THE HISTORY OF THE HAUNTED WOODS MANY YEARS AGO, on the land that is now the haunted woods at Algonkian Regional Park, there was an elite boarding school for wealthy landownersÂ’ children. The school was so remote that sometimes days or weeks passed and no one from outside the school grounds visited. The only one with access to the outside world was the caretaker who traveled to neighboring towns for supplies and mail. Legend has it that the caretaker was known for his cruelty and took great pleasure in the terror he caused students who were in the wrong place at the wrong time. The children had talked to the headmaster about seeing the caretaker abuse and mutilate small animals but no one would listen. By road, the dormitory was a half mile walk from the school building; however, there was a shortcut - a path through the dark forest. Most of the students took the path even though they heard strange noises and suffered an eerie feeling of being watched. After the parents forced the headmaster to fire the evil caretaker, students began to disappear. 13 children vanished, before the school was closed. A few years later, on Halloween night, a stray dog uncovered the shallow grave of 13 children - each skeleton was missing a bone. Many people have speculated that the missing bones bind the ghosts of the children to the shallow graves in which they are buried. There was never enough evidence against the evil caretaker to charge him with a crime and he vanished after the discovery of the skeletons. But locals claim they have seen him in the woods, watching them as they travel the path. Sometimes, they hear the eerie laughter of children coming from the woods near where the bones were discovered. At night, the laughter turns into something else. Don't take our word for it. Take a walk through the Haunted Woods and find out for yourself. IF YOU DARE!
