Shortie Episode #5: Lake Shawnee Amusement Park

Melissa Stefanie

This week, Melissa tells the chilling story of a place that some people call “the world’s most haunted amusement park”, Lake Shawnee Amusement Park in West Virginia. Unknowingly built on an ancient indigenous burial site, it also was the scene of a horrific child massacre in the 1700’s, and the tragedies piled up from there. Approximately six more tragic deaths occurred at the park during its run in the mid 20th century before finally shutting down in 1967. Many paranormal enthusiasts flock to the defunct Lake Shawnee Amusement Park to experience the frequent paranormal happenings. Some believe it to be cursed, but the current owner of the now decayed and skeletal park thinks the spirits there just want to have fun at their favorite place! Happy West Virginia Day!
