15 - George Birch becomes trapped in the internment tomb when a wind blows the door shut and the latch breaks. Takes most of the evening to dig a way out. (In the Vault, H.P. Lovecraft)
16 - Upon trying to scramble out of the vault in which he was trapped, George Birch's feet fall through the lid of a casket and the spirit of Asaph Sawyer shreds his legs and ankles, this done in revenge for Birch cutting Sawyer's feet off at the ankles to fit him in a casket.
