Trivia
A book on galvanism is checked out from the library. The previous patron to check it out is revealed to be Johann Dippel. This is the name of a real-life alchemist born in Castle Frankenstein in Darmstadt, Germany. Literary scholars and historians have speculated that he was an inspiration for Mary Shelley when she wrote Frankenstein. In 1814, Mary and her future husband Percy traveled near the castle and may have heard stories about its infamous resident.

Goofs
