The Swings Still Move: Lake Shawnee's Cursed Playground

Show Notes

Lake Shawnee Amusement Park opened in 1926 in rural West Virginia. It closed in 1966 after multiple children died in accidents on the rides. But the land's dark history stretches back to 1783 and an estimated 3,000 Indigenous burials beneath the soil. Today, visitors report seeing ghost children on swings that move when there's no wind.
