He was probably just imagining things. CROSS CUT EXT. CEMETERY-MEDIUM SHOT SETH Seth is staggering forward towards the camera. The camera trucks back with his pace as he has to use many of the tombstones to keep from falling. Behind Seth, William slowly creeps up, holding the shovel ready to swing it like a bat.
