Stephanie pov

i can not believe that my best friend Michelle is friend's with the band Kiss i was then snapped out of my thought's when Paul said so Stephanie Michelle said you know alot about the shawnee lake amusment park that has been shut down since 1966 yes i do Paul The land was home to the Shawnee Native American tribe until 1783 european pioneer Mitchell Clay attempted to settle the land with his family in 1783, resulting in a violent and brutal war between both Clay and the Shawnee tribe While Mitchell Clay was hunting one day, the Shawnee attacked his family; scalping and killing his youngest son, Bartley, immediatelyMitchell's daughter. and middle child, Tabitha, tried to save her younger brother but was knifed to death during the struggleMitchell's oldest son and oldest child, Ezekiel, was kidnapped and taken back to the Shawnee reservation where he was burned at the stake (No report on what happened to Mitchell's wife though it is presumed she was also killed in line with her two youngest children) When Mitchell returned home from hunting and found his family murdered, he sought the help of other pioneers (settlers) to seek vengeance.

Shortly after burying his children (and wife, presumably), Mitchell murdered and killed several of the Shawnee that had attacked his familyAs many as 3,000 Shawnee are believed to be buried in the grounds of the amusement park; many dead at the hands of Mitchell Clay while others died of illness and disease (not in relation to Mitchell Clay) the vengeful spirits, angered by the retribution of Mitchell Clay, and the disease or illness that took their own or their loved ones lives are said to haunt the grounds In the 1920s, a man named Conley T. Snidow purchased the land and turned it into an amusement park.Ride attractions included a Ferris wheel and a spinning chair swing ride; boating was also a welcomed activity on a larger pond while a smaller pond offered and acted as a swimming pool those who did not bring a swimsuit with them for swimming could rent a wool swimsuit for ten cents. As a treat for the park-goers, Snidow would filter spring water through sand in a large tank so that (by his slogan) people could "boat and swim in drinking water" crowds were drawn to the park every summer until the first of two mysterious deaths occurred woman dropped her son at the park to spend the day one morning and returned later to pick him up; however he was nowhere to be foundafter searching the grounds, the body of her young son (believed to be around 11 years old) was found floating in the swimming pool; dead from drowning after reportedly getting his arm caught in a drain pip Snidow quickly had the pool filled in with sand and no one ever spoke of the death again until another mysterious death occurred.

A young girl (believed to be between the age of 10 or 12) was riding the spinning swing ride when a delivery truck for one of the food stands backed into the pathway of the swing she was in; she was killed instantly lake Shawnee Amusement Park became reputed for its bloody past and its noted deaths; forcing it to close in 1966 the Ferris wheel and swings were deserted, rusting down and becoming overgrown with weeds until 1985 Gaylord White purchased the land in 1985, with the park remains included after a few repairs and improvements, he reopened the park and brought it back to its glory however, he was forced to close it in 1988 due to the evident presence of paranormal energy and activity. White reported seeing the young girl who was killed on the swing ride; wandering the park in a ruffled pink dress and covered in blood he also reported hearing the sounds of the Shawnee chants echoing through the trees surrounding the park grounds other reports include the sound of children laughing, a little girl's voice saying what some have thought were the words "play with me" along with the creaking of the chains attached to the swings and the swings seeming to move on their own concrete remains from the smaller pond that was used for swimming before being filled in are still visible along with the large tank that contained the sand where Snidow once filtered the water.
