Encounters on the Great Miami Trail
Speaker 1Hey everyone and welcome back to Paranormal Activities . There's a certain attraction of the woods that's always intrigued me . Venturing into nature offers an exciting , healthy and natural experience . As a kid , my neighborhood friends and I would frequently explore the local woods behind my house , utilizing an old , converted train tracks as our pathway , and also on this pathway was an old , abandoned train station that had all kinds of stuff inside of it . I wish I would have explored it more and maybe kept some stuff , but it was on private property and that would have been illegal , so I did not do that . But I did often rummage through that area , much to the dismay of the people who owned the property . But I digress . As I grew older , this same path became my preferred jogging route during my high school years , and currently I reside near the Great Miami Trail , which is where I have spent numerous hours running and this past year , mostly biking . However , as daylight succumbs to dusk , the atmosphere does change . So , like I said , the Great Miami River is where I frequent , riding my bike generally from the Franklin area to Dayton . If you guys are familiar with Dayton , the Caroline Park , I'll ride my bike from Franklin to Caroline Park and then back for a total of 28 miles . Both ways , that's together . Whatever that math is divided by two , that's one way . So before I get into my my particular story from this trail , let's hear some information and history of this historic trail .
Speaker 1The great miami river is a tributary of the ohio river that runs through southwestern ohio and indiana . The river is named after the Miami Native American people who lived in the area . The Miami River starts at Indian Lake in Logan County , ohio , and ends in the Ohio River just west of Cincinnati , ohio , and this is something I recently learned . I didn't know exactly where it started from . Indian Lake is not far from where I grew up and I've camped out there a couple of times , and the last time I camped out there would have been the summer of 2018 . Nothing happened , ghostly . I was out there with a bunch of my buddies right before I got married , but one of the nights I think the second night I was there I believe it was two nights I just had a really weird heavy feeling . While I was there , nothing haunted , but it was just creepy . I don't know why . And while I was there , nothing haunted , but it was just creepy . I don't know why . And it still stands out in my brain . So there is that Not really a ghost story , but I don't know . The river's weird .
Speaker 1The Gritmamey River is 170 miles long and it passes through the cities of Sydney , piqua , troy , dayton , middletown and Hamilton and Franklin , which is where I currently reside , and the river's main tributaries are the Mad , stillwater and Whitewater Rivers . And the Goodman River is the first national water trail in Ohio , as apparently we are home to the nation's largest paved trail network and I believe the trail is right around 90 miles long . I had that written down and now it's gone . So the river itself is 170 miles long , but the trail that I'm referring to runs from , I believe , hamilton through picua and then I believe it's kind of parts off and then there's a smaller part of the trail in sydney , if I remember correctly . But I've never made it that far yet . I've only gone from south to north , like I mentioned , franklin to caroline park and dayton and back .
Speaker 1So I did do some research on this river , trying to find other ghost stories , I would assume being how old this river is and the history behind it and how often people use it for biking , walking , running , whatever they're doing out there fishing I see a lot of fishermen out there . I would assume there would be other stories , but I had a hard time finding them . There is some stories from down in Hamilton , but not really stories as just history of a town down there , but nothing really to do with this trail . There is a ghost town just north of Dayton that the river or the trail runs through , but , again , really no ghost stories about that , just the history of it there . And as this is a paranormal podcast , I was a little disappointed in that . But the reason that I am doing this episode is because I had an experience there not that long ago . It may be nothing I want you guys to decide . Decide as it probably is nothing , but it was weird to me and it just got weirder as the next day happened . So here is my experience of the Great Miami Trail , so just before .
Speaker 1So if you're familiar with West Carrollton , the trail does go through West Carrollton and in West Carrollton there is a dam that the trail goes by and I often like to stop by and hang out by the dam . Fishermen use it a lot and it's a , you know there's a parking lot there , so it is more of a populated area on the trail . Basically Franklin is populated , and then that goes to Miamisburg , which is also populated with a parking lot , and then from Miamisburg to West Carrollton , in the middle you don't get a lot of walkers or a lot of runners because it is a long way from parking lot to parking lot . So I'll see a lot of bikers in that area but not a lot of runners or walkers . So just before the West Carrollton Dam there is a path with some houses on it as well . So you're kind of you go by a cemetery and then it's kind of a long stretch . There's a park and then you go by a farm and then from the farm to the dam it's just woods and then you come out and then there's a little airport there .
Speaker 1So as I turned the corner that goes towards the West Carrollton dam , I see a girl in a long yellow sundress with long black hair . It was a little bit colder out this day . I've got into cold weather riding soon . I bought all the gear and stuff so you know I can ride in basically zero degree temperatures if I so choose , which I did once and it was great . Uh , this wasn't that cold of the day , it was a little bit warmer , but still it was late fall , early winter , and I thought it was odd to see a girl in a yellow sundress walking this trail , especially at this spot , because it wasn't super close to a parking lot . So I'm not sure you know where she would have started from , probably the dam . I guess Maybe she's parked at the dam and then walked down and then came back , but we'll get to that .
