Excerpts from interviews conducted in 1963

“I’ve never stopped waiting for her to come home. Like nothing ever happened. It would be so like her. She was such an imp. That’s why we thought for such a long time that it must be a prank she was playing, because she was upset that her sister was getting all the attention.”

—Irene Callow, mother of Lucy Callow

“She was a little shit. She’d always been a little shit. She ran off into the woods because she couldn’t stand not being the center of attention for once.”

—William Callow, brother of Lucy Callow (unpublished)

“The girl’s dead. No ghost story changes that she went into the woods and died. If you ask me, her brother did it. That cockamamie story about a disappearing road. He was hiding something. And pissed at her for running off. Always thought so. But without a body, what could we do?”

—Jack Brechin, Mass. State Police (unpublished)

Note from Mark Watts, reporter at the Briar Glen Beacon, to his editor:*

I’ve been working on this too long. I’m starting to dream about her. I’m turning in what I’ve got along with the rest of my notes. If you need more, you can get someone else to finish it.
