With the adventure of Miss Heinrichs and her near death experience behind us all I figured it was time to return to the graveyard. I really have so many unanswered issues with these spirits. I think I have the answer for Mr. Footman but do I want to release that knowledge without understanding what his purpose is? Several rumors seem to to make him out as a person with some very odd ideas while other people just seem to dislike him…a lot. I believe I need to keep Daniel under wraps for a bit longer for the time being.
I walk into the graveyard and stand quietly. I won’t be here very long this evening so I did not bring a cushion with me this time. Closing my eyes, I enter the space of here / not here and call out.
“Who lies here disturbed and without peace? Who wishes to rest and who wishes to live? Who wishes to speak without fear?”
””I stand here disturbed not knowing peace, wishing to rest again, speaking with fear but clasping hope to my heart.””
Who is this? I have never heard this voice? and such sadness and longing in the voice!
“I do not know you; will you still speak with me?
””Yes. The others here have told me about you and what you are. My name is Mrs. Barry. I want to rest again. That horrid man ripped me from my eternal repose for who knows what reason. I want to die once more so be with my loved ones. Will you help me?””
I am stunned as I have never had a request like this. A shape forms in front of me fading in and out, never taking any real body like Evie has. Speaking of Evie none of the others have said a thing. It is like they have given her the time to make a case to me.

“Mrs. Barry, I might be able to help. In truth, I have sent the living to their death but I have never sent the dead there.
””I want to go back! I hate it here. I know no one and no one remembers me. I passed on decades ago and my family tree has withered and died since then. I find no comfort in this place and my only desire is to return to the peaceful afterlife I had.””
Such passion to die again! But I do not know how to accomplish this. I am not even sure that the monks at the temple know how to kill someone a second time. I even doubt Father knows. What shall I do?
“I must research this as I do not know how this might be done Mrs. Barry. But I will try. I just can not promise and I do not want to give you false hope.
””You are my only hope. The other man cares nothing for me. He brought me here and has cast me aside as useless when he found out that I was not who he wished me to be. I just want to return.””
She fades from view, moaning as if her heart is breaking. This has to be Mr. Footman’s work just from her description. Can the process the Geistmagorium uses to pull the spirits in be reversed? It appears that I need to talk to Mr. Footman again or perhaps his assistant. How odd, to wish to die again….

eeerrrmmm….. course, it may not be Mr Footman… sometimes at the Graveyard they feel so sad, i guess quite a few were happy where they were, but… there is something else as well, that don’t feel nice, over in the far corner. Stays away from me, don’t think it like the music, but you be careful Miss…

”overhearing the young lad” Hm. We thought we sensed something a bit off about that corner too when we visited on Friday, although we’re not quite as attuned to this sort of thing as some.
