Chesterton - Diana Of The Dunes - Around 1915, the area that is now the Dunes State Park in northern Indiana was mostly
uninhabited wilderness. The stories spread around the vicinity of Chesterton, Indiana that fishermen who were along the beach
at certain times of the day had been lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a naked woman swimming in the lake. The story spread
that a beautiful woman was living as a hermit along the beach and her notoriety grew to a point that many compared her to
the ancient Greek goddess Diana...hence the name of this legendary creature. In truth, her name was Alice Marble Gray and
she was the daughter of an influential couple from Chicago. Alice had traveled extensively and was cultured and educated.
She had worked in the city as an editorial secretary for a popular magazine, so what had made her take up the lonely life
of a recluse. Some have claimed that Alice came to the dunes because of a broken love affair but actually she left the city
life because her deteriorating eyesight had made her work impossible. She had sought refuge in the rough land that she had
enjoyed as a child. Alice moved into an abandoned fisherman's cottage on the beach and lived a life of peace, borrowing books
from the library, walking in the woods and of course, swimming naked in the chilly waters of Lake Michigan. In 1920, Alice
met a drifter named Paul Wilson and he moved into the cabin with her. He was an unemployed boat builder with a shaky past
but he seemed to make Alice happy and the two of them stayed together until 1922.... when tragedy struck. The badly burned
and beaten body of a man was found on the beach and police suspected that Wilson had a hand in the murder. He was questioned
but eventually let go. He and Alice moved to nearby Michigan City, Indiana, where they made a small living selling handmade
furniture. Alice bore her husband two daughters but he treated her terribly, often beating her severely. In 1925, Alice died
in her home, shortly after the birth of her second daughter. The official cause of death was said to be uremia poisoning...complicated
by repeated blows to her back and stomach. Wilson disappeared and later tuned up in a California prison, serving time for
auto theft. The fate of Alice's daughters is unknown. Legends of the dunes say that Alice still returns to the beach and the
wilderness that she loved so much. Over the years, many have claimed that they have seen the ghostly figure of a nude woman
running along the sand or disappearing into the water.