Speaker 1So as I go across this , I try to make this corner and I see this , this woman in a long yellow sundress with long black hair . I try to make this corner and I see this woman in a long yellow sundress with long black hair . She is standing sideways on the trail , looking west towards where the houses are . So as I turn this corner , she is not walking , she is standing and looking west , which would have been looking to my left . As I approach on my bike , she turns and looks at me . I was a little bit far away and I wasn't wearing my glasses . To be fair , I'm wearing sunglasses , which are not prescription , but as I saw her look at me , it was just a blur . I didn't see facial distinctions and usually I feel like at this distance I would still see a face , but in my point of view . I just saw a blank spot where her normal face would be .
Speaker 1She then slowly turned and began walking forward , now with her back towards me . So I went , so I , you know , I was like that's kind of odd . And as I went to pass her I noticed her ankles were pasty white and she wasn't carrying anything . Generally if you're walking on the trail you would have if you don't have pockets , which is some dress , I don't think . Did you know we would see phone , water , whatever ? Uh , but she was carrying nothing and did not appear to have any pockets . But again , I didn't examine her dress , I guess I attempted to casually glance at her as I passed to see her face , but her hair was long and covered as her as I passed her side . So I couldn't really get a good look and I didn't want to like turn all the way around and make it awkward .
Speaker 1So as I got towards the dam there was now a street where I slowed down and just make sure there's no cars coming . It's a pretty low trafficked area as it's just a city building there , so really you don't get any . You know big , big cars coming through there . But I stopped there and thought this would be a good time to turn around to see if she's still there . It's a pretty long distance I'm not sure how many yards or whatever but it's a pretty long distance from where I saw her to where the street is , but it's a straight shot . So I turned around , just to kind of , because I was still feeling kind of uneasy about her presence . So I turned around and , just like in the movies , she was not there . Even if she turned around and walked towards the curve where I first approached her , I don't think there would have been enough time for her to get there unless she ran really , really fast , cause I bike pretty quickly .
Speaker 1So I finished the ride , I went to our usually go and I turned back and came back around and I did not see her on my way back and just uh , a note it was 12.53 pm when I stopped and turned back around to look at her . So it wasn't at night , it wasn't at dusk , it was in the middle of the day , sun was out , it was a little bit colder outside . She was wearing a yellow sundress , I did not see her face and she appeared to have disappeared , if that makes sense . So that left me with an uneasy feeling . So I was like you know what ? I'm gonna go out there again tomorrow which I did and bring my voice recorder and then stop at this area where I saw her and just , you know , do a quick little , you know maybe ghost , ghost hunt and see if I pick up anything .
Speaker 1So I geared up , went out the next day at the same time , and I brought the voice recorder , and I was on my way to that location which that spot is about seven miles away from where I start is , randomly , my bike , my right bike pedal , broke . A metal bolt inside of it went right through the plastic and it just basically fucked up my whole pedal . And at the same time , not only did my pedal break , a bunch of screws were super loose on my gears , causing my gears not to work properly . So I was using a lot of effort just to pedal a little bit now on a broken pedal . So at the same time , my gears got jacked up and my right pedal broke , which I didn't even think was a thing , nor has it ever happened to me in the past . So with all of that happening , I was forced to turn around and slowly and carefully ride back to my car and it took me a very long time to get there for my usual , for my usual thing , and that's it . I never I have since gone back out . I fixed my bike , got new pedals , tightened the gears and made sure that they continue to stay tightened , and that's it .
Speaker 1I've never seen that that person again . I generally do go out around the same time every day when I have the opportunity to , and I will see a lot of the same people . I'm out there because everybody has their routines . I've never seen this person again and I still get a weird eerie feeling when I go through that area , which should be fair . I've gotten that feeling before that , uh , in this particular area it's past a cemetery , before the dam , it's just a wooded area . You just see trees on both sides and it's just , uh , it's a darker area . I mean obviously because there's trees there , so it's literally darker , but also it just feels a little bit heavy there , for whatever reason . Um , one time I was out there on a zero degree day and I did see a falcon just hanging out in that same area on a tree . He was on a super low branch . I just kind of rode under him and he stared at me as I stared at him and I thought that was kind of cool and it was in the same area .
Speaker 1So I don't know , you guys tell me , was it just a girl walking ? And I'm just making shit up and exaggerating it and maybe she'll hear this episode and be like bro , that was me . What are you talking about ? Or is it possible , you know , maybe there is something going on in this trail and I have never seen a solidified ghost , I guess I should say . Usually the things that I have seen I've been very stereotypical . You can see through them . It's's hard to distinguish shadow people , that kind of stuff . So I've never have thought that I've seen a full apparition , if that makes sense . But maybe this time I did . So that's all I have
