Did yous touch at all, you said you were playing with her but was there any physical contact?

Yes, quite a bit of it... It was a fast, clamorous game of tag, among a bunch of dancing adults. I recall her grabbing my arm with both her hands, popping out from the dancers.

"Your it!" Then she ran away.

Have you looked into the history of the place at all? See if maybe the little girl once lived/died there? If so itd be interesting to find out thanks

I wish I had a friend like that.
that girl is all on her own now.
I am so lonely being dead.

J - I am thinking it. In a way. But I need to be cool and easy... because they are friends of the family. I'm in my 50's now and we are talking about a time where family tragedy wasn't widely talked about.

And.

This is a family that has a hard time with kids playing with long lost relatives of the past. Not because of the obvious, but, (I think) because of the location. I have since found out - BUT - from a totally different direction (see end of my post).

The way I was raised it was expected... Example:

Grandpa's ghost is in the Sun Porch, Grandma! (Grandpa died when my Mom was 10)...

"That's okay." Grandma says. "Come get some Turkey."

My childhood - Very Irish American... we live with our dead. But, that is besides the point. I have never been coy with the fact I can feel ghosts in other posts.

This was a post where I didn't feel a thing, but, it also, it seems, to be my first experience with a ghost I wasn't related to. I was very young.

Now, I am going to bring it to a different place. Because. The area, in Minnesota, has a terrible reputation - the location in general.

This is a place where it is rumored a Wendigo is said to roam. The Native Americans warn of it in this place. This is a place that has been involved in a horrible kidnap and murder.. a place of darkness. I have been warned of staying away from parts of this place by my Dad (we hunted there) while growing up.

It is a place to tread lightly.
