Dark Water Experiments

The experiments using Dark Water were led by Dr. Denison Ogilvy-Watts and were conducted in phases.


 * The first phase of experiments were on dead bodies. The bodies were initially sourced from the hospital in which Dr. Watts worked but they then turned to using corpses dug up from local cemeteries by the notorious grave-robbers, Crabbe and Harris. Eventually they moved to using fresh corpses and experimented on the bodies of the victims of Hezekiah Hennessy, the so-called Vampire of Vine Street.


 * The experiments were then carried out on the wounded soldiers returning from the conflict in the South American Colonies. These soldiers were housed in the sealed off West Wing of the Grove Hall Asylum where they were placed under the care of Amelia Hennessy.


 * The final phase of experiments were carried out on the infants that were left in Amelia Hennessy's care at the Asylum.
