Hannah Died... in the mid-1800's. But I think she might still be hanging around her grave at Greenlawn Cemetery in Columbus, Ohio. When I left the grave site, my engine malfunction light went on. Curious.

After I got home, and my kids had returned home from school (not knowing I had been to the cemetery,) my eldest son came into my studio and asked, "Who is in here?"

"Just me."

"Oh. I thought there was somebody else in here. Someone said, 'Hello,' to me, and it wasn't you."

"Hmm. Was it a woman's or a man's voice?"

"A woman's." (He looked around in a confused way -- as if he were sure he should find someone else -- shrugged, and went on his way.)

I can't be certain Hannah won't follow this scarf to your home. As a disclaimer, I must say I cannot be held liable for article blessings or exorcisms that may ensue.

But my engine light went off. That's a good sign.

Available from my Etsy shop.

Sure, Rachel. I'd be glad to write an article. I'll be heading to another cemetery this week, so I'll have some new stories. Please contact me with any particular information you would like me to include. Thanks for the opportunity!

Interesting.... Would you like to write an article about these scarves for Fiber Focus (the blog)? I want to have some alternatives to Halloween and will be doing a couple of things on the Day of the Dead. This would complement it nicely!
