Mystery of World[/caption]In 1926, on the banks of a beautiful lake in West Virginia in Mercer County was open park called Amusement Park on Lake Shawnee. The land on which it was built in the XVIII century belonged to Shawnee and it is a burial place of the Indians.
On these lands 200 years ago as the tragic events that led to the horrible loss of children. On this tale, we will tell you about.
At the end of the XVIII century in County Mesrser white settlers began to arrive. Among them was the family of Clay (Clay), who settled there in 1775 and lived quietly until August 1783.
Head of the family Mitchell Clay one of the days in August 1783 with his three eldest sons went hunting. On the farm were his wife and children. The two youngest sons - Bartley and Ezekiel build a fence around the field, and his daughter to wash clothes in the river. Mrs. Clay was in the house with the youngest children. That's when unarmed children and attacked the Indians, who are likely in for a few days followed the family home Clay.
The first was killed Bartley. Indians removed from his scalp. One of the older daughters Tabitha seeing that the Indians want to kill her younger brother - Ezekiel, rushed to his aid. She managed to grab the knife out of the hands of the attacker, but he snatched it from her, and killed on the spot. Youngest daughter hid in the hut and saw the Indians go, taking with them her brother Ezekiel.
When Mrs. Clay realized that the Indians were gone, she dragged the bodies of their murdered children in the house, and then together with the surviving children ran to the nearest neighbors for help.
Neighbor quickly notified the entire community about the attack and they went in pursuit of the Indians to return the kidnapped Ezekiel. Just at that time the head of the family Mitchell Clay and his older sons returned from the hunt, they learned about the tragedy and went in search of his son and brother.
Only in the evening they were able to locate the Indians. However, an attack on their camp they started in the morning: two Indians were killed, from the back of which the brothers Clay flayed and made her belts for sharpening knife blades. The rest of the Indians managed to escape, taking with him abducted Ezekiel.
Later Kleyam managed to find the Indians abandoned camp, where they found burned at the stake body of his son and brother. Soon after, the family moved out of Clay County Mercer.
Amusement Park at Lake Shawnee in the early XX century, built for living close to the miners and their families. The park had a lot of attractions: the carousel, Ferris wheel and swing, as well as a swimming pool, a ballroom, and small eateries.
The current owner of the land on which the Lake Shawnee Amusement Park, claims that during its existence in the amusement park killed six children. Some locals say that sometimes there heard their laughter.
One girl was killed in the park, riding on the carousel. Her hit by a truck driver who was moving backwards and did not notice the hanging swing. Another child drowned in the pool, soon after the pool was filled with sand.
The first time amusement park was closed in 1966 until 1985. Then he found an enterprising businessman who decided to revive this place and earn it. Amusement Park at Lake Shawnee was reopened, but spent only three years. In 1988 it was closed permanently. The owner left there are some attractions that are on the earth and the Shawnee Indians to this day.
Currently, the park at Lake Shawnee come only lovers of mystery and mysticism, which draws a gloomy view of rusty swings, ferris wheel and carousel, as well as collapsing booth, which once sold tickets. More here love to go and see those who believe in ghosts and other worlds tourists.
