Hey. Check this out.
I did a little deep dive at the county records office.
Remember Judy said her ancestor's name was Eudora Bishop?
Well, before settling in Willard's Mill,
Eudora traveled the Himalayas,
where she claims she encountered
a "Hindu demon named Kumbhakarna."
When she came back, she claimed this entity appeared to her here.
In western theology,
the Kumbhakarna, also known as "Haurus,"
was the commander of Hell's Legions.You're right.
According to the legend,
Kumbhakarna, or Haurus, needs a human host.
Like Merv Griffin?
No.
Like, it needs a human body to survive.
Like Merv Griffin.Okay, it could've been Merv.
In this case, I think it's probably Judy.
Since Judy is part of Eudora's bloodline,
were she to cast the proper spell,
she could summon Haurus back to our plane of existence.
Right. But that can only happen...
here it is...
"At Bishop's Chapel beneath the midnight moon."
See that is the missing piece
that the Black Hat Society didn't have
because Judy wasn't there to tell them.
There is not Bishop's Chapel in Willard's Mill.
