The Blue Specter at Camp
by Devin

I am just a kid, but I have a story to tell. A lot of people don't believe me when I say this, but when I was younger either the summer of 1999 or 2000, I can't remember how old I was, but I am 15 now, and what I saw in that small town in Quebec, Canada changed my life forever!

I was at summer camp, and the whole group of us were camping over night at an old camp with cabins and such. My friend and I were walking just outside of the circle of cabins... it was a pretty bright night with all the stars shining and the moon was well lit. There was a campfire going, and in one of the big cabins there was a party going on with music and so on.

We were walking, and we both got a really weird feeling, as if we were being watched. We both turned toward the sea... we saw a blue figure, very tall - about 7 feet - walking through the trees. It made no sound at all. It was a bright blue and glowing figure walking through the forest. It was emitting a shimmery aura, and my friend and I both became very frightened. Whatever it was (possibly a cryptid like a wendigo, or something... I'm not quite sure); at the time we thought it was a ghost because it was said that the old camp was haunted.

We shouted at whatever that thing was and we were asking it what it was. We got no reply, of course, but we expected one. We stared as it walked away and out of our vision; we didn't dare follow it. We then ran back to the group of people at the camp fire, screaming and describing what we saw. Another friend of mine claimed he was watching it from a distance not far from were we were and was just as frightened as I was. We told the camp supervisors and they didn't really believe us, no matter how persistent we were. We told our story to many kids in the camp, getting mixed replies and thoughts about what it was.

To this day, I have no idea of what it was, but I have never lost interest in the paranormal and one day hope to find out what that thing was and possibly see it again.
