Talk:It Lives Theory Page/@comment-3452092-20181017191303

So my theory is that when they made the dam, there was at least one person who died. We know it's been fifteen years since the dam was made, so I would guess at least as many people have died in that time. The lake is right next to the woods and we know the woods have something messed up going on that has been going on for centuries. It makes sense that this would spill into the nearby areas, the the monster in the woods wasn't the only monster and that when someone died in the making of the dam, they became one, too and subsequent victims have also become monsters (or perhaps have replaces monsters leaving them in a state like Jane, not fully dead and yet no longer alive).

Also, given this theory it is entirely possible that it was Deirdre Mallory who pulled Kyle in to the water and perhaps if there isn't a way to bring Kyle back to life (which I am not going to discount as a possibility given my theory and various other things, but don't believe is likely, just possible) we will be facing Kyle at some point late in the book.
