Cliffs and stared down at the raging surf and
jagged rocks below.
Next to her stood Professor Mark Veno, a
mysterious visitor to Collinwood. He spoke to
her in a low sinister voice. "Think of all those
who threw themselves from these very rocks."
His eyes seemed to burn into hers.
"He's hypnotizing me," she thought. She was
unable to make herself look away. "No," she

IIRC, on the TV show, the cliff was called Widows' Hill. Whatever the name, you'd think the local police or state police or SOMEBODY would think to put a fence across the thing.
