Have you ever had a bad feeling? Lindsey Baum, Katherine Hobbes and Jill Robinson would all tell their loved ones in the days and sometimes months before their murders about their own bad feelings. The dread was so pervasive and carried such a certainty to Katherine Hobbes that she wrote letters for her everyone in her family to be opened upon death, sure that she would not live to the age of 16. Jill Robinson had recurring and eerily specific nightmares of such severity she put into therapy months before her eventual murder at the age of 12- exactly as she foresaw in her recurring dream. And 24 hours before Lindsey Baum vanished, the normally upbeat and bubbly 10 year old confessed to her mother, “I 'Mom, I just have this really bad feeling that something bad's going to happen.” She vanished the next day on June 26, 2009. How do you know when the ordinary fears and nightmares of childhood are actually a warning? How do you know that the monster in the closet isn’t really there? This is a tale of tragedy and strange knowledge, of dark visions and real monsters. This is a story of 3 girls who knew. And it’s Past Dark.
