Helen's Stone
History: A stone with a plaque commemorating the presentation of The Glen to Antioch College in 1929 in the name of Helen Birch Bartlett. Helen's dog is buried here. Inscription on the plaque reads:
"The Earth smells old and warm and mellow, and all things lie at peace.
Too serenely lie here under the white oak tree, and know the splendid flight
of hours all blue and gay, sun drenched and still."
by Helen Birch Bartlett
In memory of whom this glen was presented to Antioch College in 1929 by her father Hugh Taylor Birch.
Claims: The ghost of Helen is seen in the area, sitting on her stone, or walking nearby.
TCP Experience: One investigator described "a really bad feeling of terror", two investigators heard an audible, "Don't do it!", which was not captured on audio. "Red air" was visible to one investigator.
Our investigator who reported seeing "Red air" in the area took several photos, and upon review, one was found to actually have a visible red tint. The first photo is the no-filter original, and the second merely zooms in on the focus area. The third photo is an HDR edit. HDR, or High Dynamic Range, maximizes available light in the shot and in this case really makes the anomaly stand out by itself. The fourth and last is a higher saturation rate, which merely accentuates the hue of the anomaly. This was clearly visible at the time to our investigator, and we believe this photo, at bare minimum, helps bring confirmation to what they witnessed.
