Chris Jennings (March 2, 1969)
It was a strange, windless day on the Collinwood estate when I went to see Amy. I walked in on her sitting in a big chair reading a book. Before I could say anything, she told me I was funny, standing there looking at her and frowning. I told her I was just thinking how…

When I knocked at Collinwood, Barnabas opened the door. Dr. Hoffman stood behind him and asked if I was all right. When I told her yes, that I was actually worried about Carolyn, she said that she had been worried about me. Why? Barnabas interrupted and said there was no need for her to worry…

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…
