1) The second letter of Doris, particularly the postscript confirms: the werewolf attack, the strange basement, the rapist dwarf, and locking up the vampire. Not to mention the appearance of ghost Ted in the main body of the letter.<br>

5) The fact that a ex-con swindler somehow obtained valuable real estate in Medicine Man.<br><br>The more I hear that all of this was forged by Bax somehow, and he was the Collator so he could change all the letters as much as he wished, the weaker the case appears to me. There has to be a core of events that "actually happened" that is confirmed by independent evidence.<br>
