Quentin's journal

Quentin's journal is a fictional item featured in the 1960s Gothic soap opera Dark Shadows. It is a small leather-bound journal that once belonged to Quentin Collins. It contained passages relating to the ancient Chinese art of divination known as the I Ching. Quentin Collins "died" in 1897 and his journal was left behind in a desk drawer gathering dust for the next seventy years.

In 1968, Barnabas Collins, Maggie Evans and Professor Timothy Eliot Stokes were exploring the West Wing of Collinwood looking for the missing child, David Collins, who had become a victim of Quentin's angry spirit. Professor Stokes found the journal as well as Quentin's I Ching wands in the desk. He took them back to the Old House where he studied them at length.
