The cabin at Lake George

Maine · USA · House

Four children were walking in the woods near Skowhegan, Maine when they came on an abandoned cabin. The windows were set high and were fogged over.

Two of them lifted the smallest child up to get a look at what was inside.

What is claimed is that a force of some kind is present in the cabins of this camp.

The structure of the account is worth noticing, because it is the classic shape of a story told among children: a group, a dare, a smaller child sent to look, and a discovery. Whether or not anything was in the cabin, the way it is remembered has been shaped by every retelling since.

Abandoned cabins around Maine lakes are common. Camps close, families stop coming, and the buildings stand in the woods for decades with the windows going opaque.

The land is private in places.
