What was the thing growling in the graveyard? It sounded like a rabid dog,
but the flash looked like a rabbit or something small.

My first thought was that it was the mountain lion from a few weeks ago...

Yeah, I thought it was the mountain lion,too. I didn't see it, tho. The
only animal I saw was when Claire was driving away and the deer ran in
front of her causing Claire to crash.

I thought it was a coyote. It sounded canine. Or just a wild dog.

Coyotes will come and dig up dead things. Ask me about my dead horse...

Let's gather 'round the campfire while FVBW shares the story of the
coyote and his dead horse.

Come on...let her rip!

Fractured Fairytale version: coyotes can tunnel long distances. Dead horses
can also SMELL for long distances. Spring smelled awfully strange until we
put two and two together and dumped another ton of dirt on ol' Bob.

Learn something new on that Internet every day. I wouldn't have
thought a dead horse could smell anything at all.

In all fairness to the deer, it didn't cause the crash. It was
Claire's stupid reaction that did; trying to steer around it on
a one lane country road while speeding. In most situations,
it's would probably be better to hold on to the steering wheel
and take it out. Very likely the car would have still been driveable.

It is still my opinion, though, that deer are the most intelligent
vegetables on the planet. Giant, hairy cockroaches that should
be wiped out.

A scenario borrowed from S5 of "The Sopranos".

You can get pretty badly messed up by hitting a deer. Killed even. I once
saw the after effects of a deer hit on a range rover. The entire front end
was plowed in.

More people get killed avoiding the deer than hitting it. Every damn fall
the newspapers carry articles on what to do if a deer leaps out in front of
your car. Their recommendation: hit it. In fact, if you can, speed up and
hit it because then it will go up and over your roof instead of through your
windshield.

Depends on the car, maybe. My 95 Geo Metro (which I bought
new) has hit and killed so many deer that I put the name "Deer
Slayer" on the fender along with little deer silhouettes like
WWI flying aces used to use. Had four when I ordered the
stickers; currently holding at seven. You'd be amazed how far
you can launch a full grown deer with a car that size going 65.
I once saw a Ford F250 truck that only hit ONE deer, and it
looked like it got hit by a wrecking ball as it got towed away.
My car never even stopped running. Each time I just take off
the hood and hammer it more or less straight (except for that
one windshield). The air bags didn't even pop until the fifth
deer.

I do drive 35 miles through the country to work, at about 5 in
the AM. Sometimes it seems like those deer just drop out of
the sky. Oddly, all these deer were in the space of about a
year and a half.

Wow. Hit 7!! I live in a place where there are thousands, and also
thousands of houses going up, taking away their habitat. I've never
hit one, though one actually hit ME ! It ran into the side of my car,
got up and ran off back in the direction it came from. I thought my
door would be caved in, but no sign of anything. I hope the deer
fared as well.
But I guess being on the road at 5:00 am would make a big difference.
I try to be continually watching not only the road, but off to the
sides.

I thought so too at first, but after watching the episode I think it

I was thinking the mountain lion as well. With Nate's spirit telling
Claire "...you need to get out of here NOW" (or whatever the exact
quote was) it seemed like it was something that was going to harm her
(yeah, Russel insisting he get credit for the photographs again...).

Claire was quite stoned and upset. She may have had the mountain lion
incident in mind and freaked out proportionally, but I think it was
really some small harmless critter.

hee hee. Anyway, I thought it was a wolf, coyote, or large feral
dog. But then the rabbit ran out, so it was stalking that small
game. But it still could have attacked Clare.
Deer. We are really overrun by them here. And in the last two
years, two people in our county have been killed from hitting them.
In one case it came through the window and killed the passenger. In
the other an oncoming car hit the deer and it again, went through the
windshield of the car coming in the opposite lane.
To end on a better note, I have twin fawns that come in my yard
everyday. They stare at me and stamp their feet. SO cute!

Snipe.

That's what awaits us all in the hereafter: 24/7/365 snipe hunts. That's why
you should never go to a cemetery at night.

I've been thinking about this animal in the graveyard. The fact that Nate
told Claire to run from whatever that thing was could have been her
subconcious telling her that what's "out there" in life is scary and instead
of facing it head on, run from it. And then after her hearse was picked up
by the tow truck she was shown on a bus at night. Betcha she's going to
Seattle....

Does anyone else see it this way?

But he didn't say that. He simply said, "Run away!"

And she does, no doubt.

If he did say "run away" that proves it. It was the Killer Rabbit from
"Monty Python & The Holy Grail."
