I drove back from Ipswich, once again over the bridge, and saw all the tyre tracks leading in and out of that little parking area beside the creek - it was quite muddy there after all the rain we've had lately.
Kinda spooky to think that some of those tracks may have belonged to Aunty...
I slowed right down as I passed over the bridge, both going and coming back. My mood changed, completely spontaneously, to quite sombre and reflective. Once I turned that bend in the road so that the creek was not directly behind me, the mood became normal again. That was really quite eerie - perhaps something like Allicat's experience as she got her intuitive feeling driving over the bridge before Allison's body was found.
I'm no believer in religion, afterlife, or spirits - but that eerie feeling going over the bridge today - twice - makes me just wonder a bit more about that. Spirits of the departed? Don't know. But something affected my mood in the oddest way as I drove over there.
Purely on the practical train of thoughts, though, the Mason's house, with the "For Sale" sign up, is 700-800m from the bridge, with a lot of trees and vegetation between those two points. I wonder just what went on that night in the small hours, who saw what, more importantly who HEARD what, how many people were spotted, etc etc....
