How can I protect myself from the Bloofer Lady?

Hint 1 of 13:

Again, this is one of those long puzzles that pretty much involves every
correct action over the day, and even some of the previous day.

Hint 2 of 13:

The main goal here is for you to recruit some help from an expert.

Hint 3 of 13:

He's the same expert who's mentioned in the game manual.

Hint 4 of 13:

You need to get Van Helsing to help you.

Hint 5 of 13:

And contacting him yourself is not sufficient -- you need part of the Hades
Club to help you out.

Hint 6 of 13:

But you do need to telegram Van Helsing.

Hint 7 of 13:

Dr. Seward at the Asylum will give you his card, but you need to show up both
the night of day 1 and again in the morning of day 2 to get it.

Hint 8 of 13:

Take Van Helsing's card in hand and go to the telegraph office.

Hint 9 of 13:

The other trick is to show someone that you know about your brother's death.

Hint 10 of 13:

Did you contact Father Janos as described in the manual?

Hint 11 of 13:

Take Janos's card to the telegraph office on day 1.  At 9:00 pm of that day,
you should receive a reply by telegram that includes a knife.

Hint 12 of 13:

Surely, you must want to find out what that knife is about.
