Campus Crusade for Cthulhu: IT found ME!
Famous Residents of Arkham

Cassandria Roberts, great-daughter of a very famous (and dreaded) pirate, made her home in Arkham for many years. Her parrot, Ralph, was stuffed after his untimely death and is on display at the Arkham Museum of Natural History.

It was not known until after her death that her left leg was entirely wooden. She had it made with painted tattoos to match the right one.

James Halfwheat and Ronald Q. Morris with the strange insect that followed them home from a summer outing in the woods.

The insect behaved much like a dog, fetching the paper and such, until one morning the bodies of the men were found wrapped in silk and hung from the rafters of their attic, along with six of the neighbors.

The insect has never been found.

The Strange Pet

At least it wasn't a BB gun

John Zimble and his two sons, Frederick and Waffle, were active on the vaudeville circuit in the Arkham area. Frederick and Waffle played fiddle, while their father did his famous one-legged kicking dance.

One evening, due to the different handedness of the boys, they both stroked upwards at the same time with their bows and put their father's eyes out.


Nana and Willard Bullhocky were fond of beetles, roaches, crickets and caterpillars.

They published a cookbook in 1899, entitled "Eating Insects: The Way To Health" that was a best-seller in Arkham and San Francisco.

The Southwestern section of the cookbook involved centipedes and scorpions, and was only recommended for those used to very spicy foods.

Bugs are GOOD for you!

Muriel the Strangler

Muriel Leghorn-Frume, with her strangler's scarf, was quite the hit in Arkham's Temples in the 1920s.

She would pick her victims from the congregation, usually middle-aged men hypnotized by her sinuous movements, drape her scarf around their neck, and despatch them in one quick move.

She was surprisingly strong.


In early 1997, Johnathan Twiddle, a reporter for the Enquirer, went exploring in the basement of the Temple of H***** with his camera. The next morning, searchers found his camera with one exposure taken. This is the picture that was developed from that piece of film.

They also found his bloodstained hat, and the soles of his feet, but nothing else.

The Final Photo

Hiram Curwen

Hiram Curwen found that silver shot worked not at all on the band of nightgaunts that ate him and his family on their isolated farm outside of Arkham.

Temple Dancers: 1932

A fine group of Temple Dancers circa 1932.

Their loss in the Ritual of the Unnamed in 1934 was a true tragedy.


James T. Higgins III experimented with vivisection when he was young.

He went on to much bigger things, founding the Vivisectionists' Club of Arkham in 1901 and owning a sausage-making business that was quite popular until the FDA stepped in.

Pre-Human Remains

Dr. Thaddeus Renfield's autopsy in 1934 of the pre-human remains found in the Arkham Catacombs caused much consternation among international anthropologists.

The remains were fresh.
