Mathilda Smith

At Ravenrest, people tell stories of a young woman who has spent decades searching the graves for her husband. She wears a pale dress from the 1950s, her blonde hair is carefully styled, and sometimes the gravestones can be seen through her body. Anyone who mentions her death usually receives a thoroughly unpleasant reply. Anyone who claims she is imagining her memories would be wise to leave quickly. Her name is Mathilda Smith. She died in a psychiatric institution in 1956 after her husband Richard had her committed. She has searched for him ever since, determined to make him answer for what he did to her. She has no idea that Richard himself died long ago. During the Halloween event, Ravenrest is open to visitors. Jack-o'-lanterns glow among the graves, music drifts from hidden speakers, and costumed guests wander along the old paths. Among all those costumes, a woman wearing a 1950s dress hardly stands out. At least until she gets angry and someone notices that her feet aren't touching the ground.
