SUBJECT DESIGNATION: Madame Clairvoya – “The Fortune Teller”

CLASS: Type IV Spectral Entity (Cognitive / Psychic Projection)

CONTAINMENT STATUS: Secured within Portrait Frame #015, “Sight Beyond Sight”

THREAT LEVEL: Low (Passive / Cooperative Manifestation)

IDENTIFICATION

Full Name (During Life): Madame Clairvoya

Apparent Age: 58

Gender: Female

Post-Mortem Appearance: A translucent female apparition clothed in flowing robes of deep violet and gold. A large crystal orb floats near her lap, glowing faintly with spectral energy. Eyes appear clouded yet aware, with intermittent flashes of light during psychic activity.

BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD

Madame Clairvoya was a renowned spiritual medium and fortune teller in her lifetime, known for her ability to perceive and communicate with spirits. Her fame spread across the region, attracting both the curious and the desperate.

She eventually took residence within the mansion, allegedly hired to assist its original owners with hauntings, omens, and psychic protection. However, prolonged exposure to the building’s ambient paranormal field is believed to have amplified her abilities beyond safe limits—eventually fusing her consciousness with the spectral realm she once observed.

Unlike most entities in the mansion, Clairvoya demonstrates awareness of her death and purpose. She willingly interacts with living beings, often offering cryptic insights into the mansion’s other spirits, particularly those bound by stronger emotional energies.

CAUSE OF DEATH (THEORETICAL ANALYSIS)

Her precise cause of death remains unclear, though several credible theories exist:

Psychic Overload: Chronic use of clairvoyant powers within the mansion’s dense ectoplasmic field may have overloaded neural pathways, leading to fatal cerebral hemorrhage or stroke.

Spiritual Merging: It is possible her consciousness voluntarily transitioned into the spectral plane, effectively “dying” to maintain spiritual awareness.

Poisoning or Illness: Some sources indicate slow poisoning via incense, oils, or vaporized hallucinogens used in divination rituals, leading to respiratory failure.

Regardless of the method, her spirit remains remarkably coherent—indicating a death of intent, not trauma.

PARANORMAL CHARACTERISTICS

Behavioral Pattern: Calm and deliberate. Seated, with eyes closed or half-open, focusing on her crystal ball. Communicates via audible speech or telepathic transmission.

Manifestation Site: Fortune Room, Ground Floor South Wing.

Activity Cycle: Reactivates during the presence of living consciousness, particularly when in possession of items tied to other ghosts.

Notable Abilities:

Clairvoyance: Can perceive and interpret residual energy signatures linked to specific items or entities.

Precognition: Limited awareness of imminent danger or strong emotional events within the mansion.

Energy Channeling: Can temporarily stabilize ectoplasmic disturbances during reading sessions.

Cooperative Interaction: Unusually willing to assist researchers or intruders in exchange for the retrieval of spiritually charged objects.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE

Madame Clairvoya retains her personality, wit, and professional composure post-mortem. Displays empathy toward certain entities and curiosity toward the living. She appears motivated by purpose rather than resentment—her afterlife is defined by observation rather than torment.

Despite her cooperative demeanor, she can exhibit cryptic detachment, delivering truths in riddle-like phrasing. Her readings are typically accurate but often incomplete or bound by unseen “rules” she cannot articulate.

CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES

Captured during Operation LM-GH/15 with minimal resistance. Her cooperation allowed safe transfer into Portrait Frame #015, now housed in Vault A, East Research Wing.

Containment requires moderate light levels to prevent psychic agitation. Her frame must be consulted under supervision only, and all communication attempts must be recorded. Personnel exposed to her readings are to undergo psychological evaluation to monitor post-contact dissociation or precognitive fixation.

NOTES FROM PROF. E. GADD

“Unlike most of the others, Madame Clairvoya wants to talk. She’s insightful, sure—but don’t let her prophecies get in your head. Spirits like her thrive on mystery. Keep her contained and cooperative; her information about the mansion’s hierarchy has proven invaluable.”
