Animals Native to Algonquin Park
Brenda L. Murray March 7, 2013

There are 14 different mammals, insects and birds native to Algonquin Park mentioned in The Haunting of M.E. Did you know that the black bear population in Algonquin Park is thought to be around 2,000 (about one for every three square kilometres)? I would like to thank the park naturalists on staff at Algonquin Park for their assistance identifying mushroom species and confirming information about the animals and the plant species in The Haunting of M.E.

Mystery in Algonquin Park
Brenda L. Murray December 2012
As Mary Elizabeth wanders the savage woods of Algonquin Park she goes over in her mind everything she ever learned about survival in the woods and Algonquin Park in particular. She thinks about this painting, which was painted in Algonquin Park, and about the mystery surrounding its painter.
​
Do you know the name of this painting and who painted it?

Original Hand-written Outline
​
This is a photo of the original outline that I wrote long hand by the light of a lantern on a few scraps of paper at our off-grid property near Algonquin Park. With no electricity, on the edge of a black lake and surrounded by Jack Pines I didn't have to think too hard to imagine what it would be like to be lost in the woods. This story was inspired in part by the still unsolved mystery surrounding the disappearance of Canada's most famous painter in 1917 in Algonquin Park. Also during the summer that I wrote this story the newspapers were filled with news of a young woman who had gone missing in a provincial park nearby.
