If you visit Santa Teresa County Park, keep your eyes peeled for a small pond known locally as ‘Dottie’s Pond’. The area is said to be haunted by the spirit of a young woman known as Dottie who drowned in the pond. The exact circumstances surrounding Dottie’s death vary depending on who is telling the story and some versions even suggest that she drowned herself after hanging her parents in a nearby barn while others say that she was pulled under the water by some strange being. However Dottie met her untimely end, what everyone can agree on is that Dottie appears by the side of the pond on occasion, usually scaring the living daylights out of the visitors who see her!
There are several versions of the campfire story that involves the small pond in Santa Teresa Springs, but they all end the same way—a girl named Dottie is pulled under the water by a giant hand. Sometimes there is a sub-plot involving Dottie being angry at her parents and somehow mustering up the physical strength to hang them from the rafters in the nearby barn.
