So far, in True Believer, Jeremy Marsh is now in Boone Creek. He met the woman who wrote the letter, Doris, and wrote him the letter about about the mysterious lights. She recalls the story to him again, and tells him he can research more about the town and the legend of the cemetery in the town library. I don't think I've told the story of the legend. Here it is: Hettie Doubilet, a woman from the Carribean, was enraged by the folks in her town who wanted to put a big cosmopolitan in the middle of a black folk cemetery. When she found out that they were supposed to dig up all the bodies and transfer them to another place, she got upset and tried to get the county to do something to have the route changed. But the folks that ran the county wouldn't consider it. They wouldn't even grant her the opportunity to make her case. Legend has it that when they refused her entrance, she put a curse on the white folk. She said that if graves of her ancestors would be defiled, their's would be defiled too. The ancestors of her people would tread the earth in search of their original resting place and would trample through Cedar Creek on their journey, and that in the end, the whole cemetery would be swallowed whole.
Its funny, now that it's October, I've heard many things about the paranormal things. I don't believe in ghosts that torment people, but with Paranormal Activity 3 coming out in theatres last night, and this book about ghosts, and we were talking about ghost stories in first period, I surely can't forget the fact that they've been catching my attention. Even in English class a girl is doing her research topic about Bloody Mary. I'm a big scaredy baby too, so that doesn't help (:.
