The final location of the cache is in George Haines Memorial Park in Barrington, which is open sunrise to sunset. The coordinates given are for parking. Cache holds a log and pencil, and small trade items if you choose.

In addition, you must say in your log if you believe in ghosts or not. Have these photos been enough for you? Or are you still a skeptic?

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.

Note:I am saddened to report that picture A has now been discredited as being a real photo. The illusion was created as a result of faulty film. Despite this, I am leaving it in the puzzle since it's still pretty creepy looking!
