Miskatonic University Announces Discovery of Cthulhu Journal

Arkham, MA, July 26, 2005

A spokesman for Miskatonic University in Arkham, MA, announced today that a team of archaeologists recently unearthed what is believed to be the personal journal of Great Cthulhu, a Great Old One worshipped by ancient cults.

Members of the archaeological expedition were reported to be undergoing extensive medical treatment following a long, arduous trek through extremely remote areas. University representatives declined to offer details about where the expedition unearthed the apparent diary of the ancient god, citing concerns about looting and vandalism. Officials promised more details as soon as they have secured the site.

"We'll be providing extensive details about this exciting discovery," Dr. B.T. Coltrane, head of the university's archaeological department, assured press conference attendees. "Members of our linguistics, anthropology, and archaeology departments are working very hard to translate this ancient text, and we'll be releasing those translations as they are completed. Our archaeological team will also grant interviews as soon as doctors determine they are healthy enough to do so."

When asked about an ambulance seen leaving the university hospital that morning and heading toward Arkham Asylum, Coltrane quickly ended the press conference.
