You can see a lot of things in any part of Grundy while walking in the woods at night. There is enough there that you certainly shouldn't be walking in any part of the woods up there at night. Any midnight stroll could end with you face to face with a drunk, a geeker, some girl cheating on her significant other (be it that USUALLY at least happens in the backseat of some parked car sitting out in the middle of nowhere or at best a parts store or Piggly Wiggly parking lot), or in a worse case scenario face to barrel with someone because you stumbled upon their meth lab or pot patch. Still, I've heard stories of something else you could run into in the woods of Palmer if the setting is right. I won't call him human because "he" certainly doesn't sound human, but apparently there is a "Wise Old Man" who haunts (for lack of a better term) the woods of the Palmer area. IF true you probably shouldn't want no part of this "man" anyway, but if you insist upon it apparently this is the rules..
* You MUST wait until a full moon and the full moon has to be visible
* You also MUST go alone
* It has to be midnight
* You MUST go into the woods in any wooded part of Palmer (Meaning parking your truck at the Palmer Market or ball field won't cut it)
* No flashlight, phone, candle, ect. At midnight you have to let the moon be your only light
Going by second and third hand information following these steps will result in your lonely dark midnight stroll being interrupted by an old man who will seemingly appear out of nowhere and greet you with a friendly "Howdy". If you say "Hello" or "Howdy" back or greet him in anyway you'd deem appropriate this old man of sorts will just walk on his way and vanish back into whatever dark abyss he came from. However, if you reply to his "Howdy" with "Are you the one with the answers?" this being will stop and then proceed to inform you that he is the ONE with the answers and you now get to ask TWO questions. He will of course answer these questions honestly so it's best not to ask any scary questions that might have answers that scare you and it is a must that you don't under any circumstances get wise with this man or do anything to make him think you are being cute with him or taking the whole thing as a joke. I've been told the results of this could be fatal.
From what I've heard people who follow the rules usually get through this odd ordeal without issue and most the time from what I hear they tend to ask dumb questions like "Does so and so like me?", "Will the football team win the state championship? (the answer is always no, so don't waste one on that), and "Where is the best place to fish" ect. Sadly, nobody thinks to ask the lotto numbers, the cure for cancer, or anything of value, but keep in mind this IS Palmer and Grundy people here in general we're dealing with. We also can't rule out the possibility that people who have ran into this "wise old man" just ran into a drunk in the dark who thinks he has all the answers.
Following the rules and at least being respectful to whatever this is, if true, seems to be the key. IF any of this tale is true then you have to wonder about anyone over the years that ever did vanish. Maybe they saw the old man and even worse, maybe they actually didn't follow the rules.
By the way, the new full moon is June 13th.
