She was an older woman from a nearby neighborhood who told us she typically walks her dogs there. She said she was mystified when she looked from her backyard and saw a scarecrow in the far distance. The dogs had come running at us with one of them barking heavily at the Witch. The others seemed to be enjoying the open space, as their owner laughed and excitedly told us over and over again that she absolutely loved these weird creatures. She asked a ton of questions about the props and took a load of photos. She and the three dogs posed a few times for some photos with the Witch and the scarecrow... I snapped away using her phone as we all blabbed and spoke about the property and its history, and our strange hobby of photographing monsters. The dogs turned out to be the sweetest animals. And the big one eventually stopped barking at the Witch.
We said farewell and packed up the creatures and headed to the Downingtown diner for a terrific blob-themed breakfast. They're VERY proud of their blob there, and I'd highly recommend it if you're ever in the area.
