Clinical, Intellectual, Cynical

I must have typed the right thing into Google, because on my second attempt, information about the Panopticon organization just seemed to spread out before me.  An insane, powerful group trying to ignore the Fears in the hope that they go away.  It's a nice theory, actually.  They inspired me to do some research.  The logic is, if the Fears exist as anything other than a pernicious meme-complex, there will be evidence.  I'm in a city, and I attend one of the largest universities in the country.  If even a few people are targets of the Fears, there should be evidence to find.  What to look for?

Obviously unexplained disappearances are a sign of all of them.

  • Archangel: unusual religious activity, Timberwolves, the symbol, dead people seeming to return to life
  • Black Dog:  unusual fang marks, guilt-based "suicide", reports to animal control
  • The Choir: nonsensical arguments, explosive misunderstanding, mold
  • Cold Boy: freezing to death in this climate would be very obvious
  • Convocation: unusual behavior among birds, scarred minions
  • EAT: strange obsessions, Camper, odd fascination with water...good climate for EAT here
  • Empty City: doors where doors ought not be, might be difficult to spot in college buildings, but clear proof if it happens
  • Plague Doctor: unusual illness
  • The Rake: particularly bloody murder, strange reports to animal control
  • The Slender Man: fires, Operator symbol, reports of stalkers without crime
  • Smiling Man: bodies without hearts, flowers, not very subtle
Anyone know what the word is on the Archangel taking over existing religious groups?  Also, curious about the duration of Empty City doors.  Should I be comparing them to photos the next day, or five minutes later?  

I almost feel stupid looking for this.  It's not really the place of science to go hunting gods and demons.  Still, I don't see why it wouldn't work.  If there's no sign at all, I can get the idea out of my head.
