An excerpt from Sorrows in the Earth:

Trouble in the Air, and Under the Ground

"Sorry to say they don't much want to look at us, either," the ghost of Mark's grandfather said. "Can't say I've traveled all that much since I passed over, not that I ever thought I could until you and Mark took up together. But I can't work out what the trouble is."

He paused, and Clina's ghost jumped in sharp as a razor.

"Best tell her what you been carrying on to me about, Walt. If it's so all-fired important as you say, get it out so they might can do something about it."

Wisps of fear curled through Beth's belly and heart.

"I don't want to worry you, now," Mark's Papaw said. "All this is so new to me I might be mistaken, hear? But I got to tell you if feels to me like Mark is caught up in all this somehow."

"All this?" Beth said. "You mean the town itself? Or the way people won't look at each other? I don't understand."

"Yeah, I was afraid of that. It's more like…some of the trouble is pointing toward him. Or maybe he can serve some kind of a purpose. I sure am sorry, Beth. I can't work it out any better."

Beth's own words about the two of them getting a break from all the excitement of the last few months soured and curdled in her memory.
