Joe The Ghost Guy: Part out. on the water You stare. The light doesn't move. You blink. It's still there. Then.
Joe The Ghost Guy: It starts to get... closer.
Joe The Ghost Guy: The most disturbing part of the legend. It's a simple. that the blue lady appears. As well as where. Wait. disappear or it is where She appears.
Joe The Ghost Guy: She is set to hover. just above the dark water. not swim. Not one. Hover as those her feet.
Joe The Ghost Guy: Never touch the lake. as though something is keeping her suspended. between the world of the living. And the place.

Joe The Ghost Guy: The moon. Yes. silver. A balloon? You can look. home. Almost lifeless.
Joe The Ghost Guy: And according to the Full Hollow legend, That is. the color associated with her. Imagine. See you in that glow.
Joe The Ghost Guy: floating across the lake. You assume it's just a reflection. a distant flashlight. Perhaps, moonlight striking on the water.

Joe The Ghost Guy: What would you do? Would you run? Would you call for someone? Would you turn away?
Joe The Ghost Guy: or Would you just stare? trying to convince yourself. That you're seeing something That isn't really there.
Joe The Ghost Guy: One of the most... huntunting ideas behind the Blue Lady. Legend. is that the idea that the water can hide history.
Joe The Ghost Guy: When you look across the full hollow lake, You're looking and a modern landscape. But beneath that. that water is a memory of another landscape.
Joe The Ghost Guy: The Hollow. They existed. existed before the lake itself The Old Settlement of lives. a people who struggle there.
Joe The Ghost Guy: And the... places they have but left behind. That make the fool hollow. different from any haunted building. a haunted house.
Joe The Ghost Guy: can be explored. a haunted hotel can be entered. an abandoned prison. Ken. be walked through.

Joe The Ghost Guy: closely figure Stent or stirring. starting out of the water. towards the visitors.
Joe The Ghost Guy: And perhaps there is something fitting about that. because the ghost stories survive. When people continue to tell them.
Joe The Ghost Guy: The Blue Lady. may exist only in legend. Or perhaps there's something else. behind Story. or be on Behind the story.
Joe The Ghost Guy: A strange light. A distant figure. A reflection. A memory. A story passes from one person to another.
