The Journal (All New)
True. But it just strikes me as ironic that Sam would walk toward Dean and not Dad. He's always been drawn more toward Dean, Dean's been the one taking care of him. In most cases I wouldn't think anything of it, but with this particular family it just stands out, you know?

Re: The Journal (All New)
Nov. 2, 1984:
Mary has been dead for a year. I’m never going to be over it, and I wouldn’t want to be. But I’ve spent the last year getting better at revenge.
Maybe this is a good time to write down everything I’ve got learned about Lawrence.
I’m learning about hauntings. Everyone I’ve talked to and read thinks they know everything about hauntings, but they all say something different. Or so vague that it doesn’t mean anything. I read this and that, and tell myself that if I keep doing it, I’ll start to see the patterns.

Hmmm...the part about the devil appearing in the local cemetary is interesting. So apparently he had an interest in Lawrence long before Sam came along.

Re: The Journal (All New)
Nov. 3, 1984:
In the world of spirits is always a very great number of the, as being the first sort of all, in the order of examination and preparation; but there is no fixed time for their stay; for some are translated to heaven and others confined to hell soon after their arrival; whilst some continue there for weeks, and others for several years…..Ebenezer Sibly
This reminded me of Doc Benton. From William of Newburgh:
As soon as this man was left alone in this place, the devil, imagining that he had found the right moment for breaking his courage, incontinently roused up his own chosen vessel, who appeared to have reposed longer than usual. Having beheld this from afar, he grew stiff with terror by reason of his being alone; but soon recovering his courage, and no place of refuge being at hand, he valiantly withstood the onset of the fiend, who came rushing upon him and with a terrible noise, and he struck the axe which he wielded in his hand deep into his body. On receiving this wound, the monster groaned aloud, and turning his back, fled with a rapidity not at all inferior to that with which he had advanced, while the admirable man urged his flying foe from behind, and compelled him to seek his own tomb again; which opening of its own accord, and receiving its guest from the advance of the pursuer, immediately appeared to close again with the same facility. In the meantime, they who, impatient of the coldness of the night, had retreated to the fire ran up, though somewhat too late, and, having heard what had happened, rendered needful assistance in digging up and removing from the midst of the tomb the accursed corpse at the earliest dawn. When they had divested it of the clay cast forth with it, they found the huge wound it had received, and a great quantity of gore which had flowed from it in the sepulcher; and so having carried it away beyond the walls of the monastery and burnt it, they scattered the ashes to the winds.
Everyone agrees that you have to burn them to make sure they stay dead. Should have burned Doc Benton, too, but I’m guessing the chainsaw did the trick.

Re: The Journal (All New)
Jan. 1, 1985:
New Year’s Day. Mari, I promised last year that I would avenge you. I promise again. I’ll promise it every year until it happens. I will never forget.
Jan. 24, 1985:
Dean’s sixth birthday. It’s been more than a year since he saw me kill a shape-shifter. He doesn’t ask about it anymore. And he stopped asking when he’s going to go to school. I tried to do it last fall, but I couldn’t. I just couldn’t risk it. Maybe this year, now that he’s a little older, now that he knows a little more about things. I’ve been teaching him. Not he worst stuff, but enough so he knows that there are things that go bump in the night.
Myling. Scandinavian child spirit, also called utburd. Typically the souls of murdered children, or children who died unbaptized. They will ride travelers at night and demand to be taken to a graveyard so they can rest, but they get heavier and heavier as the graveyard gets closer. Until the person carrying them is driven under the earth by their weight. This belief is derived from the practice of leaving unwanted or deformed infants out to die of exposure. Generally they haunt the location where they were abandoned, but folklore also notes their presence in the dwellings of those who killed them…. Usually a family member. If their remains can be located and buried in hallowed ground, they will disappear.

Hm, I'm kind of surprised Dean actually wanted to go to school. But then again, I guess even at that age he was craving a normal life. It's sad that eventually he let go of that...well almost let it go. And then Sam started wanting it. Poor guys.

Re: The Journal (All New)
May 2, 1985:
Sammy is two today. Two years in a row we’ve spent his birthday in Colorado, where I had to stop by Daniel’s. Still never seen a vampire, but Elkins is such a hermit that because I talk to him, other hunters are starting to ask me to pick his brain for them.
Crosses won’t repel them, and sunlight won’t kill them. They can go outside. They need blood to survive, and prefer human blood, but can survive on other mammals if there are no humans around. The only way to be sure of killing them is beheading, although the blood of a dead man is like poison to them. It won’t kill them, but it weakens them, makes them slow and sick.
Daniel says they’re extinct, but he keeps an eye out anyway, and he thinks I should know enough about them to take one on if there are any left. He gave me a copy to this article, in case it was ever useful.

Ah, the introduction of Daniel Elkins...and vampires. I really love how they handle vamps on SN...and werewolves too. Very cool!

I've always loved werewolves...The Wolfman is my favorite classic horror pic. And I love that SN has reworked them...makes them seem much more "real". Same with the vamps.

Re: The Journal (All New)
September 7, 1985:
Today was Dean's first day of school. I put him straight into the first grade. He's almost seven, and I just told the school that he'd been in kindergarde back in Kansas. They didn't press too hard when I told them that the kids had lost their mother, and we'd been moving around a lot. I think we'll stay here for a while. Or try, anyway. I felt normal again while I was taking Dean to school. He asked me on the way in whether the kids in school learned the same stuff he'd been learning. I hat to tell him that maybe it wasn't a good idea for him to talk about Dad's job on the playground.
He came home on top of the world, and he brought me worksheets with the names of different parts of a fish, different numbers of apples and oranges added together....this is what it should be like...Why can't it?
Sammy wants to be in school too. I can't even imagine staying in one place for long enough that he'll start here. Three years seems like forever.

