Chris Jennings (March 1, 1969)
I woke up this morning in the woods, covered in blood. What happened last night? Carolyn! I had to find out. I couldn’t let anyone see me like this. Back at the cottage, I pulled all the shades and started picking up. There was a knock at the door… Barnabas Collins. I took off my…

It had been only a day after moving into the cottage that I was at Collinwood and Carolyn asked me how I liked it. I told her it’s fine, just what I need, private and away from other people. She asked what I had against other people? When I answered, “Nothing,” she said I just…

For once, I had a good day. I got a nice haircut this afternoon and took Carolyn to dinner tonight. When I took her back to Collinwood, she suggested I live there; well, in a cottage where a caretaker used to live. She explained she’d feel better if I lived on the property and asked…

Around 8:15, I went to Collinwood to see Amy, although I had an ulterior motive: I needed to find out what happened to Joe. Mrs. Johnson answered the door and I asked if anybody else had come by to see Amy lately, specifically, my cousin. I explained that I hadn’t been able to find him…

What do people do in the daytime in Collinsport? I mean, why did I find Joe in my hotel room just as the moon was rising? I told him he better get out of here, but he said not until I answered his question. As I paused, he raised his voice, “Answer!” He raised my…

I was pacing the floor at Collinwood when Maggie entered. She told me she had left Amy playing at the Old House. Then she realized there was something I didn’t know. Mrs. Stoddard had hired her to replace Vicki; she was going to be taking care of Amy. I told Maggie that would be great…

My furry alter ego must love to crash through windows. As I had done at the Blue Whale, that’s exactly what I did at Joe’s home after spotting him inside. He put up a good fight, wrestling and knocking into furniture. At one point, I hit him with a chair, but he got up and…

I looked out the window, then looked at myself in the mirror. I paced impatiently. I finally picked up the phone and asked the operator to dial Collinwood. Barnabas Collins answered, but when I asked to speak to Dr. Hoffman, he told me it wasn’t possible for her to come to the phone. He asked…

That girl in the bar… that girl… every time I think of her… tomorrow night the moon will be full. I can’t let it happen again. I can’t. Joe interrupted my thoughts by knocking on my door. I let him in and we exchanged pleasantries. He asked how I was and, when I said, “I’m…

Chris Jennings (Feb. 15, 1969)
Carolyn and I went out again tonight, and when I took her home, she seemed frightened and asked me to come in. She mentioned that the house is so gloomy… and “that poor girl at the Blue Whale.” That was my cue to leave before we got too deep into that subject. I told her…
