The Diary of John Winchester

Name: UNK

Classification: ghost, angry spirit

Description: spirit appears as that of a young child, female

Lore Reference: Shelby Fields [ref. County Courthouse in San Jose (b. Oct.8th, 1984, d. July 4th, 1991)], body was found by local rescue workers after mother called 911. Child had been missing several hours. Police decided to dredge the lake. Inconsistencies between mother’s story and autopsy led to homicide charges against mother. Ms. Fields pleaded temporary insanity.

Encountered At: outside Palo Alto, California

Specific Attacks: child seemed to be going after woman who had aborted their children, or otherwise harmed them. More research showed that all the victims had either had abortions, or had been charged with child abuse. According to the report on the recovered victim, ghost was slicing open the abdomen of the women and possibly letting them bleed to death.

Kill By: salt and burn bones, salt and burn article tied in with death.

Personal Notes: Dean and Max did well on the research. We had enough to begin the hunt. They discovered the original drowning of Shelby Fields by her mother. They also found the coverage of the court case. We found the location of the child’s grave and salted and burned the bones. We returned to the beach but the child was still appearing outside of an abandoned shack. At our return, we discovered the ghost luring another woman into the shack. We prevented the woman (Julia, I believe her name was.) from being hurt. While Dean and I held off the ghost, Max and Julia were able to explore the shack. They found the cellar and through there a tunnel that led to a small cave not far away. The bodies of the other victims were there, in various stages of decay. Among the carnage was a child’s blanket. Max recalled the court records in which Ms. Fields reported that she had covered her daughter’s face with something, though she couldn’t recall what it was, so that she wouldn’t have to see her daughter’s face while she died. Though police searched the cabin where Ms. Fields claimed to have hidden it, it was never recovered. (Not surprisingly, they used trained dogs to try and hunt it down by scent. As Dean put it, the dogs were unsuccessful not because the water washed the scent off, but because they were tucking tail and running from the ghost.) Max surmised, correctly, that the blanket was the item. She salted and burned it and the spirit was destroyed.

Julia (she never gave a last name) was very shaken up. During their discussion afterwards, Max questioned her as to the reason the child would have been going after her. Julia asserted that she had never had an abortion, nor had she ever hurt a child. Max believes that she was lying about the latter, though she didn’t say so to Julia. As she pointed out to us later, the woman may never have been charged with anything, but if she believed that she had hurt a child, the intent might have been enough to activate the ghost’s revenge.

Julia also was able to assure us that she had some contacts with the Palo Alto police and would be able to direct them to the dead bodies, putting an end to the case. She knew that the police wouldn’t believe what had truly happened, so she would inform them that she had stumbled upon this place while exploring and the stench in the cellar revealed the bodies. It seemed a little flimsy, but she was sure she could make it work. Since we hadn’t given her our real names, we weren’t overly concerned, so with the job done, we left.

Add. - Max checked for the next few days and eventually the article discovering the bodies by a “concerned citizen” was discovered. It all played out exactly how Julia said it would and no mention at all of us was made in the article or anywhere else.
