She appears in broad daylight, and you might see her while you're walking through the woods around the lake, or even sitting on the banks, fishing. The little girl will come up to you, sobbing and asking for your help. She appears to be around seven years old.
She's shivering, and her lips are blue from cold. Of course you want to help her, so you reach out take her hand...and she vanishes right in front of you. If you've been drinking a few beers while fishing, you might think maybe you've had a few too many, but you should know that you're not the first to witness this ghost. She's been appearing to campers and hikers for years, each time, soaking wet and shivering, and each time disappearing into thin air, right in broad daylight.
If you've ever visited one of Utah's lakes, then you know how sound travels across the water. While you're walking around near the lake during the day, you might hear the sobs of a child, or loud splashing as if something has fallen in the lake. When you try to locate where the sounds are coming from, you'll be unsuccessful.
The sunsets here are stunning, so enjoy them before you settle into your tent for the night. You're not likely to get much sleep here.
You'll bolt upright and search for your headlamp, but when you step outside, you'll see nothing. But a few moments after you settle back into the tent...more screams, accompanied by the sound of splashing in the water nearby. If you walk down to the lake, all will appear calm in the moonlight. Later, you might hear footsteps running right across your campsite.
It's said that the young girl that you've seen and heard drowned in the lake years ago, and haunts it today. While some campers never hear or see anything unusual at Moon Lake, others report the same stories.
For an even bigger impact, tell this story around the campfire while you’re staying at Moon Lake! Whether it’s haunted or not, the area is absolutely gorgeous. Check out this video posted by Katie Schultz on YouTube to see some photos of the resort there:
