The Silver Bough
“For a woman with her looks and money, she was oddly awkward, socially, but she’d done a great job on her house, which obviously meant a lot to her, and when she opened the door to her apple room, Kathleen had the feeling that she’d been offered something very rare and valuable, an entrée to this lonely woman’s heart.
And then, inside the walled orchard, something weird had happened. Kathleen didn’t understand it. She wasn’t a timid or nervous person, and she’d certainly never thought of herself... as having psychic tendencies, but as she’d stepped out of the late-evening sunshine into the darker confines of the enclosed garden, the hairs stood up on the back of her neck, and she’d felt immediately that she was in the presence of the numinous. Numinous! Now, there was a word from her freshman year in college, a word she rarely had occasion to use, but it seemed appropriate, and more accurate than the other word she’d thought of in connection with the orchard, which was haunted.MoreLess
