Summary

Zach shakes Alice until she wakes up, and then shows her the mess he woke up to. Alice wonders if Poppy is responsible, but Zach doesn't think so. He is now a believer, despite Alice’s attempts to convince him that a ghost could not have been responsible. While she suggests raccoons, the hairs on his arms stand up and Zach realizes that Alice is probably scared too. He quietly tells her that he thinks it was Eleanor even though Alice insists that Poppy probably got the story about Eleanor from a library book and has just gotten carried away as usual. Alice even speculates that Poppy used ashes from a grill to fill the doll to help convince them but Zach doesn't want to lose the feeling of possibility now that he has it.

Alice rummages through Zach’s bag, looking for food...
