Paradise Lake

Paradise Lake Is about 4 hours outside of the town, It has several trails that take you through the green forests of Oregon, these trails lead to the lake, Its a Nice mountain lake, that has Campsites and pinic areas. The towns residents love to come here not just in the Summer time but in the winter time as well. If the Ice is thick enough it can be some nice ice skating.

However over the course of time, there had been several Accidents here, And a few murders as well.

In 1920 a Family was camping near the lake shore in one of the campsites with their 13 year old daughter Suzie, Suzie had a habit of sleep walking, So one night she left her tent and walked into the lake not even waking up. She drowned, Its said that you can see a young girl in a white night gown coming out of the lake. She wonders around calling for her family. She walks by the tents and you can hear soft crying.

Another event that happened, was two couples were camping in one of the campsites near the lake, so they decided to go and skinny dipping the girls went in first. The men stayed on shore and watched as the girls were having some fun.

But at the same time, a paitent from the city had escaped the Phsytriatric hospital, and had been on the run for some time now, He stumbled on the two couples, the women were out of the lake by now, the excaped madman went into a rage He killed the two women and killed one of the men, How ever the other man was able to evade him long enough he got a few swings in but just as the madman was going to kill him the local sheriff's office arrived and shot the mad man. So late at night you can hear laughing and splashing in the lake and then you can hear running feet and screams, You can also hear what sounds like a maniac laughing, And goes around shaking the tents violently. A few times campers have been violently attacked.

But these stories do not scare away the tourists or the locals.
