Grey Cloud Island

I have gone to grey cloud island many times with friends, I’ve been going since I was 15 and I am currently 18. When driving to the cemetery I was not scared and did not believe in ghosts, we parked and got out and there was another group of teenage boys with us, we all walked to the entrance and as soon as we pulled this gate blocking people out, we heard a horrifying loud scream come from inside the cemetery and all ran. i’ve never seen teenage boys so scared in my life. the only person who didn’t hear it was my boyfriend, everybody else heard it. If it was someone pranking us or messing with us then everybody would have heard it, however the scream was loud and paranormal and he did not hear it.
That was 2 years ago, tonight I hiked to abandon buildings just outside of grey cloud island, it was eerie and we used flash lights. we got to this weird old open area that has a roof over it (massive gazebo) and I shined my flashlight to look at my sister and in the corner I saw a horrifying face, pure white with white eyes and a black open mouth, nobody else saw it and when i said what i saw, they said it was probably just a deer skull or an animal, but i could not stop thinking about the face i saw and how clear it was, so i came on here to share my story. I fully know that place is haunted and I try my best to not beleive in ghosts but grey cloud island has made me see too much.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been here but the last time I went, I swear, my friend and I didn’t turn around at all, but we got stuck in a loop on the same straight away road through grey cloud. It took us close to an hour to leave

I was there with my friends last weekend and something just wasn’t right. While driving over Dead Man’s Bridge we all had an “off” feeling wash over us like something wasn’t right. Probably no more then 100 feet after driving across my car spuddered out and wouldn’t start for minutes. In the dead of night driving away we heard a terrible shreak-we all did. This place is definitely eerie and haunted. We were to scared to goto the cemetery.

i was on the trail with my friend and his dad a long time ago and i can certanly say it was the creepiest nature walk i've ever been on.

i was walking on the trail and I started hearing drums, like the drums you would hear at a pow wow a well as some kind of chanting, ive also seen a little girl, but to me it looked like a native american girl standing in the woods beside me

if i didn't belive grey cloud island wasn't haunted before, i sure as hell do now??

when we went, the first thing we saw as soon as we turned on to grey cloud island rd was thick smoke and we kept driving and it looked like the end of the bridge was blocked off by logs, we saw a white pick up truck turn with a blinker and go through the logs without even knocking them over which made no sense, we made a u turn as quick as possible after seeing that and kept driving straight and we saw a feild FILLED with smoke/fog. and we drove slow and in the fog we saw tiny green flashing lights. when we were far away from grey cloud island we saw what appeared to be a little girl, it was a white figure and it was terrfying. be careful these spirits can and will follow you!

A few weeks ago my daughter and I were test driving a car from East Side Auto. I turned on to Grey Cloud Island Dr. S. and continued our test drive. I mentioned to my daughter, "What an odd place...it feels "heavy" here and weird", She agreed. Further down the road we pulled in to a driveway to turn around, then went back to the Auto shop. I got online today to check out Grey Cloud Island to see if it was actually an island and found out about all the mystery. I've lived in the Twin Cities my whole life and never heard of Grey Cloud Island and it's hauntings. Very cool Grey Cloud....Very Cool!

The island was named for my 4th great grandmother, Margaret Aird, aka Mahpiahawin or Grey Cloud Woman II. She was married to Hazen Mooers. That's why the lake on the island is called Mooers. My 5th great grandmother was Mahpiahotawin or Grey Cloud Woman. She married Scot fur traider James Aird. Grey Cloud's father was Mdewakanton Dakota Chief Wapahasha (Anglicized version Wabasha), aka Red Leaf. I experienced nothing but peace and tranquility there.

I am 29 years old been here my entire life the "Ghost truck" is the guys getting off work from the gravel pit they all drive white work trucks. There is no kkk camp at all it is a church camp. The cemetery is not haunted I have walked thru it at night alone many times. The green lantern is the buoys reflecting off the river or barge lights. There are more false rumors I dont care to explain, BUT! I do know one thing about this island Is true because I have seen it myself if you want to know text me at 763-401-3375 if your in the area I will show you
