I spend the next two days with Ethan hiking around Pine’s Lookout. Ethan is my personal guardian – looking out for the telltale signs of dizziness and nausea that I am expected to exhibit at any time, as though I’m in my first trimester of pregnancy. The hill is much larger than I thought. It’s amazing how much of it he owns. Although land is probably cheap here, its size is still considerable.

“You get a lot of trespassers?” I ask.

“Sometimes. Especially during Halloween,” he says. “A lot of people think the house is haunted.”

“Is it?”

I have never felt any vibes, but then, I never did have a supernatural radar.

“It does have a reputation. I bought it for cheap because the previous owner killed himself in it.”

This stuns me.

“Oh,” I exclaim, putting a hand on my mouth. “Oh, I didn’t know.”

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you.” His mud green eyes register concern.

We are both perched upon a cliff that looks down upon the valley from another angle. It’s a beautiful afternoon, with birds flitting through the canopy of trees and the sun beating down on our heads. The leaves are beginning to turn gold and red, and the scenery is so blissful that I simply cannot imagine anything haunting us.

I say, “No . . . I’m not scared. I’m just surprised.”

I am more than surprised. I’m stricken.

I think back to the entry in Ethan’s diary, the one that I haven’t had the investigative tenacity to revisit since – mostly because he’s been around so much, and I don’t want to be kicked out of the house for doing something as mundane as snooping around my host’s study.

I can’t contain him anymore. All I know is that he is becoming more powerful. Suddenly, in light of Ethan’s revelation, that phrase takes on a whole different connotation.

Cold fingers run down my spine.

Stop it, Virginia. Stop it. You don’t believe in ghosts.

I take a deep breath and calm my nerves to the point where I can be objective again. Yes. Now where were we?

I’m getting to the stage where I am dreading the part where I have to reveal myself to be a reporter. Do I have to reveal myself at all? I mean, it’s not as if I’m exposing Enron. But Ethan Greene clearly has a dubious reputation in these parts, and there’s a story in there somewhere that would make for riveting reading.

Of course, he can sue me and my newspaper if the allegations are not true. That’s the fine line that investigative journalism treads upon. Right now, I’m just taking baby steps. Making sure that everything in my article will be verified by sources.

I’m supposed to remain impartial, of course. If Ethan Greene has done something wrong, and if he has not been brought to justice for it, then he should pay. But I can’t believe that this man can be capable of doing something heinously wrong. I pride myself on knowing people, of being able to size them up within moments.
