At Jenny Jump State Forest, some say the ghost of Jenny lurks. Legend has it that she was 9 years old when she was playing on the cliffs, and the sudden appearance of a Native American nearby startled her. She called out to her father, who cried out in alarm, "Jump, Jenny, jump!" And Jenny did--unfortunately, to her death. Locals say her small, ghostly form can be seen in the vicinity of the cliffs.
