Lilly Gray: Victim of The Beast 666 — The Dead History

It’s All In The Epitaph... The Salt Lake City Cemetery, located in downtown Salt Lake is a 120-acre cemetery with over 9 1/2 miles of old, narrow roads. The cemetery saw its first burial in September 1847, however it wasn't until January of 1851 that an ordinance was passed incorporating Salt Lake

This was just a curious thing I stumbled upon the other day, and given we’re just out of spooky season, I thought it worth sharing!

It’s the small tale of how one normal woman became fascinating after death, because her headstone says “Victim of the Beast 666″. 

How was she a victim of the beast?

Inevitably, it draws that question, and people continue to visit, and apparently leave offerings, to this headstone. 

But how was she a victim?

The truth is, we simply don’t know, and can only speculate what caused her husband to make that decision. Some believe it was a “fuck you” to the government he believed caused her death. Others think he may have had hallucinations.

Still - if you can’t make a bang in life, why not after it, right?

... is it normal to be happy for a little family group of murders... whilst at the same time really really hate them...

I don't want to control you.

Everyone should be impressed that I wrote something that isn't directly smut.

I've been thinking obsessively about what the twins must have been like as small children and as they grew up. So here is Lily reflecting on just that subject. 

Her Boys Words: 833 Implied Luke/Mark (no underage)

            Lily knew the boys were a little different from the moment she took them in.

            There was something in the way that Luke looked at her almost jealously whenever Mark came to her to kiss his scraped knees or sooth the nightmares he’s had. And something in the way that Mark let Luke crawl into his bed night after night, like a living security blanket that seemed slightly abnormal.

            She wondered if there was even a point to the separate beds anymore, but left them just in case.

            They liked to take each other’s places, pretending to be the other, responding to the wrong names. At that age they were nearly identical, but Mark always barely stifled a giggle when she called him Luke. And Luke had a certain way of smiling at Mark’s name. But she plays along. It seems to make them happy.

            The first time she left them alone while she went away on business, when she returned it was almost as though they don’t need her, like they’ve developed a secret language all their own. But Mark still liked to sit on her lap while she read him stories, and Luke still liked to sit in the corner with his head on his knees waiting for Mark to come to bed.

            She has a particularly vivid memory of the days after she returned, watching the boys interact in all sorts of new ways. Mark had developed a habit of pushing Luke’s hair up on his forehead, slicking it back and giggling.  Luke started to wear it that way.

            By the time they were in school they’d alienated most of the neighbor kids, because Luke was inclined to scare off anyone who came near them with knives he stole from the kitchen and Mark doesn’t really care enough to correct it, happy to pull his brother around by the hand, telling him which kids to torment.

            School was mostly the boys keeping to themselves and Luke driving teachers mad, endless letters coming home about his “challenges” in the classroom. They suggested separating the boys. Lily advised against it but they went forward with it anyway.

            Two days later the boys were back in class together. Mark missed two days worth of lessons because all he would do was stare at the wall and Luke threw such massive temper tantrums he actually caused structural damage to one of the rooms.

            Lily didn’t leave the boys in school for long. She let them grow up on their own, never pushed them to make friends outside of each other, never discouraged the violent tendencies they tended to exhibit. Luke kept stealing knives from the kitchen until he got a real hunting knife for his birthday. He carried it everywhere like a trophy. Mark read books that seemed far beyond his age. She never censored them.

            She let them sleep in the same bed, and in their teenage years never questioned if anything else was going on (though peeking into their room at night revealed Mark draped over Luke, clinging to him in his sleep as though he could disappear at any moment).           

            She is sympathetic to the fact that they’ve only had each other, and that they truly, only trust each other. At any age, when she brought a new family member into the fold, Luke would shut down. At times when he was younger it was violent outbursts against them, or unfortunate bystanders, but over the years it’s faded to quiet passivity and scathing remarks. Mark doesn’t make much of an effort except with a few he connects with from the start. Luke doesn’t take that well either. 

            Lily doesn’t fail to notice the possessive bite marks on Mark’s neck that show up over the next few days after Mark makes a new friend. But she lets this go as well.

            They’ve grown a lot over the years, and despite their entanglement with each other, they are shockingly different. But she’ll always see Mark as the little boy turning the pages of a book in her lap, and perhaps, it’s why she’s easier on him. Luke has always been independent of everyone except Mark. And she never gives him a task he isn’t capable of completing. No matter how much he seethes about it.

            They’re her boys. And she loves them dearly, for all the things that others would see as flaws. Luke is brilliant and confident, loyal to his family and self-assured. Mark is quietly intelligent, well-read, and sweet when he choses to be.  It doesn’t matter to her if they’re outcasts, or if they’re violent, or sometimes careless in the things she tasks them with.

            She knows no one would understand it, the way they’ve been brought up, the things she’d brought them into. But they are family. She is their mother, and they are her sons. They’ve been brought up as well as she could imagine, integral parts of the plan to come.

 And she’s proud of her boys.

Connie Nielsen's Lilly Gray Is More Of A Follower Than We Thought

Kayleigh Falvey Staff Writer

It seems that fans of the hit series The Following have been mislead as it has been revealed that the character of Lilly Gray is not who she appeared to be.

The character, played by Connie Nielsen, was originally thought to be the new love interest for Kevin Bacon’s character Ryan Hardy, but now has been revealed to be a devotee of Ryan’s enemy Joe Carroll.

Not only that, but Gray is also the mother to the psychotic twins Mark and Luke (both played by Sam Underwood). Nielsen told The Hollywood Reporter about the sudden change in character, saying, “I had some pretty strong facts available to me but even we don’t know everything that’s about to happen. The scenes that come up and the forehand knowledge you acquire to play this character makes it really fun to play in each new episode and revealing new sides of her personality—in my case, of her personality disorder.”

She also spoke to TVGuide.com about the twist and the secrecy behind it saying, “It’s really hysterical because I’ve been unable to tell anybody, even my kids. I’ve received so many texts messages. My whole family and all my friends have been like,’ I knew it! I knew it!’”

Nielsen then added, “I think its safe to assume that Lilly is very, very, very intelligent, that she has very few limitations put on her. She is very, very wealthy and can do an enormous amount of things. And she’s not burdened by empathy or guilt. That sets her free to be a lot of different things and do a lot of different things.”

Lilly Gray was introduced into the series during the season premier as a survivor of an attack on the Manhattan subway system that took place on the anniversary of Joe Carroll’s rumoured death.
