About mid May I traveled to this forest preserve to take some pictures and look around to see if I could capture any wildlife for a photo page I participate in on facebook. Little did I know that the trip would prove to be a little more than I bargained for. I had written a note or two on facebook about my experience on the Small Town Paranormal fan page, and many people were interested in what the history around this area is. This is what I know. Around 200 years ago, a group of Indians used to hunt this entire area. My daughter and I even found an arrowhead in the field not far from this very spot. The Ghost girl however is more recent than that. For many years there have been wild stories surrounding the old Boy Scout Camp outside of Kirkland Illinois. I have traveled there many times and spent countless hours down there as a kid, a teen, and adult, and had never experienced anything paranormal.....until May. Just about 40 feet from this sign, just off the roadway is where I saw her. She did not appear as an apparition, she looked like an actual person. Her blonde locks of hair moved in the wind, her soft delicate features of her face are burned into my memory. I was taken back when I saw her, and I actually thought she may have been hurt, and was wandering around after an accident of some kind. I could not understand why a girl that appeared to be very late teens or early twenties would be doing on a 55 degree day, standing in the middle of weeds in a white dress was doing out here. I asked if she was ok, and she smiled. I started for my camera, and as suddenly as she appeared, she was gone. The entire encounter lasted for about 10 total seconds. There is a reason that this girl is stuck at this location, and I am going to return with equipment, and recorders, and a friend that is "sensitive" and try to determine who she is, why she is there, and if we can help her. If anybody that reads this has a story or any information about anything that happened down there, please leave a comment, or message me.....I want to hear from you. Until then, Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
