His gravestone!

Marshall's friend Cissy not wanting anyone else to join tried to scare them away by telling them about the ghost who haunts the graveyard named Old Man Corcoran. He just dismissed this as a lie and told them not to listen. Also he and his friends didn't believe them when they said they ran home scared after seeing Old Man Corcoran.

Marshall gave Jack and Kenny another chance to join their group by being it together, while he and his other five friends would hide. Near the end of the game, he popped out from an open grave. Then he tried to convince Jack and Kenny to climb and hide in it with him saying it is the perfect hiding place they can NEVER find you in here!  He was just trying to bury them alive and send them to an early grave.

Marshall vanished when Old Man Corcoran appeared. Old Man Corcoran saved Jack and Kenny just in time and revealed the truth about Marshall and his friends to them.
