Family Possessions Page #4

What's going on?

You know how in scary movies

there's always

like the town crazy?

You know, like, the one person

that people always try to avoid

or parents tell their kids not

to talk to?

-Uh, yeah, I guess.

-Well... here in Horse Creek,

the town crazy was your

grandmother, Albertha Dunn.

Excuse me?

Well, ever since I was a kid,

my mom would tell me not

to go near her house, you know,

like "Stay away or she might

put you in the oven," she'd say.

Okay, so you're--

you're telling me that everyone

in this town picked

on my grandmother for no reason.

She was bullied and it

just stuck all these years.

No, there was a reason people

said all those things about her.

Okay, what was the reason?

They say she was a witch.

Okay, yeah because that makes

perfect sense.

Rachel, your grandmother wasn't

in a nursing home...

she was in an asylum.

What?

Well, when I heard you talking

about writing her those letters

in the nursing home,

I figured you didn't know

all the details,

so I had to get you out of there

so I could explain.

No, no, but...

but I sent her letters.

I have the address right here.

I have it.

I have the address in here

somewhere.

Here it is.

Go to the address. You'll see.

Why would she be in an asylum?

About ten years ago,

she got caught with some corpses

in her house.

-Corpses?

-Yes.

Down the street

at the old cemetery,

there were several graves

that had been dug up

and no one knew who was doing it

until they set up surveillance

and they caught her coming back

to dig up another body.

Wait.

Why would she be digging

up graves?

They went to her house

and they found

the missing bodies

and she had been doing some type

of ritual on them.

That's why she was sent

to the asylum.

Great.

Everyone in this freaking town

is going to think

we're the Mansons.

-No, I'm sure they don't.

-I gotta go.

No, no, wait.

Rachel, wait.

-Oh, my-- Jesus!

I'm sorry, I gotta go.

-Who the hell was that?

-That was Rachel.

She sure was in a hurry.

What'd you do,

show her your book collection?

No, Mother, she just moved

to town

-and she hasn't met anyone yet.

-Well, she sure was in a hurry.

She lives just down the street.

She inherited

her grandmother's old house.

-They just moved in this week.

-What old house?

-The Dunn house.

-You're joking, right?

No, Miss Dunn

was her grandmother.

Let me tell you something.

You keep that witchcraft out

of here, you got me?

I don't want no evil in here.

-Keep it far, far away from me.

-Mom.

You know,

I don't understand you.

I mean, everybody

in this town's talking about me,

how I'm a single mother

raising a child.

I don't need them talking
