Concho, Revisited

Concho, a few stops back, was apparently a site of greater interest than I realized at the time. Of all the places, it's particularly known for being haunted. Don stopped there once before, and he talked about how the traditional two 'camps' set up at night -- men and women -- refused to be separated. Everyone shared a camp for that one night, and that one night only; that particular Journey was over 100 days. Several people reported hearing cries at a great distance, and Don said the camp specifically moved during the night to get further away from the bathrooms. All night long, the toilet paper dispensers could be heard spinning noisily.

What's particularly odd is that stories started appearing during the ceremonies for the next few days. It seemed like everyone in the area had some weird story about Concho.

The police, apparently, are sick of the school. They get regular reports about children breaking in to the abandoned building and playing noisily. When they get out there, there are no children and no signs of a break-in.

Do I believe this? Maybe. It's not really a part of my worldview, but I'm able to see the truth in the famous quote: "There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."

I guess the "Horatio" part doesn't really apply.
