Vermont is full of ghost stories and strange happenings, and Gifford Woods State Park is no exception. This State Park located at the base of Pico Peak has plenty of spots for camping, picnics, fishing along with a large number of hiking trails. We came across the following video on YouTube by LivingFree365 that had an unusual sighting and we wonder if there are any stories out there about it being haunted. Perhaps there was just a flash in the camera, but these folks think it may be a ghost of a long lost hiker. While it sure is a beautiful place, seeing this phenomenon in person would have us shaking in our hiking boots. Let’s take a look at this creepy spot in the woods of VT.
The Gifford Woods State Park is located on Rte. 100 (1/2 mi north of U.S. 4) in Killington.

And after a few minutes, it vanished as quickly as it appeared.

The Gifford Woods State Park is located on the east side of the Green Mountains in the northern part of the town of Killington. It includes a portion of the Appalachian Trail and an area of old growth forest that has been designated as a National Natural Landmark. It just may be the site of a friendly ghost, too!
