Looks like an outline of a sleeping person from old Ojibway folk tale.
Many old versions but one interpretation is that Nanna Bijou, the spirit of the deep water, was turned to stone when greed caused an enemy tribesman to reveal the location of the Ojibway silver mine to white traders.
The water from Lake Superior now floods the area around the mine shaft.
Legend has it that this is a curse brought on by the broken promise to keep the mine a secret among the Ojibway people.

Legend is a Native woman lost her love to Lake Superior then spent the rest of her life on the beach crying and calling out to him.
You can make the sand sing out reawakening her cries by rubbing some of it in your hand when you visit the beach
Shipwrecks , ghostly lights , and sea monsters too!
