What is the secret of the Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park?
Ten years ago, a little boy went missing in the Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park. Legend has it that he died and became the Ghost of Ontario. When fifteen-year-old Kylie learns of it, she vows to uncover the mystery, but things become extra interesting when she and her family meet an amnesic hermit, Ihaan, in the park.
Ihaan has no memories of his past. All he remembers is his life with Canada's wild animals. However, it changes when he meets Kylie. Suddenly, he is desperate to find his lost memories, so he joins Kylie and her family on their canoe trip, much to Kylie's mother's displeasure.
As the trip progresses, Kylie and her family learn new secrets about Ihaan and try to help him get home. Ihaan, though, is eager to stay in the provincial park after living alone there for a long time. When mysterious happenings begin, such as "Lucilla" and voices in the forest, Kylie begins to wonder... Is Ihaan the Ghost of Ontario himself?

|SHORT STORY VERSION · FEATURED|
Lost in the depths of Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park, Ranger Kate meets a mysterious hermit who may be connected to the decade-old legend of the Ghost of Ontario. ***
Ranger Kate wants only one thing: to see her son, whom she lost to a canoe accident ten years ago. The opportunity comes when she and her partner, Ranger Amelia, attend the 24-Hour Ghost of Ontario Challenge in the Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park. Legend has it that a ghost haunts it with his mysterious lullaby, "Lucilla," and the only way to connect with him is for two individuals to brave the lakes.
Ihaan never expected to find Ranger Kate on Red Squirrel Lake, which is said to be the birthplace of the ghost. He and his eagle friend, Ro, band together to win her trust, which is crucial for Ihaan's Guardian Trial. It's the only way for him to learn whether he is truly dead.
Fate turns to reality, and suddenly, the legend of the ghost is more real than Ihaan and Kate think. What will happen when the Spirit Animals come and try to interfere with their long-lost memories? Will Kate and Ihaan defeat them, or will they lose themselves to the hands of Ontario's Beast? ***
