Hotel features its' first guest, hedge fund manager of Trancas State Trust in the district of Newborough, New York Terrence O'Malley. O'Malley is apparently murdered in what would become an unsolved case, as his decomposing corpse after being reported missing was found within a span of ten minutes by investigating Officers Derick Peterson and Walt Goldman in the ventilation shaft of the room. Autopsy by the acting coroner Daniel Bishop determined the cause of death to be autopsy whilst alive. All of O'Malley's vital organs from the heart to stomach to kidneys had been crudely removed and his chest in the same messy fashion stitched shut again. On November 24th O'Malley's murderer came forward and plead guilty, drifter Allan Hawes aged 24. Hawes in his testimony stated that he briefly checked into room 1408 and after 25 minutes checked out of the Dolphin Hotel. He blames the room itself for making him return offering to spare his life if he took every part of O'Malley, and that the room itself in speaking to him in its' horrifying voice had commanded such. Hawes was executed on December 16th by hangman's noose.
