Notes from 6/20

Hey all, here are the notes from last week so that we can all have them...
We decided on the thriller, so i'll just put the notes from that.

CLINTON RD, NJ
From Wiki: The ghost boy at the bridge: At one of the bridges over Clinton Brook near the reservoir, if you put a quarter in the middle of the road where the yellow line is, at midnight it will supposedly be promptly returned by the ghost of a boy who drowned while swimming below or had fallen in while sitting on the edge of the bridge. In some tellings an apparition is seen; in others the ghost pushes the teller into the water if he or she looks over the side of the bridge in order to save him from being run over as he was in life.

- Dead's Man Curve
- Babysitter is writing a suicide letter. Why?
- Boy is playing and giggling in the background. (eery feeling)
- Babysitter wants to commit suicide. She jumps while the boy isn't looking, but then he jumps in after her to save her.
- Little boy sees her trying to jump and asks, "What are you doing?"
- Maybe the whole thing is an accident? (According to some stories)
- Possibly use boys body as a cut to the next scene. Swipes.


CUT to car ride with the teenagers.
3 teenagers. Macho man, typical romantic girl, geeky little bro.

- Bubble in the ripple of the water at the very end. Is ghost of boy still there?
- Maybe the babysitter was lovestruck and that's why she wanted to kill herself. Or is there another reason? Family? School? Bullies, perhaps?

- 3 different stories from the teenagers in the car: they all have their own story depending on their personality.
- The geeky little brother somehow gets fused with the ghost boy... animal? Deer or moose antlers?

Questions:
- Why are the teenagers there?
- Why did the kid jump in after the babysitter?
- Did the kid fall in looking for his frog? And the babysitter went after him?
- Do we have them throwing coins so that a coin gets thrown back?

          - old foundation of Cross Castle?! cool.

          - Legend has it, if you sit in the middle of the foundation by yourself at midnight, the building will form around you and Satan will appear. He will then ask for your soul.

    1. Bah, sorry I meant to repost my comment with some additional sentences.
      So as I was saying one of the stories of the ghost boy do vary but one mentions he threw the coin to make a wish but when it didn't come true he went back to the bridge to get his coin and had an accident and died. He throws the coins back to prevent the wishes of others.
      I sounds a bit dumb to me so I looked a few other horror stories involving coins and usually the coin in question is lost or not really tossed into the well/ocean/pond/river or down some dark hole. They vary from the coin rolling away into it or it is thrown by some one. The coin coming back could be something like it isn't the coin the boy is looking for and bad luck follows those that do throw the imposter coin in.
