Exploring Lake Shawnee: America’s Most Haunted Abandoned Amusement Park

All right, guys. Today's video we're at Lake Shaune. This place is absolutely insane. At the entrance, you're greeted with a crazy looking clown. Got some leftovers here. All right, the first spot we're going to stop at is a haunted house they have on the grounds. I'm not sure how old this haunted house is. Doesn't look too old, but still pretty cool. We'll check it out. And yeah, it's very bright, guys. Sorry about that. But should be a little darker in here. So, this is the haunted house. I just hope there's nobody in here waiting for me to jump out. It's mostly tarps. The Bates Motel. Haunted West Virginia. Oh no. Okay, I'm not crawling through that. Pretty cool. Think we do have to go through this tunnel. Wasn't [Applause] so bad. Another stuffed animal. Murder. Interesting. This is very like messy. Oh, okay. This is pretty creepy in here. just married. [Music] This is crazy. Oh, clowns are sick. [Applause] Whoa. I mean, not that creepy, but I guess at night it would be, especially with people yelling at you. This looks like it might be the end. Yep. Looks like there's more over here. Oh, it's old toilet. This is cool. It's like a school bus over there. How do we get into this school bus? Bye. Watch out. >> We at the North Pole. I don't know if the North Pole is very creepy. Oh. Okay. That's kind of creepy. All the children's toys up here, too. Wonder that this thing keeps moving up here. All right, I think we're almost done with this. I'm not sure if I go here or up here. This one doesn't want to open. Yeah, I don't think I'm going the right way in this place, but it's creepy. This guy's pretty cool. Yeah, guys, I didn't know all this was at Lake Shaunie. It's pretty cool. Definitely different. We're going to follow Rachel through this last pit. All it is is just freaking pallets and blankets. And there's a carpenter be Oh, we're back where we started. Okay. Next to this house, we have a trailer. I don't think they use this for the haunted house. Um, yeah, this is pretty destroyed. Don't think I would be able to walk through here without falling to the floor. old TVs. Well, that's that. Here's the front. This is creepy as hell. This is definitely some hills have eyes kind of [ __ ] So, here's the RV that that man on uh I think Net Geo stayed in for like 40 days. It's just full of lighting. Pretty cool. So, this is the old barn area, and this is actually for a movie that's coming out, and they're going to be filming here for the next few days. They're supposed to cover this whole wall with like the old boards and stuff. Yeah, it's going to film a movie here. Uh, I don't not sure what it's called. I think it's like cryptic. But yeah, be a new movie here. So, we're check out the old bus. This bus was it belonged to the caries at one point and now here forever, but this is a carne bus. I wonder if people still sleep in here cuz I know they have overnight tours. Ghostbusters. Perfect for this spot. There are reports of many ghosts here. I don't know if I believe in that, but if you guys do, you can look into it. I will tell you some of the actual history here as we go through the park. Rachel's taking a picture of this bus. It's actually really cool. Man, I love the old dusty bus. Old slide in here. So, there are reports of I think three kids that died in this park. Two drowned in this lake and one we'll I'll tell you about over there by the ferris wheel. So people come and leave toys for the kids that died. There's like stuffed animals everywhere that we'll see. And look at all these. These are all offerings for the kids. There's a reason there is a bunch at this toll booth is cuz this is where a lot of the sightings are. Again, I don't believe in this stuff, but if you do, go ahead and look some of it up. So, the park did open in 1926 and it was closed in 1966 and then the current owners bought it in 1985, reopened it for like 3 years and then ran out of money, had to close it. They sold much of the attractions. There was a roller coaster right here they sold and that's pretty much it. That guy's driving backwards. It's kind of wild. But but yeah, so they sold that. They're trying to get money back for the place, but they cut the land. They were going to build town houses here, but they couldn't sell the ferris wheel or the swings. So therefore, they didn't have enough money to do that. So now they just do tours. If you ever want to do a tour here, you can just go on their website and it's like a small fee, but it's definitely worth it. Yeah. Two kids died in this lake. One was on a canoe and drowned and one got caught up in like a sewer pipe, I think, and died. They say they still that car bass. They say they still see the one kid up at the front gate and that's why they leave stuffed animals up there. So, if you ever played the game Fallout 76, this sign and this whole part is all in the game. That's pretty cool. I wonder if they'll film some of the future episodes here. So, we got this old vehicle here. It's pretty old. I'm not sure what this was used for. Looks like kind of a delivery truck. There's so many spider webs in here. All right, now we're getting to like the main like coolest parts. So, this is the swing set. So, the one girl that died was on this swing set. She was swinging and a truck like that backed into her and killed her. And that's why all of these stuffed animals are here to pay tribute to the little girl. Now look at this. So many [Music] [Music] [Music] So, here's one of the ticket booths for the ferris wheel. The lights are still on. Oh, look at the change. [Music] They say when these spin it's the ghosts, but it's definitely just wind. And here is the coolest thing in this park. I think they said they bought it in ' 85 from Jersey. Sitting decaying here now. Don't think anybody ever died on this, but it's still really cool. Man, check out that painting. Oh, it's so pretty. All right, guys. That's going to do it for this place. What an amazing little adventure. Quick video, but lots of fun. If you guys like this kind of content, let me leave a comment down below. Let me know what you think. And until next time, peace.
