Haunted Summer Camps | The Ghost of Big Moose Lake, Johnny Sweetheart, and the Girl at Moon Lake

Send us Fan MailA third of summer camps in America have banned ghost stories. But the ghosts were already there — in the lake, on the shore, in the mist over the water — long before anyone invented a story to tell in the dark.In this episode, we're diving into three real hauntings at real camps, backed by documented deaths, named witnesses, and decades of consistent firsthand accounts.Big Moose Lake, New York: In 1906, a young woman named Grace Brown was murdered on the water by the man she trusted. She never left. For 120 years, employees and guests at Covewood Lodge have reported extinguished flashlights, a vaporous girl on the staircase, and a single wet footprint on the dock before sunrise. Every July 11th, the anniversary of her death, a scream carries across the lake.Camp Wandawega, Elkhorn, Wisconsin: Before it was a beloved historic summer camp, Wandawega was a speakeasy and brothel run by a madam named Orphan Annie. In 1942, a Chicago man known as Johnny Sweetheart committed murder, kidnapped a woman at gunpoint, and fled to a Wandawega cottage, where he died in a rocking chair with his own revolver in his hand. Decades of guests have seen him wandering the far shore of the lake in the mist, a bowler hat, a mournful expression, still searching for something he cannot find.Moon Lake, Utah: Nobody knows who she is. A small girl, around seven years old, soaking wet with blue lips, has been approaching lone campers and hikers along the shore of Moon Lake for decades. She asks for help. Then she vanishes. The details never change across unconnected witnesses spanning generations of summers.Plus, our Somebody Told Me segment features a Key West listener whose family has been visited by the Hat Man across three generations and two states — same posture, same hat, same red eyes in the dark.Do you have a spooky story that you’d like included in the You Two Scare Me Podcast? Check out our website at: www.youtwoscaremepodcast.com and go fill out the “Somebody Told Me…” form.
