Freaky stuff. I've got one good, as in not completely ridiculous, story from the camp I go to. I'll post it after dinner. And that is not saying that your stories are ridiculous, its a reference to the vast majority of other ghosts stories I've heard concerning the camp.

Is cool :) I wanna hear the stories...

I have one more but I have to write it all up. My uncle has a really freaky place but I have to brainstorm to remember all the things that have happened there.

I have to spend a week with you, Damalis, as I need to experience this myself. Me being a bona fide skeptic. :)

Here's an interesting article for you skeptics:

to be honest, I only know of two places you'd definitely experiance something. My Uncles house and the cemetary down the road from an relatives... All of these stories here have happened over a 60 year period in my family so that's why there's alot..

I am so there. :D

As per usual I'm a bit later than I said I would be. Here's the story:

The camp I'm talking about is John Island Camp (JIC). its on an island that the Sudbury, ON, YMCA owns. Coincidentally enough the island is called John Island. Its in the North Channel (so in Lake Huron, between Manitolin and the shore).

Anyway, the island used to be the site of an old timber mill and as any such mill there was a town surrounding it. The mill and town were eventually closed down/abandouned after a epidemic ran through the children, killing most of them. After that, I think in the same year, there was a fire which swept through and destroyed much of the town and the mill, resulting in the town being closed. When the camp was being built, a children's graveyard was found near what is now the Arts & Crafts cabin. Originally the A&C shed was to be ontop of the graveyard, but when they were building it they found a small metal medallion type thing that they used to bury right above the children. So they stopped digging, filled in the whole and move the planned site a few meters.

Anyway, this spring (May) one of the former YMCA Sudbury CEO's who spends most of the year (from May to October) at JIC and helps out, was walking around the island with two of his dogs (Raggs and Chopper). At the time he was the only person on the island, the rest of the staff had gone into Sudbury for the weekend to party and he was looking after the place. So as he's walking he sees this girl in a red sweater walking down the path from the boat docks to the bridge leading to the other part of the island (where the camp is located). She stops and talks to him and plays with the dogs, really getting along well with Raggs. There are lots of boats which stop in the cove right near the boat docks, so he just assumed she was off one of the boats and was temporarily seperated from her parents. After a while he hears a high-pitched whistle nd the girl rushes down the path back towards the boat docks (like sprinting down there). He kind of wonders about it, but doesn't think much of it and walks back down the path.

That night he hears the same whistle and Raggs (the dog she had really gotten along well with) ran off. He didn't care, Raggs has been going to JIC for years (minimum 9) and nows his way around it. As well we don't really have any big bear problems or anything.

The next morning he (and his dogs) are walking back down to the boat docks to meet the other counsellors who are coming back from Sudbury. On the way they pass the A&C cabin. As they pass the children graveyard Raggs starts digging a whole. When Gary gets him out Raggs pulls the same red sweater the girl was wearing out with him. Except the girl was never on that part of the island.

....How could a red sweater be in tact over that many years?

well as an old sweater it would be either wool or cotton and both made into yarn will last a long time, even in the dirt... Archeologists find it all the time. I mean, not whole intact sweaters but the fiber can withstand alot of damage other than fire pretty well.
