Once there, he finds he has writer’s block and decides to take a walk in the woods. During his walk, he meets a woman named Sarah and they chat. When he tells her he has writer’s block, she tells him she has a story and that he should write about a man who meets the ghost of a murdered woman and has to solve her unsolved murder. When Joseph goes into town, he asks about the woman, only to be told they don’t know of anyone like that in the area.

Joseph meets some of the suspects in the case, along with meeting some of the teacher’s former students. When he returns to his cabin one evening, he finds someone had been there earlier, and takes extra pains to secure the doors and windows. During the night, someone tries and fails to break in. The next morning, Joseph talks to his mystery woman, and together they unmask the murderer.
