Buck Hill - Round lake
 
The Legend...
 
Buck Hill - Ottawa Valley

About 2 hours from Ottawa by car,  (90 Minutes south of Pembroke), Buck Hill is located in the Ottawa Valley nearby to Algonquin Park. There are many reports of ‘spooklight’ activity (which we have captured on digital video), which is attributed by some to a ghost story.

The legend says that during the depression and a particularly harsh winter storm,  a logger returned to his home and family. He cautioned his wife and young daughter to remain indoors while he went out to fetch some firewood. Upon his return his wife told him that their pet dog had gotten out of the house and the girl had ran out in order to call him back and had not yet returned. The anxious father grabbed his lantern and began to search for his missing child. The family lived on Buck Hill road and the distraught parent searched up and down it to no avail. The young girl had simply vanished into the stormy night never to be seen again. As legend has it the logger who went mad with grief never gave up his search, and would comb the area nightly with his lantern until his death. Some locals in the area believe his search continues to this very day and refuse to go near this isolated, logging road.

At this time we have no corroborative historical facts that would support the ghost story. However, people have reported seeing balls of light, some at very close range at this location, including the Ghost Central Team. The ‘lights’ are either white, amber or green and approximately the size of a baseball. Occasionally these lights are bright enough to light up the forested area and will flare up as if increasing in size and luminosity before disappearing.

Geological History...
 

Alsever Lake (Centre) & Round Lake (Right):
Diameter: ~4 Km
Location: Algonquin Park, Ontario, Canada N 45° 41’ W 77° 59’ 

This area is well known for its legends of paranormal activity.

The answer to the unexplained happenings here may have a link to a meteor hit thousands of years ago...  Our research continues.

It is believed that the Alsever/Round Lakes combination, is a “crater like” structure that is very similar to Brent Crater not too far from here.  The Alsever and Round Lake combination is illustrated below.

A closer look at the image of the structure taken from the west shows the granite cliff of the center feature interfacing Alsever Lake. This implies that the center feature that divides the two lakes is granite. It is important to know the geology and what factors can combine to produce energy that may explain the phenomon that has been reported over that past 100 years.
