## Bull

The visitor is walking the halls of the museum when the Audio Tour Guide happily points out Bull. It explains that Bull is just a lovely bull who made his home at the museum. It further explains that the Research Department believes that most of history's stories of bulls are in fact Bull, although this is difficult to confirm. The Guide then suggests the visitor pet bull, which they ignore.

## Springheeled Jack Costume

### Summary

The visitor approached Springheeled Jack’s Costume which the Audio Tour Guide excitedly announces to be one of its favourites. It explains that the well-known story of Springheeled Jack was a misunderstanding and that the real Jack was a man called Jacques who tried to protect women. Moving to London due to a story his mother told him, he prowled around London to stop anyone who tried to attack women. While initially unsuccessful, one night he notices a woman heading towards a corner with an oddly shaped shadow. He jumped down from the rooves and grabs her, telling her to run to safety. As she runs away, he yells after her which is misunderstood as "Jack is here from hell." When Jacques approaches the corner, he only finds a bush.

The following night, Jacque reads a newspaper about a bizarrely dressed man who attacked a woman in the night. Excited at the idea of a villain to defeat, Jacque jumps from his window half dressed and tries to grab his zipline. Instead, he falls to his death and dies on impact. His death was ruled a suicide and his outfit kept by police due to being too odd to just throw away. Eventually, the outfit made its way to the Mistholme Museum.

## The Sound

The Guide and the visitor are walking the halls when The Guide hears The Sound. It explains that there have been attempts to create an exhibit about The Sound, which has appeared throughout history in various forms, but these have failed because it's hard to get a recording of The Sound and to determine what is or isn't an example of The Sound being heard.

The Guide explains that there's a debate as to whether or not The Sound is naturally occurring, then goes on to say that, even though it shouldn't, it's formed a hypothesis as to what The Sound is. It believes that The Sound is actually a living being made of sound, which takes it upon itself to defend the natural world.

As evidence, The Guide tells the story of a group of people working at an embassy in the Caribbean, who suffered health issues after hearing 'strange grating noises'. All of these people were involved in the production of a new oil drilling platform. It also tells the visitor about how The Sound was heard coming from a nature reserve, drawing attention to illegal logging operations taking place there. The final story that The Guide tells is about a beautiful rock formation, which was destroyed by an earthquake. Ever since, The Sound has been heard in the area.
