Harold Alton

Harold Alton was a deranged serial killer. He was "slender and pale"; his head was shaven, and he had cold eyes and yellowed teeth. However, despite his "unearthly" look, he was an entirely mundane, human killer.

Suffering from some strange mental disorder, Alton had an obsession of "collecting" organs. He murdered six people and set up a collection of their innards in his house. After it was raided by the police, he was arrested, and began to undergo psychiatric treatment in prison. However, he escaped, and, making a lair in a cave in the middle of the moors in the Yorkshire Dales, resumed his gruesome murders.

However, a recently-retired Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, investigating rumours of disappearing tourists under the suspicion that there might be some alien influence at work, found him out and easily overpowered him in a physical fight, turning him over to the police. Though glad he had helped save lives, Lethbridge-Stewart was sheepish when he realised that after all his years of fighting alien or supernatural threats, he had altogether failed to consider a purely ordinary explanation for the disappearances.
