SK'S FACE ON BARN? Since mid-June, thousands of fans have pilgrimaged to Gary Stillson's farm in the small western Michigan community of Castle Dune, to view what is said to be a ghost-like image of Stephen King's face on the side of Stillson's cow-barn. Stillson claims the face suddenly appeared one morning while he was shoveling the barn clean. "I fell to the ground and wept," Stillson said of his immediate reaction to the discovery, "right thar amongst the cow-floppies and all." George Dusset, owner of the nearby Castle Dune market, said there was no doubt in his mind that the face was that of the popular author. "Just looking at that thing gives me the willies," he said. Mr. Dusset went on to say that his store now carries a full line of souvenirs, including the fast selling "I SURVIVED THE FACE" t-shirt. Although both Dusset and Stillson swear that the image is authentic, another local resident claims it is nothing more than one of "them Smith Brothers" from an old cough-drop ad showing through layers of peeling and faded paint. The resident declined to identify himself, saying only mysteriously, "The pile of shit has a thousand eyes." |
