Okay, so I went to Crawford Lake Conservation Area. It's a fun place with a big SPECIAL lake. The lake is 88 feet deep! Wow! Okay, so there once was a family named 'The Crawford Family'. This family owned the lake. So, one day in 1800, the father of the Crawford family went to the lake to carve out a peice of ice. Yes, it was winter. So he carved out peices used for electricity. I don't know how but that's what our tour person said. And so, one day after another he would do that. But one day, the father came out with horses to bring to the lake to help him carry the ice. But each time Mr. Crawford cut a tiny peice more, the ice would crack a bit more. The horses went CRAZY! The father finished cutting the ice, and he needed help bringing the horses off the ice because they were going crazy. So, Mr. Crawford went to get a worker to help. But when he came back, the horses were gone. Mr. Crawford thought they ran back onto ground level. But he didn't see the 'hoove' steps! But then he saw the big hole from where the horses were standing. The horses were DEAD! And legend has it that if you go there, the horses are STILL there, underwater, in the exact way they were from before! Legend has it, too, that you see glowing lights on the lake at night. Pretty scary, huh? It says that their spirits wait for Mr. Crawford to bring them back to land. I just got the shivers! So, just in case you don't know Crawford lake, look it up because there's only ONE where the horses lay. Have a nice time reading this! Bye!
Actually, they told us that he turned the wagon (which he carried wood in) into a sled. And he would cross back a nd forth getting wood as a profession. Then, one day the would was too heavy, so Mr. Crawford started carrying the wood and walking on the ice to the house to drop off the wood, and when he came back, the wagon and the horse were gone. In our version, he said that they were still alive, just frozen underwater staring up at anybody who crosses the lake.
