Eric Smith

Eric Smith
Eric “Demon” Smith, unlike his parents, we have a lot of info on Eric Smith. He is schizophrenic. He appears in ALL games, DLC or no. He appears as an In-game NPC, and can spawn in multiple spots. Although it isn’t known exactly how Eric died, we can assume it was a stabbing due to the blood and knife on the ground.

In-game
When playing, he appears as a black figure with red eyes before attacking. he follows you for about five seconds, if you aren’t running, he will kill you. When he attacks you, it plays a loud noise throughout the whole team and makes the screen shaded a reddish color. The reason this can be freighting to some is if they don't see it coming. This could occur if part of the team is one place in the house and the other team is in the other part another. If one team sees him, they may not warn them in time and the attack could start.

Back Story
We know Eric was a fast as a child, and very hyper, as said by one of his parents notes: “I wouldn’t be surprised to see him in the Olympics when he grows up”, his parents, at some point, felt that they failed as parents, as stated by a note found in the attic: “Have I failed as a parent?”. There are more notes around the house, but these are the most notable. (No pun intended.)

Death
On August 14, 1996, After finishing a family dinner, Eric killed both his parents with a automobile when on the West Helena Bridge. After the crash, Eric killed himself on August 15, 1996, at 3:00 AM. He placed a note on the desk that reads:

"I HAVE DONE WHAT I NEEDED TO BECOME UNSTOPPABLE. TWO OF WHAT I CHERISH - SACRIFICED TO THE RITUAL, AS WELL AS MYSELF. I SHALL BECOME IMMORTAL AND CONTINUE LUCIFER'S LEGACY."

It sit's next to the blood and knife on the floor (This room can be unlocked with the rusty key that is locked in the safe). Therefore, with the clues found, he stabbed himself to death.

Investigation
The death of Eric is the part that you investigate in the main sector of the game. You can investigate Bella Smith and Andrew Smith with the 2 DLCs; The Attic and Hidden Depths.
