The Drowning Ghost

The Drowning Ghost

In early 1999, I put out a call on my website for info from anyone who knew anything about Eileen Treacle. I figured I'd hear from Maryland locals who were up-to-date on the Eileen Treacle drowning—a well-known aspect of the Blair Witch legend—and maybe, if I was lucky, I'd hear from descendants of Eileen Treacle herself. I had no idea I'd get an e-mail from someone my age—someone who'd gone into the Black Hills and been forced to remain there for days—someone whose boyfriend had died there, and who had barely managed to make it out herself.

What really happened in those woods to Cecilia Northrup and her friends? Did they encounter the ghost of Eileen Treacle? Were supernatural powers responsible for the terrifying personality changes that endangered so many young lives? There are, as always, many possible answers. Which one is the truth?

I'm hoping someone out there will be able to help me figure that out when they read the case file I call THE DROWNING GHOST.
