CHLOE: RASES VOICE Back many moons ago, some say many full moons ago, a man named George Bellow stumbled upon what he described as being enchanting. Travelling by foot having lost his horses when they'd become spooked, Mr. Bellow stepped through an archway of trees to discover a clearing overshadowed by a hillside which looked down on a dark stretch of water. Stopping by what he named Bleak Lake the lone traveller built his first home. Bleak Towers Named Bleak because it was a place forever encased by a floating mist. Certain that he could survive off the fertile land, George built his home up high off the ground because he struggled to see through the mist and so didn't trust what was beneath his feet. History records the tower beginning life as a tree house before being adapted into what its' occupant called his safety tower. Happy but lonely, safe but unsettled.
STAR: Where is the lake? Dose the tower still exist?
DILL: Can you shush, this is interesting
CHLOE: Happy but lonely, Like the horses to have left him and never returned, there were times when George felt spooked. Alone, he reported in his hand written journals of times when he believed he was being followed and watched. Then: On the eve of Hallowmas or All Hallows' Eve, George Bellow saw something which caused him to abandon his home by the lake and want to build what is now known to us all as Bellow Village Church.
