Smith speaks of supernatural experiences she had at Alectown since 1983, noticed that the cemetery needed a cleanup and felt a compulsion to do the work herself, when she sat on Mr. Putney's grave she received a message from him to cleanup the grave yard (Putney was the old caretaker of the graveyard), the work proved too much for her and a local cleanup crew on loan from Parkes was called in, the widow Putney appears, notes a strange feeling was coming from the Kelly grave, also a feeling of repulsion from one grave, recalls a materialisation of a man and a woman at home and hearing fiddle music with the sound of phantom kids gigling, later the same fiddle tune was heard on TV, how she feels that the vibrations about the highway mean that it is located in the wrong place, how her friend's daughter had a vision, her explanation for the ghosts, how she has had E.S.P. since age 4.
