[Background] Kyle Foreman was born in Crestwood in the mid-1950s, during a time of post-WWII growth and prosperity. Despite the city’s booming economy, his early life was tough. His father left when he was just a year old, leaving his mother, Fran, to raise him alone. Working as a secretary for Oldtown’s local doctor, Fran struggled to keep the lights on and the bills paid, often relying on an outhouse when their utilities were cut. Yet, Kyle and his mother shared a close bond, facing their hardships together. In high school, Kyle’s life took a dramatic turn. He shot up to six feet tall, lost his baby fat, and suddenly became popular, leaving behind his close-knit childhood friends. Caught up in his new social circle, he started partying, doing drugs, and engaging in reckless behavior. Despite this, Kyle managed to graduate from Riverstone Academy, though he was no longer the same humble boy he once was. After graduation, Kyle worked at a minimart for three years, saving up for college. He was accepted into Crestwood University’s chemistry program, but before starting, his old friends convinced him to join them for one last night out. What began as a fun reunion ended in tragedy when a drunken drag race along Bayfront’s pier went horribly wrong. The car Kyle was in crashed into Lake Huron; while his friends escaped, Kyle, who was knocked unconscious, drowned. Now, his spirit roams Crestwood, haunted by the life he lost in a moment of recklessness.
