- Ian's aunt uncovers a well-preserved corpse from a bog on her property and asks the professor to ride to her village and determine its antiquity. Before he arrives, his aunt is brutality murdered and soon other villager are found slain, each in the manner of their profession. Randi is convinced that a blind old man with a drinking problem may have valuable information on the case that the authorities are ignoring.—David Bassler
- A "Bogman" (long dead man preserved by the peat of the bog) is dug up by Ian's distant Aunt Gertie in a small town and some of the locals decide that it is going to bring tourist revenues. But local man, Angus, decries it as a terrible thing. Ian and Randi are called in to investigate. Angus is right. Still, the town-folk setup the Bogman on display in the pub to allow for viewing.
Soon Gertie is dead and Angus is ranting as a local barmaid is claiming that she saw that the Bogman "moved" as she was doing the cleaning up of the pub. No one believes her, but a few nights later the Bogman moves on her.
While staying at a local inn, Ian and Randi must share a single room with two twin beds, a la "It Happened One Night", which Ian references as they make accommodations amenable. The hunt is now afoot.
