Graveyard Scare

Riddle

In the village of Townie, everyone (including the kids) knew that if you stuck a knife in a grave, particularly a relative's grave, as you start to walk away you will be pulled under. One night there was a party in the village that everyone was invited to. Margaret Kittredge was a little girl in the town. All the kids gathered at these parties as well. One of the boys dared Margaret--who was wearing a long dress--to stick a knife in her grandmother's grave at midnight. She agreed to do it, not knowing what the future held for her. All the boys said that they would wait and watch but when they got there, they ran away from fright. Margaret stuck the knife into her grandmother's grave. When she started to walk away, something held her back! She screamed and cried and struggled. The next morning, the people found her body by the grave. If she wasn't pulled under, what killed her?
