I have a YouTube channel called Exploring Revenants and we went here on 07/05/2022 and we got some pretty solid evidence that this place is truly haunted. But... we didn't get no bad/negative vibes from this place. The ups...

👍👍 Hidden gem in Forest Park. Trails are rarely crowded, and the ecological restoration has produced wonderful results. The wooded areas are full of native wildflowers in spring, and the savanna areas are full of native flowers in summer. Urban oasis of wildlife.
