In 2011, Nick Babcock took a camping trip to Jubilee State Park with his son, Jimmy. After building camp near the creek, they took an evening hike past the sunflower field and into the woods where they came upon a barn that stood for 82 years and might stand for 82 more.
“We’re not going in there… are we, dad?”
Nick felt the darkness inside too, but kept a strong face for his son. A swamp white oak had grown through the barn’s east wall, allowing a peek inside. The light coming through the branch-made opening was not welcome within. Jimmy flashed-back to the year before, when Nick told Jimmy the tale of Elly Hibbins, the young woman who ran away from home to live in the sunflower field.
“Dad, what if Elly Hibbins is inside.”
