One Park, Three Curses //

In the 1960s, three children died at Lake Shawnee Amusement Park in West Virginia. Way before it was a park, that very site was the homestead of the first white settlers in Mercer County, WV, where three settler children were killed. And way before it was a homestead, it was the site of the ancient burial ground of 3,000 Shawnee children, for the trifecta. Oh hell yeah it’s haunted.
