Yes, that's the idea. Everyone has a journal that is unique to them. It is the diary/journal that is sort of leading everyone into the manor where the ghosts are. It's related to the main boss ghost (though I can't say how due to spoilers!).<br/>In short, think of it as a cursed diary with enough power to pull people into it. The diary appears blank at first, with a general appearance unique to its owner. Your character can find it any way, anywhere. It will start off with their name written in it, then later it might have photographs, or memories of theirs, or just about anything in it that could set your character ill at ease.<br/>The idea is that the diary (and subsequently the curse) is spreading enough to make your character doubt their memories and wonder what's happening to them. More and more, they're compelled to read this diary and wonder about their lives. Until the diary has a strong enough hold that they're pulled into it and end up in the manor where the curse is in full effect.
