Evelyn Vale was involved in the first recorded Eerie Oakhaven incident concerning the player: an impossible apartment identified as Apartment 201. The apartment appeared to exist despite contradictory building records and seemed to respond to memories, treating them as something that could be taken or used as rent.

A notebook inside the apartment referenced the player. A white cat was also present during the incident.

Evelyn's experience established the earliest known connection between Oakhaven's strange locations and memory-related phenomena.

Marianne Bell was involved in the Eerie Oakhaven incident surrounding the impossible Last Bus Stop. The bus stop was associated with a bus service that had supposedly stopped running twenty years earlier.

During the incident, the player encountered a bus ticket dated tomorrow, suggesting a connection between the impossible bus stop and events outside the expected timeline. The white cat may also have appeared during the incident.

Marianne's experience contributed to the growing pattern of Oakhaven locations behaving in ways that contradict ordinary records and history.

Clara Vey was involved in an Eerie Oakhaven incident concerning an impossible room inside a house where the player was staying. The room contained evidence suggesting that it remembered the player despite their apparent lack of previous connection to it.

Photographs, letters, mirrors and other details within the room presented contradictory versions of history and implied that events could be remembered differently from what actually occurred.

Clara's incident reinforced the recurring connection between Oakhaven's anomalies, memory and contradictory histories.

Eleanor Graves was involved with an antique shop in Oakhaven that appeared to open after midnight and contained objects that should not have been there.

Among the unusual objects associated with the shop were a tarnished silver key, a bus ticket, old photographs and a clock. Some parts of the shop appeared to contain more space or rooms than its physical structure should allow.

The shop became an important early source of recurring objects and clues connecting separate Eerie Oakhaven incidents.

Iris Bellamy is a photographer who became involved in an Eerie Oakhaven incident involving impossible photographs.

Her photographs depicted people, places and events that could not have existed as shown. Some images appeared to show events decades before they should have occurred or events that had not yet happened. One photograph showed Iris with the player despite circumstances that should have made the image impossible.

The photographs connected the mystery to contradictory versions of the past and future. Other recurring clues, including the antique shop and bus incident, appeared in connection with the photographs.

Nora Ashcroft was involved in the Eerie Oakhaven incident surrounding a mysterious motel and Room 13.

the player appeared to have a reservation at the motel that had been made twenty years earlier, despite the circumstances making that impossible. Room 13 could appear and disappear, and the incident carried an unexplained sense of an approaching checkout or deadline.

The motel introduced the number 13 as a recurring element of the wider mystery.

Vivienne Holloway was involved in the Eerie Oakhaven incident at the library, where an Uncatalogued Archive appeared after midnight.

The archive contained books describing impossible histories, memories and possible future events. A book bearing the player's name contained information that should not have existed, including a chapter dated tomorrow.

The archive provided further evidence that Oakhaven's anomalies could involve memory, history and possible future events rather than being limited to physical locations.

Elara Wren was involved in the Eerie Oakhaven incident at the lake, where reflections could display people, places and events that were not physically present.

The lake could show impossible versions of reality, including the player appearing in a reflection before they had apparently arrived. Other recurring clues were also reflected or associated with the incident, including the silver key, an old photograph, the white cat and the Clock Tower.

The lake expanded the mystery beyond impossible rooms and objects into alternate or contradictory versions of reality.

Margot Everly inherited an old house at the end of a forgotten lane. The house appeared capable of changing its rooms, furniture, photographs and objects according to different memories or contradictory versions of its history.

Records suggested that Margot had occupied the house decades before she was born. When the player visited, the house produced a bedroom apparently intended for them, accompanied by a note stating that they had forgotten the house before.

The house contained or revealed clues associated with earlier incidents, including photographs, a library card, a bus ticket, the silver key, the Clock Tower and the number 13.

Margot actively investigated the house and became aware that other Oakhaven anomalies might be connected.

Vivian Mercer lives in an old one-storey apartment building where unexplained sounds come from an upstairs floor that should not exist.

Every night, footsteps, running water, furniture being moved and doors opening could be heard above. At exactly 3:00 AM, three knocks came from above. An impossible staircase sometimes appeared and disappeared.

Objects associated with other Eerie Oakhaven incidents began falling through the ceiling, including a photograph, a motel key marked 13, a library card and a tarnished silver key.

An impossible green door marked 13 eventually appeared in the building. A note stated, "THE OTHER ONE HAS ALREADY MET THEM." Another message stated, "THE TENANT IS HOME."

Vivian became directly involved in investigating the phenomenon.

Evelyn Hart owns a small antique repair shop specializing in clocks, telephones, radios and other obsolete mechanical or electrical devices.

A black rotary telephone in the shop had been disconnected for approximately twenty years, yet it began ringing every night at 3:00 AM. An unknown woman on the line appeared to know impossible information about Oakhaven and previous incidents and had begun asking about the player.

Evelyn possessed several objects associated with earlier mysteries, including the tarnished silver key, motel key 13, library card, bus ticket and photographs. She also had a damaged photograph of the Clock Tower showing 3:00.

The caller referred to previous incidents and to "the other one," making Evelyn's incident the point where separate people and clues began to appear explicitly connected.

Celeste Rowan owns the Rowan Guesthouse, an old boarding house near the edge of Oakhaven.

The guesthouse's records continued to record guests even when the building was closed to ordinary visitors. the player's name appeared repeatedly in the guestbook, including an entry claiming that they had stayed there twenty years earlier.

A photograph showed Celeste and the player among thirteen people at a dinner that Celeste remembered taking but could not fully remember. The guesthouse contained several recurring objects and clues, including the silver key, motel key 13, library card, bus ticket and Clock Tower photograph.

The guestbook eventually produced the message "THIRTEEN WERE INVITED. TWELVE CAME BACK." An invitation addressed to the player referred to the Thirteenth Door.

Celeste became the central figure in the final stage of the Eerie Oakhaven mystery and accompanied the player to the Clock Tower.
