The Story of the Harry
Bennett Lodge
Why does someone build a concrete cabin
with a mote, hidden concrete bunker, and a machine gun nest?
Below is a list of stories associated with Harry Bennett
lodge. It is a work in process - if you have another
story or can fill in some information please email me at

The
Bottomless Pit
On the back side of the lodge in the mote is an open water
area. The staff at the Boy Scout camp would fish here often
and noticed they could not see to the bottom. Wondering how
deep it was they attached a rope to a cinder block and lowered it
down. But they ran out of rope before finding the bottom.
The staff then went and found the longest rope the could - 500
feet. Using this rope they lowered the block back into the
abyss and still did not hit bottom!
Rumor has it that this was a place where Harry Bennett and his goons
would dispose of bodies. Tying a large weight to bodies and
tossing them in to never be seen again.
The Lady of
the Lake
The camp staff and scouts report seeing a Ghost the have name
The Lady of the Lake. She is described as beautiful white
wispy ghost that glides across the lake near the lodge.
She has also been seen on the mote. She appears to be
friendly.
It is believed that she is one of the innocent victims of Harry
Bennett. She was a local girl who worked at the lodge and
unfortunately saw something she should not have. To make
sure there was no witnesses she was killed and her body was put
into the lake. She still lives in the lake but comes out
at times.
The Red
Room
In the basement there is a small room off to the
side. This room has a door with a sturdy dead
bolt lock on it. Curiously, the floor of this
room and only this room is painted dark red.
Many believe that this is where those people that
were enemies of Ford Motor and Harry Bennett spent
their last living moments. There is an old
wooden chair in the room that victims were tied
to. Harry and his goons would shoot them in
head while tied to the chair. The floor was
painted red to make it easier to clean up the mess
and not leave behind any noticeable blood
stains. The floor and chair both appear
to heavy staining.
Many People
went Missing at Lost Lake
Harry Bennett and his goons would dispose of some of their victims
in the lake. Many Boy Scouts have noticed that the water is
very clear yet rose colored. It is believed the water is
colored light red from all the people who died and bled out in the
lake.
