For the first time, something unequivocally supernatural occurs. After hearing a late-night thud in the living room, Carolyn (Nancy Barrett) and Victoria (Alexandra Moltke Isles) investigate to find a volume of Collins family history on the floor. After debating how it could have fallen off the table, they put it back on the table and leave the room. Thereupon, the book opens by itself to a bookmarked page. Then the wide cloth bookmark slides off of the page it half covered to reveal the picture of a woman, which is captioned "Josette Collins, 1810 - 1834". She has been previously mentioned as a ghost who might be responsible for weeping sounds in the basement that have been explained away as old house sounds. She was also the first person to fall - or be thrown from - the cliff on Widows' Hill. Other things have happened that may or may not be explainable, but this is the first event witnessed by the viewer that defies any rational explanation.
