How could she live there full time?

And these ghost stories, you know, surrounding this pet cemetery were not just, you know, to do with animals that have been buried there, but they were about people because people had died on this property, including both of Dorothy's husbands.

The first husband was a very heavy drinker who regularly abused Dorothy.

And it got so bad at a certain point that she eventually just shot him in self-defense and killed him.

So that's how he died.

And then her second husband had died from suicide.

And Dorothy was the one who actually found his body on the porch.

And so these deaths had led to more stories about Dorothy and how she was some kind of husband killer.

But what people didn't see was how much all this death really weighed on her.

And when her mother died about six years ago, it had almost broken Dorothy completely.

Dorothy and her mother were incredibly close.

And after she died, Dorothy got so depressed that she had to be admitted to the hospital for quite a while.

She was doing better now, but some days were still really hard.

And so now at the bank, Dorothy ignored the look she got as she approached the teller.

She needed to get cash out to pay her handyman, Kenny Pommier, who had done some work at the cemetery that morning.

And because Dorothy didn't actually drive, Kenny was also her chauffeur for the day, and he was outside right now waiting to take her on a few more errands.

So Dorothy told the teller how much money she needed, and then after they counted it out and handed it to her, Dorothy took the cash, turned around, and headed back outside.

A couple hours later, around 4 p.m., Dorothy sat in the passenger seat of Kenny's car as he drove down a highway.

They had just wrapped up at the grocery store, and now he was taking her back home.

As they drove, the two made some small talk, mostly about the weather and also the work that Kenny had done that morning on the grounds.
