Legend of Haunted Hallowdijk: Part 6

The Legend of the Haunted Hallowdijk: Part 6 - Captured

It takes a special kind of stubborn to live in a place where any of your neighbours could be a murderer. But Hallowdijk breeds stubborn folk like rabbits.
The year got round to autumn, and only a dozen people were left in the village, the guard included. Each were eyein' each other warily, wondrin' whether the killer was still among 'em, or whether they'd left town already.
Well finally, it seems the militia got lucky! Merrick and 'is men picked up young Jacob Daglunder skulking around Peer Van Gruber's House late one night, all the murder weapons in his wallet, and a list of names in 'is pocket.
Van Gruber admitted that he'd written the lad into his will a few years back, not having any family of his own left living to inherit his land.
And, when all was said and done, it were Van Gruber who was left with the De Bruer Inn, and all of its rents. Seems 'ee were a confidant of old De Pfeffel, the Widow Hagen's brother. If young Daglund had 'ad 'is way, the whole lot woulda been 'is.
Quite how a man could bring hisself to murder six people, I'll never know. Some people whisper that 'ee were the last living member of the old Dogland family, tryin' to reclaim his homeland by any means, fair or foul. Others say 'ee were afflicted by the curse on those marshes. Either way, the town's bad luck died with 'im. After they stretched 'is neck from the hanging tree, people started coming back to Hallowdijk. When the new canal was built over the Isthmus, the place became a useful supply station. Nowadays, people forget the way it once was. But not ev'ryone. Place is cursed my lads, and you'd be safer goin the long way round...
