He has been hired by a wealthy solicitor to locate a missing client, a millionaire who has disappeared under somewhat mysterious circumstances. It's believed by the solicitor that his client may have either lost his sanity and run off, or has done something silly, like kill himself.You're a medical doctor with a 1920's understanding of Psychoanalysis and Psychology, and are hopefully going to be able to offer some insight. Possibly even help the missing person if he can be found alive.When you arrive in the town, you discover that the missing person had placed an order for a truck load of salt (literally). The solicitor and his financial manager had cancelled the order when they couldn't get hold of the client, because they thought the client had lost his mind ordering tons of salt to be delivered to his home.After initial investigations at the local town hall, library, sheriffs office and church, you get the keys to the missing persons house and head over to investigate his last known whereabouts. Hoping to find some clue as to where he may have gone. Apart from some previous (apparently explained) deaths at the property, nothing seems to be out of the ordinary - apart from the missing persons recent return from South America, and his apparent obsession with keeping slugs at bay ... by putting salt at all the doorways and windows ...Now sure, As a PC, I've got warning bells going off like air raid sirens in my ears and I'm thinking - must buy SALT! But, as the character, a sane and supernaturally unaware Doctor, I'm just thinking, "this poor bloke must have lost his mind, we need to find him before he does something silly, assuming it's not already too late".Upon arrival at the house, some strange things happen. A sudden sighting of a man wielding an axe in a clothes cupboard  - who upon second look turn out to be just an overcoat on a coat hook, and then parts of the building falling apart around us for no apparent reason. Followed by people wearing strange clothes seen moving in a peculiar manner in the back garden when upon further inspection no one seems to be there or to have ever been there.Being the helpful Psychoanalyst, after the initial shock has worn off, I point out that these things are probably just consensual figments of our own heightened imaginations caused by the abandoned state of the building and the fact that we have been reading up on all the suspicious events that have occurred at the house over the years. The mind plays tricks.So far, nothing actually 'supernatural' has occurred.How scared should we be?</blockquote>
