Forest Glen Seminary Investigation, August 2007Forest Glen Seminary Investigation. August 2007
It was a beautiful late summer evening, about 70 degrees, no wind to speak of, not too humid and a crescent moon that arose later as we went along. Our team was Michael, Kim, Dan, Aarik, Cliff and myself. We had cameras, video and two voice taping devices.
Forest Glen Seminary used to be an enchanting place. Used as a military base, hospital, girl’s school and retreat/resort over its long history, the architecture is/ was marvelous and intriguing. Many covered raised walkways connect several of the buildings, with neat circular windows, some made of beautiful stained glass, and arches. There was a grand, multi story ballroom, with two stories of balcony over looking the center of it. Several buildings with huge columns are/were impressive. The Pagoda building is interesting but out of place, in the style of architecture that permeates the property, someone’s intent on being different?
The grounds gently roll up and down depending on where the streams flow through the property. Several peaceful grottos are located around the land here. You can easily imagine the military men with their loved ones walking to these places to sit and chat or the girls from the school with an interesting book, curled up on the benches, a couple of which are still hidden away, taking an afternoon break alongside the babble of the rocky stream. At dusk it would have been very romantic.
More recent history I have heard personal tales that this place was the epitome of a young boys dream landscape. You could have battles off the huge arched stone bridge with about a 25 foot arched drop…or you could swing off a rope from it and be an Explorer of New Lands, (mothers would have gotten gray hair had they known!). The grottos were encampment areas, to plan further attacks… hidden from view or knowledge of anyone who walked the grounds;”The best place anywhere for the active and changing imaginations of the 7 to 12 yr olds”.

At one point, standing taking pictures at the Windmill, I decided to call on the spirits that are here ... there wasnt much activity going on, just a few here and there. I knew that there had to ba a lot more from the history of this place and the activity some others have experienced. So I lay down on the ground in front of the Windmill and called them out. The next picture shows that I was correct. It got pretty cold around the Windmill and several pictures show a lot of spirit activity. Then its gone with a remaining one or two.
