Mary keeps calling out to the strange figure. The figure keeps silent even as there's a great wind. Nothing seems to make this figure move. Since he isn't answering, she decides to take a risk and slowly starts to move towards the figure. Listen, if you're ever in a horror book don't go walking to obvious danger. Just run and don't stop.

As Mary gets closer the thought of the figure standing as still as a statue makes something click in her mind. A few seconds later she realizes that the figure isn't moving or answering because it's a scarecrow. Wow, isn't that embarrassing. Glad that no one else is around.

Then she suddenly realizes that it's extremely odd for someone to put a scarecrow there. Okay, I don't know whether she should continue to investigate or not. If someone is cursing her family, I doubt avoiding the scarecrow will save her. As she doesn't consult with me, she walks even closer to the scarecrow.
