That time of year is coming again...when we trudge off to local state parks to enjoy a respite from the summer heat.
State Parks can be great places for adventures. They have places to walk. They often have camping or picnicking spots. And, they sometimes have swimming holes.
Some of them might be great places to find ghosts.
Ghosts?
That's right. According to local lore (sources below), there are several state parks in Massachusetts that are supposedly haunted.
Dracut State Forest (supposedly is the home of a Native American ghost and ghost children)
Harold Park State Park (there is a claim that there are phantom footsteps in this park)
Maudslay State Park (many sites suggest this is haunted and ghosts can be seen here, including the ghost of a murdered family)
October Mountain State Forest (is said to be the home of ghosts, as well as a potential Bigfoot).
Check out these sources to learn more.
