Sam and Elijah sit in the library and puzzle over the visions they've seen and things they learned about Cotton, Burroughs, ravens, and the hangings. Sam tells Elijah about the creepy house in the woods and the woman who is supposed to eat birds. Elijah asks where the house is and leaves. A random boy confronts Sam and takes a picture of her, so Sam leaves the library. Elijah finds her and says that the house is full of spells that prevent him from getting in. He’s found that his fiancée formed an obsession with his death and buried his body at the edge of her property. Her family questioned her sanity, and even though she was banished from town, she refused to be separated from Elijah. The house Sam found was hers. He and his fiancée had matching leather journals with feathers on them, and her nickname for Elijah was bird. They determine that the woman with the raven in Sam's grandmother's dreams and journal is his fiancée. She is somehow involved in the curse, so maybe Elijah is also involved, since he died by suicide, leaving her alone. Sam asks if he wants to stop being a spirit, and he says he thought so, but to care about another person is a good reason to live.
