Dead Campers?

- Submitted by John Ford




I was working at Comer Scout Reservation this past summer up in Mentone Alabama. Me and a few other Staff members were standing in the Staff area talking. Me, and a friend looked up, and saw a “person” standing behind a tree near a tent. At first we thought it was a Camper who had snuck into the Staff Area. We heard something in the woods and began to yell: “Hey! Come out, we know you’re there!”, and “We’ll get the Camp Director out here!”. After 5 minutes we stopped yelling, and listened. We heard rustling in the woods…STILL! So after some arguing, me and 4 other staff members went into the woods to look around. We got about half way into the woody area and saw the “person”. It was dressed in casual clothes…it looked like jeans and a t-shirt. When we went to go get the “person” it dissapeared! Turns out 2 people were murdered at Desoto State Park 2 years ago. I’m sure it was the ghost of one of the murdered campers.
