Archie takes up jogging through Pickins' Park, and meets a beautiful but unsmiling girl who warns him to be careful at the dangerous "Coffin Curve" at the bottom of Thrill Hill. Mr. Meeks tells Archie that this was Jill Johnson, a girl who was killed at Coffin Curve a decade earlier when a drunk driver couldn't make the curve and ran into her. Archie can't believe that he talked to a ghost, but when he's running past Coffin Curve that night, Jill reappears to save him from sharing her fate.
