Is Van Helsing the only classic lit (i.e. public domain) monster hunter? In my current project I ended up making Dracula a work of fiction in-universe which kind of gets rid of anyone from the past who could have written extensively about monsters for my protagonist to learn from their notes (yes an OC is a good solution but I like the idea of making it a sort of passing of the torch), I do know about Baron Vordenburg and Dr Hesselius from Carmilla, and Professor Challenger could also maybe work, but are there any others who fit slightly better as an occult expert who would set out to write his (or her) own encyclopedia of creatures?
Carnaki the Ghost Finder and John Silence, Physician Extraordinary! Consider:
Thomas Carnacki was a consulting detective who frequently investigated occult and supernatural occurences. He lived in a flat on Cheyne Walk in Chelsea, and he kept a library on the occult, which included the Sigsand Manuscript, which helped to protect him against supernatural dangers. He was assisted by a friend named Dodgson. Carnacki faced a variety of supernatural menaces and he categorized spirits as Aeiirii and the more dangerous Saiitii. Along with the Sigsand Manuscript and other occult objects, Carnacki also employed pseudo-scientific items, such as the Electric Pentacle.
And
Dr. John Silence was a medical doctor turned occult detective. Independently wealthy due to his inheritance, he chose to practice medicine on those who could not pay. Once his clinic was up and running, his presence was not always required, so he spent his time investigating psychic and occult mysteries. Dr. Silence was a free-lancer, having no consulting-room, bookkeeper, nor professional manners. He spent five years putting himself through âlong and severe training, at once physical, mental and spiritual.â From this, he acquired some abilities of his own, including the ability to protect himself from paranormal attacks. He is more than 40 years old, thin, with brown eyes and a well-trimmed beard. Though regarded as an eccentric, he was confident, with great determination and strength of purpose. He battled astral werewolves, fire elementals, and other fiends.
thinking about how wilmarth's "real"/chosen name is "john silence"... knowing what the pgu is like and all the things it takes inspiration from, i'm in no doubt that this is a reference to the algernon blackwood character of the same name, and honestly there are some pretty direct parallels between the two characters. the john silence of the blackwood stories is a doctor who freely gives his time to help people afflicted by problems (often of a supernatural nature) that no one else will take seriously, and who has an interest in the weird or occult. the john silence of the pgu, while posing as "albert wilmarth", is a vicar with an interest in folklore and the occult, who seems to have spent much of his time trying to help henry akeley, a man who is afflicted by some very definitely supernatural problems but who no one else will truly listen to. given "john silence" is stated not to be his actual name, but possibly one he chose himself, i can't help but wonder if it was picked deliberately (in-universe or otherwise) to reflect that parallel... there's something there i think

"There rose in him quite a new realisation of the mystery connected with the whole feline tribe, but especially with that common member of it, the domestic catâtheir hidden lives, their strange aloofness, their incalculable subtlety. How utterly remote from anything that human beings understood lay the sources of their elusive activities."
- John Silence by Algernon Blackwood
