Police Report - CASE CLOSED - 25/12
The Christmas Incident, as the media have dubbed it, is one of the most disconcerting and contested mass murders in the history of crime. On the 24th of December 1968, the Johnson family was found in their Riverside home in southern Illinois. Three members of the family of four were found dead. Their second-born Freddy Johnson was housed in the Sinclair Institution for the Mentally Disturbed at the time. Paramedics confirmed that the family died from a synced heart failure, but this seems very unlikely. The eldest child, Max was found holding a Christmas themed doll that belonged to the only child of the house’s previous owner, Clarence. The doll was based on the popular character of folklore, Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas or Santa Claus. This is referenced to when Max mentions he 'can't wait for Santa to come'. The doll can be seen below this report. Clarence had died shortly after eating a Christmas themed chocolate from an advent calendar sixteen years prior to the event. Freddy seems to have been controlled or forced by the 'ghost' of Clarence to play tricks. This can be heard in Max's recording when he mentions that he only does what 'Clarence tells him to do'. It was said that you could hear his spirit crying in the basement around Christmas time, but this has not been confirmed except by Mrs Johnson mentioning 'hearing the crying again'. It is believed Max Johnson saw the spirit as a real person, his second brother. The house was covered with Max's drawings and the 'tricks' he had played on his innocent parents on the day of their death. [End Report]

Shortly after Max was found with Clarence, the doll was accidentally left back when the bodies were taken away. Some may say that Clarence lies in the shadows, waiting for its next victim...
