a story like an owl hoot in the solitary woods

Alyssa Zuliani was a camper and counselor in the late 70's and 80's (she calls herself "a silent lifer"). When she was in Pokey (her VC was "Patty Pokey" - and also Alyssa's counselor), she writes, "I remember you joining us for a bit on our overnight by the creek and telling us a ghost story - great memory! This is only one of the many great times I remember about FV."

Now a little more about the story, as she remembers it. This is very cool. How articulate and nuanced a memory is this?!

"All I can remember about the story at the moment is that it was scary, but in a lonely way, not a terrifying way. More like the hoot of an owl in the solitary woods, Eros and Psyche-like, than an axe-murderer type! Will try to remember more."
