The old scout camp

Illinois · USA · Road

This site near Georgetown, Illinois was a scout camp. It closed and is now a nature reserve.

The account is first hand, written by a woman about her husband. He went out there deer hunting one autumn and came home frightened, and said he would not go back.

What he described was voices, drums, something that sounded like pounding on wood, and screaming.

The writer knows the place well herself and has spent a great deal of time in it.

A hunter is a good witness for a wood. He goes out before dawn, sits still for hours, and spends the whole time listening for animals, which means he has a working knowledge of what those woods normally sound like. Coming back and refusing to return is a strong statement from somebody in that position.

The reserve is public land.
