Randolph's Journal - Part 4 is the twenty-third secret of House of Ashes. It can be found by Jason in the catacombs. This secret appears in Bloodbath.
Overview[]
The fourth part of Randolph Hodgson's journal.
The front page tells the journey of the expedition through a pit located under the chasm, which is full of corpses. They then saw an unearthly light piercing through the rocks. Bradshaw then asks Crow to place a dynamite on the rocks.
The back page is a direct continuation from the front page. It tells how after blowing up the rocks, the expedition found an unknown world under the temple. Mary began to worry about Bradshaw becoming reckless and uncontrollable, but Randolph ignored this. He worked with Crow and Pulman on the installation of the elevator, taking a keen interest in what was in the underworld.
In-Game Description[]
The journal entry details the discovery of a strange, unexplainable world below the temple.

(on front)
The bottom of the chasm stank of death and was littered with corpses, fresh enough to be covered in flies. Crow thinks that local bandits must have tossed their victims down here after robbing them. I pity those hapless wanderers; the fear they must have felt as they tumbled to their doom. But this was not what he wanted to show us.
An unearthly light pierced the rocks. When Mary asked what it was, Bradshaw nodded to Crow, who broke open the dynamite. She said she intended to find out.
(on back)
Blowing a hole through the rock face, we found a getaway to a strange world below. A phosphorescence emanated from beneath, casting its eldritch light over us all. Lady Bradshaw was insistent that we descend further.
Perhaps Mary is right, and Bradshaw is becoming reckless and uncontrollable, but I can't stop thinking about what's down there. I am now working with Crow and Pulman to set up a winch and elevator to descend into the shaft. What mysteries lie below, I wonder, undisturbed by the world above?
Location[]
It can be found to the left of the well.
