The Louie Boys


A tale of lake folklore is the story of the Louie Boys on Green Bay of Bob's Lake in southeast Ontario, Canada. The story has it that the Louie boys, who are brothers, left home many, many years ago with their little sister. It was unclear as to why they left, abandoning their home and their farm. One day, the boys did return, however, without their little sister. She was never seen, nor heard from again. The brothers, always keeping to themselves, worked together at different local farms, but, only for very short stints. Two days. Then, they would disappear into the woods, only to return many months later without a word said to anyone. The farmers and townspeople grew suspicious of the Louie Boys. Their pattern of work and disappearance continued on for some time. No one really knew of their whereabouts. Not then. Not now. The Louie Boys are believed to be old men by now, maybe alive, maybe not, but, they are believed to be haunting the woods on Green Bay.
