Ever since then when people go and stay on the island, they say they see a ghost wandering the island. But whenever someone is camping on the island on the date she was killed, the ghost of Judy murders the people staying there. She possesses one of the campers and uses there body to murder the other so that they don't have to go through what she had to go through. |
