* The Hesselius Papers - papers of Dr Martin Hesselius, “the German physician” and “medical philosopher,” a strange, semi-legendary 19th-century figure on the borderline between medical science and occultism. Some of his most celebrated and bizarre cases are associated with Britain. Hesselius's name started reappearing in press clippings with a recent date, following the rediscovery of his collected papers in an attic in a Georgian house in Dublin late last year. The Hesselius papers were then put up for auction at Sotheby's because of their interest for the English market. A well-known celebrity psychic, London society figure and self-styled occultist, Aleister Singleton, bought them a month ago “for the nation,” and has offered regular loan exhibitions at the British Library. There’s been some controversy because they were found in Ireland, but Dublin City Council decided to seek the best price at auction and sold them through Sotheby's Special Projects Department. A British Library exhibition of some of the Hesselius papers is scheduled for the coming weeks.

* Hillingham - abandoned and derelict mansion on the north-east side of Hampstead Heath. A search of HM Land Registry shows that the owner of the property is listed as "HM Government." Hillingham was originally built in the late 1860s, and sold soon after its completion to a "Mrs Dolmen." The house apparently remained in her possession until 1915, when she sold it to the Admiralty. Title passed within the year to the War Office, and then simply to "HM Government." There's no other indication at any point what the Government was using the house for. It's been effectively derelict for the past 30 years.

* Cross Angel Cold Storage - a cold storage facility in the East End, close to the old docks; apparently belonging to HGD Shipping. It's evidently a somewhat rundown, once high-security site, but still in regular use. It has a high-grade firewall, but its CCTV and other security monitoring equipment has seen better days.

* Darkacres - the North London mansion of celebrity psychic Aleister Singleton, venue for regular wild parties with a shady repute. Invitations for these parties are available for those with High Society connections.

* Graz - in Austria? Capital of the southern Austrian province of Styria, while Ingolstadt is a historic university town in Bavaria, chiefly famous for hosting the foundation of the Bavarian Illuminati in 1776 and, supposedly, the experiments of Victor Frankenstein a few decades later. However, the Bavarian capital, Munich, also holds a famous tomb to a "Countess Dolingen of Graz" in its Alter Nordfriedhof cemetery. The Counts of Dolingen were apparently a minor Styrian noble family which became extinct in the later 19th century.
