Camped on Fox Island the summer of 2001. As you know, it is a very small campsite, only 1 tent. About 10am, sitting in my lawn chair reading a book, felt a presence behind me. As I was turning to see who/what was there, my eyes started from the ground up to see bare feet, legs of perhaps a young man, and then the bottom of shorts or swim trunks. The legs were dry, as were the swim trunks.
And then all was gone before I saw any more of him. Then I walked to each end of the island (which was a very short walk) to see if a boat, kayak, paddle board, or anyone swimming away or movement in the water. Absolutely nothing. Perhaps a spirit of a drowned person ? I did post this at the time when getting back home. Just thought I'd let you know of my experience....one I will never forget.
Thanks.
