It's getting late in the season for summer camp Jeff. It's technically fall now.

That's true, Ray. It is fall. The kids are all back in school, but this was never a camp for children.

I mean, not that children weren't allowed here.

They just aren't the target market.

And unlike its earliest years, this camp is open in other seasons, too.

There's an iron side over the dirt road in front of us

that reads Camp Edna, which makes sense.

We're in the northernmost corner of Etna, Maine, right near Etna Pond.

Camp Etna is historic, and it's the perfect place to visit in October.

Now, why October?

Because Camp Etna is one of the oldest spiritualist camps

in the nation.

We've come here to try and talk to ghosts.

Hey, I'm just. ghosts. We're always on the hunt for ghost monsters, UFOs, true crime, and weird history.

That we are and most of our story leads come from you so thank you and please reach out to us any time through our website

where you can also find dates for my story tour, dates to see Ray's

band The Pub Kings, and links to everything else we have going on. We'll head

off to Ghost Camp right after a word from our sponsor. So I want to say right up front that I would imagine our friends at Camp Etna might get offended at the term

Ghost Camp. Why is that? Well because I'm sure they'd prefer the word Spirit.

Is there a difference between ghosts and spirit?

So I've been known to use the words interchangeably, but for spiritualists, a ghost might represent kind of like a residual haunting,

like a movie that plays over and over again. I mean the person was there but isn't there now.