Re: The Journal (All New)
Nov. 2, 1985:
Mary has been dead for two years. I've been on the road for three days, cleaning up a haunted building in San Francisco. Already these are starting to seem like an every day chore to me. You get the story, you find the remains, you burn them and salt them. End of story. These were two girls, and the whole ride back tot he roadhouse I was thinking that I'll never have girls. Dean saw something on my face, or maybe it was just something that he knew what day it is. When I got here, he came up to me and aksed if I'd had a tough hunt. I couldn't talk for a moment.

The Journal (All New)
Nov. 14, 1985:
Took Dean shooting. If he’s big enough to try to comfort me, he’s big enough to start learning the tools of the trade. I only let him fire the .22, but he is a deadeye marksman. My drill sergeant would have taken him over me in a second. Times like this, I sure am proud of my boy. I have feeling it’ll be different with Sammy. Maybe he’s just too young to show it, but I don’t think he’s got the same kind of killer instinct.
Jan. 1, 1986:
Happy New Year. This year, Mary, I will find out what killed you.
Jan. 24, 1986:
For his seventh birthday, I took Dean shooting again. He want to fire one of the big guns… that’s what he called them. I let him shoot the Browning, but I steadied his hands. Sammy wanted me to help him make Dean a card. It was like a normal day, like we were a normal family with a mom who was off shopping or at work or something. Instead of dead. That illusion never lasts. I can’t afford to let it.

Well this echoes the memory Dean had in "No Exit". I find it intringuing that Dad mentions Sam seems to lack the killer instincct...when he's the one with the demon blood in him. I know, Dad didn't know that - just meant you'd think that would have given him some kind of killer instinct, but then I've always believed there was powerful good in him too which has kept the demon stuff at bay.

Ah...so now we know exactly what happened to cause Bill Harvelle's death. And considering how early on it was in Dad's own hunting career, I think he can be forgiven the mistake.
I was intrigued by the line "It was the sound cancer would make if it could talk" - GREAT piece of writing. What an image!

Re: The Journal (All New)
May 2, 1986:
Tahlequah, OK. Sammy is three years old today. We celebrated with ice-cream cake. He was still wearing most of it when he fell asleep. Dean’s sleeping too, the two of them in the bed. The room only had one bed. I’ll sleep on the floor, if I sleep at all. Some nights it’s enough to watch them sleep, and to know that if they start to have a nightmare I’ll be right there to stop it.
May 17, 1986:
This would have been our eight anniversary. Eight is bronze.
September 5, 1986:
Dean started second grade. I watched him like a hawk. He makes me swear that I’ll take good care of Sammy before he’ll go to school. God, I love that kid. I have the days with Sammy while Dean is learning whatever kids learn in the second grade. Sammy’s a very different kid. He hasn’t taken to the idea of hunting bad buys, and he’s still too young to really understand what it means to avenge his mother. To him, her death just means she’s not here, and he doesn’t remember her. For him, Mary is a word. A mother, to him, is something he never had… but he’s still suppose to be sad that she died. I don’t think he gets it. How could he really?

Awww...man, going off to second grade and already worried sick about taking his eyes off Sam!
And poor Sam...not having any concept of what a mother really is. That's why I wished they'd brought back Missouri...in some ways, she's the closest either boy ever had to a mother figure.

Re: The Journal (All New)
Ocotber 30th, 1986:
I saw an exorcism today. Or somthing that looked like an exocism. Acocrding to Jim, there really are demons. I don't know if I believe that....he's a pastor, so of course he does, but demons?" From Hell? Evne after the things I've seen these past three years (almost), I can't quite make demons fit. But between watching what happened to Bill at Devil's Gate, and what I saw today.... I don't know.
Jim knows I have the journal. After he was done, and the girl was looking around like someone who'd just woken up from the worst nightmare you can imagine, he took me back to his church and had me copy down a shorter version of the Rituale Romanun exorcism ritual. Usually he said, yu don't have to read the whole thing. Most demons can't hold on for that long. But he wants me to copy the whole thing just in case. So I'm going to. I don't know if I believe in demons, but I'm not sure I can disbeleive in them anymore.
The Rituale Romanum was widely used in the the mid-to late 13th century in most of easter Europe until the church banned it's use in the begining of the 14th centruy. Initial studies indicate that this anti-curse was particularly helpful in ridding the individual of unwanted guests.
The first part of the ritual expels the entity from the host. The second half of the ritual banishes the spirit back from whence it came. Repeat the incantation as follows:
1. Regna Tarrae, cantate deo,
psallite domino,
qui vehitur per culus
cuelos antiquos!
Ecce, edit vocem suam, vocem potentem;
Akinoscite potentiam dei!
Majestas ejus,
Et potentia ejus
In nubisbus.
2. Timendus est dues e sancto suo,
dues Israel; ipse potentiam
datest robur populo suo
benedictus dues.
Gloria Patri.
On the ocmpletion of the first part of the incantation the demon may take one or more of several forms ranging from liquid to gaseous to corporeal to any combination of the aforementioned. Great care must be taken in performing the second part of the ritual. The demon upon expulsion can become very powerful without the need of a host. Beware that the spirit can enter a host through any opening in the host. Keep your eyes open and your mouth shut.
