Middle School Session: A Spooky Trip

   This week we have middle school session coming up. My co-guide this week is Zara, and we decided that if we ever guided together we would do a spooky-themed trip. Now we finally get to do it. Our plan for the trip consists of the following locations;
   Night One: Massacre Island. This island is the supposed location of a great massacre of voyageurs by the Dakota tribe. On the island, there is a giant cross marking the site of the massacre. The site of the cross is our campsite.
   Night Two: Little Triscuit. This site has had numerous reported sitings of a white figure in the woods. The last two sightings have both been by newer guides that do not know of the story.
   Night Three: Lily Island. Lily island does not have a set-in-stone sighting. However, guides will occasionally tell a story about a camper drowning there. The story we made followed this plot.
   In 1968, an all-female trip went around the lake. Going to islands with no names and exploring and naming them. On their last night, they stopped at the island that is now called Lily. After they finished cooking dinner they decided to go for a swim to wash off. While swimming their camper named Lily, quietly slipped under the water, none of the girls saw her go under and they assumed that she had just decided to go to bed early. The girls finished swimming and dried off. When they went into the tent Lily's sleeping bag had her clothes inside. This made it look like someone was in the sleeping bag and the group went to sleep with no knowledge of what happened. They woke up in the middle of the night to their sleeping bags all soaking wet; everyone except Lily's. Now to this day, guides and campers have seen a girl underneath the water as the pull up to the island. In the middle of the night, the spirit of Lily will crawl into girls sleeping bags in an attempt to get warm.
   Night Four: South Twin. This is the scariest location we have planned. South Twin has been the hotspot for W sightings. We won't tell the campers this during trail or possibly even after, but both Zara and I know why it is included in the spooky list. There are also two groups staying nearby and we have plans for them to come and scare our campers this night.
   Lastly, we have scary stories planned to tell and we will be bringing lots of popcorn to eat during story telling.
