| This is a second-person account from one of my dearest friends who is by no means a believer in ghosts....until her stay in McCormick's Creek State Park in late fall of 2001. She and her boyfriend were regular campers, and decided to get in one last trip before the park closed for winter. The made a routine weekend trip out of their stay, and since the park was nearly empty they had multiple sites to chose from, and chose one that backed up to a wooded area, but was still relatively close to the main road. (Forgive me, I don't know the exact site number!) At any rate, while they were settled in for the night, they started to hear footsteps coming from the wooded area. The steps were distinctly heel-to-toe and were not that of an animal, as they didn't have the right gait to be a four-legged creature. These steps would walk up to the head of the tent, walk around the side, and then stop at the base of the tent where the zipper was. At first, my friend dismissed this as her imagination, and feel back to sleep. But, later (about 2 hrs. or so), she her the steps again and squeezed her boyfriend's hand. At this point, she realized that he was awake too, and they could both hear the steps. Neither of them said a word, for fear that someone was trying to sneak up on them. This pattern continued throughout the night, about four times. What they thought was the strangest part of the footsteps, is how they would just stop at the base of the tent, but then they couldn't hear anything walking away. It was like someone, or something was just standing there, and then disappearing. They also said that there was a full moon that night, and that whatever this thing was, wasn't leaving any shadows as it walked around the tent. (They also explained that everything else was leaving shadows that was near the tent like trees, branches, leaves, etc.) When morning came, they quickly packed up their things (after no sleep), and left for good. Later when they were telling this story to friends, they were told that McCormick's Creek State Park had an Indian heritage, and that could have been an area with a meeting site, or graveyard, etc. Do you know if there is any truth to this? Have you ever heard of anything like this? What do you make of it? Thanks!
