"Weird stuff does happen here," you tell Kirill. "Almost everybody who's lived here can tell you about something they've witnessed that they can't explain."
"Not me," Addy says.
"That's why Petzeiros said almost everybody," Diego complains.
"People have died in unusual ways, that's just a fact," you explain since Kirill is still listening carefully to you. "There's a reason why paranormal investigation shows come through here and why there are multiple websites that list Arbor Isle as one of the most haunted towns in Maine. When the fog's out, it's like the town's abandoned. It's not just because of poor visibility. People are scared."
Addy sighs. "That's because people are suggestible. This is one of the reasons why I want to move away."
"You have to admit, some of the stories we grew up with were terrifying," Diego says, unable to let the topic go. "Like the woman who refused to leave her house on foggy days and was found burned to death inside her home when she accidentally left the windows open when the fog came. Her house wasn't on fire, she was the only thing that burned up."
Anuja shudders, but still contributes. "Or the one about the girl who died at Ashbrook High in the fifties. They just found her sitting against the wall of the restroom, but her neck was broken like she had fallen from a height."
"What about you, Petzeiros?" Kirill asks. "You must have heard a lot of these too. What story scared you the most when you were little?"
