Jeremiah Whitlock

"Here are their names. Tom McKade. Jeremiah Whitlock. Hugh Matthews. William Olson. I accuse each and every one of you is guilty of the same evil. You fear strangers for no reason other than that they are strangers. In your fear you condemned Amelia de la Cruz; you let an innocent woman die. You are the evil that infects this town, not I. Your own actions this morning prove it."

- Marianne's confession

Jeremiah Whitlock was a resident of rural Williamstown back in the 1800's. Like the rest of the townsfolk, Jeremiah was warped to believe that evil lurked everywhere and every stranger who came to the town was evil. Marianne Olson mentioned his name as she accused the town of their crime.
