Years ago when I was in middle school, our class was lucky enough to take a trip to Rock Eagle in Eatonville, GA a large nature retreat center. It gets its name from the Eagle structure at the top of a hill believed to have been made by Native Americans upto 2,000 years ago. As with any type of retreat a good part of our trip involved nature activities: trust exercises, tugs of war, storytelling outdoors, and hikes (daytime and nighttime).
One fine evening we trekked up to see the Rock Eagle structure itself. We were a large group, and while it was very dark it wasn't too scary. The group consisted of probably about 40 people. I was somewhere in the middle of the group though separated from the first and second chunks of people. I was walking with a classmate to my right.
I could feel the warmth of another person as we proceeded wordlessly. I saw through my periphery, a boy my age holding a knapsack on a stick. Stunned, I turned to my right and there was nothing there.
It was my first and only encounter with what I think was a ghost.

A boy with a knap sack on a stick? There is an old school close by there where my father attended unti 7th grade back in the 30s, he lived in that area for many years with his family, the last time I visited, the school was still there, could be related to what you saw.
I just saw this comment from a long while back. Thank you for sharing that. I wasn't aware there was a school nearby actually.
I wonder if anyone else has experienced something similar to me.
I went to Rock Eagle on a class field trip back in 96. I remember hearing of a story where some time before someone drowned in the lake and would come around to the cabins. I was too scared to really listen to the story so i dismissed it. The next morning when we were leaving the cabin there was a wet circle on the porch in front of a window. No other places were wet and there was no trail of water like someone had placed it there. We looked to the roof overhang to see if water dripped but it too looked dry. Creeped me out! I think i did hear them tell a story about the boy with a stick as well...
I am wondering if cabin 13 is haunted because people said that a girl died at cabin 13
I remember going into the old cinder block church on the Rock Eagle campgrounds, it was an old building,and had an organ and a piano. I was in there at about nine at night with five others, we were preteens at the time, this happened about the summer of 2013. We were just looking around,when the organ went off on some low key, constant and loud. Scared the hell out of us. No one was within 6ft of the organ, the sound just continued, indicating that a pedal had to be pressed to maintain a constant note. But I swear to you no one was there. We all looked at each other and booked it out of there. Didn't go in for service later that week during my trip. Wish I had investigated more. I had heard the place was haunted before, cause there was rumor the native chief's home was in the same place. I'm.
I was there when I was in school and I'm not sure what it could have been but it was something that looked liked a very tall blonde colored cat jumped in this tree and once we shined the lights in it we couldn't find it anywhere and also at lunch time it was raining very hard a lot of us were in the building about to eat lunch it was a guy in a long black jacket walked to the edge of the building and I don't know where he went after that not saying its haunted but strange things happen there
I went in the 5th grade, I think in 2006 which funnily enough is when this post was made. There was a story of the church there, where when it was being built, someone lost their hand and it fell into the foundation and no one found it. The main one was about the cabin we were staying in. It wasn't cabin 13, none of us were in there and we also thought that one was haunted, but maybe like 17 or something. On the way there on the bus there was another kid that was talking about how someone shot themselves in our cabin we were assigned. We all dismissed it but when we went in there was a giant round stain on the carpet we all assumed was blood. Also remember the story of the girl who drowned in the lake but doesn't every camp have one of those lol? The story with cabin 13 we heard was a kid went for a swim and was drowning. The pulled him out and took him back to the cabin and attempted CPR. He eventually died and at midnight (OoOoO) is when you can see the wet spot on the bed he died on
i went there. at the pool my priceapal said that a group of boys came to the pool at
midnight when the pool was closed. they saw a light but one of the boys was still in
the pool the others ran leaving the boy to drown .he did. and the cabin he stayed in had a water stain on the concrete in front of the cabin.and wet foot prints walk around the camp at night.
