Curse of the Scarecrow

"Title Card: The legend of the scarecrow goes back generations. It is said the Scarecrow was once a man who was thought to be stealing from the locals in the 1800s. He was left out in the cold winter, strung up to a cross in the cornfield. The locals watched on while crows pecked him to death, watching his soul die in the fields. Some say the soul of the Scarecrow still haunts those fields. Some say every 20 years he rises once more, seeking revenge on those who walk the land. Mistaking them for those who did him wrong."

"Karen: So, being 2 decades on, you finally know the truth about your parents. Karen: Yeah, I mean like, I know it wasn't a scarecrow. [laughs] Karen: I don't even know how I thought that even just for a minute. June: It's not uncommon for people that experience traumatic things to go into their psyche and create a fantasy to be able to cope with it. You were 6 years old, you watched your parents being brutally slain in your own home, you know that's quite awful to have to deal with, so putting a mask on the killer is a very normal thing that people do in those circumstances, I just think that it's time for you to move forward now, which I think you have. Karen: Yeah, I mean I just want to know who it was. You know, like I can't get it out of my head. June: Do you still have access to the family home? Karen: Yep. June: And who lives there now? Karen: My brother, Carl. I don't think he ever moved on. June: I think maybe you should go back there. How do you feel about that? Karen: [shakes head] Mmmm, no, I couldn't. June: If you're over this trauma, and I thought that we had dealt with it... Karen: We have dealt with it. June: See, you just said 'we'. It's not 'we', June, this is your journey, only you are responsible and can take action into your recovery, I can only take you so far, but it's down to you. Karen: You're right, so what do you suggest? June: I think you should call your brother."
