Dr Carp's Experiment
In 1991, a BPRD field team is sent to Long Island to investigate the former mansion house of Dr Carp, grand master of the Heliopic Brotherhood of Ra. Pauline informs Hellboy of the history of the site, including the rumours of hauntings and supernatural occurances which have ocured there. Her relaxed manner and Hellboy's reference to a previous case suggest they have worked together before.

Near the start of the story Pauline is seen interviewing Mrs Stokes, the wife of the Ghoul. After Pauline shows her some pictures taken in Fox Hill cemetery it becomes clear Mrs Stokes is unaware of her husband's true nature
