Dear Diary,

I tried to call my father today, but his secretary said he was out of town. Thanks for the heads up DAD!!!

So, day number one of research … I feel like I am on the right track to finding out information about the garden. Or maybe just the right track to uncover the dirt on mom’s family.

This house has been in her family since just before the civil war in 1860. Of course it’s been upgraded and remodeled a few times, but it’s always been here. The weirdest part was the garden had been here well before the property was built. The property had been built around it, almost as if it was built to protect the garden. The home had been built by a Maurice Gavin. Maybe he was the one trying to protect it?  

I found several articles on the superstitions surrounding the garden, from it being haunted, to the owners themselves being involved with witchcraft. Then I found an interesting article a little more recent, it’s about my mom and grandpops. The article was dated October 28, 1991, a few days before my mother’s birthday, November 1^st.
