The Case of Jonathon Baker

Introduction
Jonathon Baker discovered one of the only cases of undeath in the modern world. This case is unique in that the undeath was brought willfully into the world. There is a file of this case at The Klein Institute of the Unknown in Los Angeles, where Jules Klein works to study the unknown and its effects.

Early Life
Born in Los Angeles to parents Miller and Katherine Baker in 1998, Jonathon Baker was a sickly child. He grew up in a household governed by parents opposed to vaccinations - a fatal flaw in his upbringing. He was diagnosed with Rotavirus at the ago of 10 and fully recovered no less than ten years later when he was twenty. It was at this time that he graduated technical college and celebrated this fact with his friends in the western area of Los Angeles. Wandering public houses and becoming quite inebriated, Jonathon found himself alone and lost in an alley somewhere between Ohio Street and Santa Monica Boulevard, where the incident happened.

The Incident
An inebriated Jonathon Baker found a woman crouching over a man's body - Jonathon did not know whether the man was dead or alive. Though he was partially disabled due to mild alcohol poisoning, he offered his assistance to the woman. She told him that the man would need to be, according to Jonathon, resurrected. Jonathon claims that he was sure the woman was either joking or that he had misheard her. He continued to help her as they laid him out on his back, but Jonathon realized that something was wrong when the woman, while introducing herself as Miranda, laid out candles surrounding the corpse of the man. Jonathon realized that the man was dead when he felt how cold his skin was*.

Miranda lit the candles. Jonathon claims to have seen no means by which she would have lit them, only that the candles were cold one moment and in the next, aflame. Jonathon claims he stepped back, that he moved away from her as she chanted over the corpse. As she breathed life into the dead man, he fled. He claims the man stood up in exhausted, jerky motions, but he left too quickly to see any more.

* Note: Jonathon Baker was disturbed by the cold of the man's hand and the fact that the man's body seemed to be colder than the air surrounding him, it was mid-May of 2018.

The Aftermath
Jonathon Baker held his information as a secret for several months before hearing about the Klein Institute, at which point he waited only two days before reporting the incident to the. This was considered an extremely dangerous sighting by Jules Klein.

Jules asked many questions, gathering information she found to be important, and even called her rivals across the nation, the Realmwell Foundation. She informed them of the events and they sent one of their employees, George Denton, to investigate the incident. Report is pending.
