Nancy Drew: Ghost of Thornton Hall (2013 Video Game)

Adrienne MacIain: Savannah Woodham, Miscellaneous

Quotes 

• Savannah Woodham : When I was young, there was a spot in my room where I could fold back the wallpaper. There was this gorgeous old wood behind it. I mean, to me it was. I'd trace the ripples in the grain with my finger for sometimes hours.

  Nancy Drew : Why?

  Savannah Woodham : I don't know. I was a girl and it was the only thing I knew about that no one else did. I don't know exactly when it started, but I began to trace a beautiful old willow into the wall over and over again. Strong limbs running up into the sky, and the tangled roots grabbing tight at the dirt. I was obsessed. I traced that tree until I knew every detail. I even started to see it after a time, little indentations in the wood. But one day the lines felt strange and cold- and I realized it wasn't the wall I was feeling. -there was a girl on the other side of the wood. She was showing me what to draw, she was trying to tell me something. I should have shut my eyes tight and glued the paper back. But I didn't and I couldn't. I let her teach me the shape of the tree again, and again until one day I saw it in real life.

  Nancy Drew : What happened?

  Savannah Woodham : Not a thing until a strong storm hit a few months later. I don't have to tell you what they found when they pulled what was left of the willow tree from the ground, now do I? That's when I decided I would learn to listen. I knew even then it'd come at a cost. I just had no idea how high.

• Savannah Woodham : Thornton Hall is a dangerous place for people like me.

• Savannah Woodham : To be blunt, the living Thorntons are just as scary as the dead ones.

• Savannah Woodham : Think of it this way: in one hundred parallel universes, only five Nancys get eaten by a ghost.

• Savannah Woodham : I can't help but wonder if they're misfortunate fools, or just addicted to Sunday clothes and the sound of a spade takin' a bite out of cold clay.
