The Lake Shawnee Amusement Park in Rock, West Virginia, is widely considered one of the most haunted places in the world due to a history of violence and tragic deaths occurring on what is also believed to be a Native American burial ground. Visitors and paranormal investigators report encountering the spirits of those who died there, including the ghost of a little girl near the swings. In the 1980s, during excavation work, archaeologists discovered the remains of numerous Native Americans, including many children. Some believe the land is cursed due to the disturbance of these burial grounds. In the 18th century, the site was also the scene of a brutal massacre where English settler Mitchell Clay's children were killed by Shawnee warriors. During the park's operation from the 1920s to the 1960s, at least six visitors died in accidents. A young girl named Emiline Shrader was killed on the circular swings when a delivery truck backed into her. A young boy drowned in the park's swimming pond. Other reports claim twin boys died falling from the Ferris wheel. Visitors frequently report hearing the disembodied laughter of children and seeing the apparitions of a little girl in a pink dress and a young boy. The circular swing set, where Emiline was killed, is one of the most active sites. Many people claim to have seen the swings move on their own, even on calm, windless days. Some have left dolls and toys at the site as offerings. Guests have heard Native American chanting, phantom footsteps, and felt cold spots or a sense of being watched, particularly around the rides and former swimming pool area. A pinwheel near the ticket booth has been seen spinning on its own. Witnesses also claim to have seen objects move by unseen forces, and some have been physically touched. Ghost hunters and paranormal experts have recorded electronic voice phenomena (EVP) and captured photos of shadowy figures and apparitions.
