The blessing of the ground and the bones that the grave contained was completed earlier. Arranging with the authorities and the priest proved more time consuming that I ever expected, but the work was finally over. Standing under the grey mist that fell from the sky that day made me realize how fortunate I had been to get through this experience unscathed. The two young women, who died so tragically, had finally been put to rest. The young apprentice, who must have been tortured to death by the father of the young women, was laid to rest with them. His bones were removed from the crate that had served as the writing desk for Samantha. Walking away from the gravesite and cemetery, I headed home, once again revisiting the scenario I had managed to piece together from the information received from the two female ghosts, the diary, and the male ghost who appeared to me that last day. Further research found that the father had sold his business and financial assets and moved away from the area.
