Seven Bridges, Grant Park

Wisconsin · United States · Road

The instruction is to walk the paths at Grant Park during a full moon between half nine and midnight, and not to walk them alone.

Seven Bridges is a set of trails and crossings in Grant Park on the Milwaukee lakefront, and the local instructions for it are specific.

Walk the paths during a full moon, between half past nine and midnight. Do not walk alone.

What people describe seeing is coloured lights moving among the trees. Going further into the woods, the reports change to sound: what witnesses take for laughter, and screaming.

Stand still and be quiet, according to the accounts, and you hear footsteps in the woods coming toward you.

The park is public, wooded, deeply ravined and genuinely dark once you are off the main paths, and the stone arch at the entrance carries an inscription about entering with the spirit of nature. The warning about not going alone is worth taking on ordinary grounds.
