Then, one day, after a disagreement with typically agreeable Christopher, he runs off into the nearby forest.
While there looking to retrieve Christopher, Sarah stumbles onto a giant, clearing with an equally large dugout in it.

But later still, after witnessing some more strange behavior by the lady who lives close by and getting to talk with her husband about the couple's young son who past and his wives' relationship with him, Sarah becomes suspicious.

Maybe the woman didnt go crazy.
Maybe she did know something no one else could understand...
