In the rural town of Porterville, California, there is something sinister lurking. It started with dead animals, and then moved on to the occasional farm worker, mutilated. At first it was thought to be a wild animal, then maybe a serial killer, but then reports started surfacing of a demonic garden gnome. Luckily, America's #1 paranormal investigation and elimination company has just opened up a branch in nearby Fresno. When the faeries are afoot, danger is about, and lives are on the line, who you gonna' call?
Note: This game is a sequel to a 1930s pulp adventure game I ran at DOW some years ago. Players from that game may find this one especially amusing.
