Scout turned around to look over the other side of the roof, just in time to see someone running over to the place. Specifically, a red-haired girl dragging a guy in a suit by his leg while being chased by a buttload of skeletons. There was also another green-haired girl nearby, who had already begun talking to them.

Gaige didn't drag Hildibrand anywhere. She just pulled him out of the ground then ran for cover. Also the Stalchildren won't come into the Ranch so if Scout is on one of the roofs he shouldn't be able to see them.

Also the trees around Gourd Lake aren't dead. It's a national park, there is at least enough upkeep to keep the trees living.
