A Treatise on the Supernatural Cases Collected in My Practice By Dr. Martin Hesselius, Physician and Metaphysician In the course of my professional inquiries, I have encountered a series of perplexing and profound cases, which I have endeavored to document herein for the illumination of future scholars in the fields of medicine, philosophy, and the occult. The following chronicles reveal incidents that defy the rational constraints of science and suggest the haunting presence of a reality beyond our comprehension. In "Green Tea," I present the case of a clergyman tormented by an invisible specter, a malign force that manifests itself with increasing intensity as the poor man spirals into despair. I then recount the troubling tale of "The Familiar," where a naval officer is relentlessly pursued by a shadowy entity, one that seems bound to him by some dreadful fate. Further examination reveals the case of "Mr. Justice Harbottle," a judge plagued by ghostly visitations, foretelling a sinister reckoning for his past deeds. I also draw attention to "The Room in the Dragon Volant," a mystery of curious events surrounding a young man who becomes ensnared in a web of intrigue, deceit, and deadly consequence. Lastly, I must not fail to address "Carmilla," a narrative of vampiric seduction and horror, wherein an innocent girl finds herself prey to a beautiful but deadly predator, leading to revelations that shake the very foundations of life and death. These cases, presented in their true and unvarnished form, stand as irrefutable evidence of the supernatural realm that lies just beyond our understanding. It is my hope that this work will serve as both a warning and an invitation to those who, like myself, are unafraid to gaze through the glass darkly and confront the mysteries that lurk beyond.
