Christopher Mulholland
Another name that Billy Weaver finds in the guestbook in “The Landlady,” Gregory Temple arrived at the B&B two years ago.

In the end, it is implied that Gregory, like Christopher Mulholland, was killed and taxidermized by the landlady, who intends to do the same thing to Billy.
