Just went last night. Really creepy and felt like we were being watched the whole time but didn’t hear anything at first. As we were getting ready to leave, my sister said, “we didn’t hear anything here.” As soon as she said that we heard a female scream from down the hill. So scary!! It was late and there aren’t really houses even around there it was wild and I will never forget it.
