Lake Shawnee, WV Paranormal Investigation

You will need to turn your sound up to hear some of the EVP's

Mitchell Clay was the first white settler in what is now Mercer County, WV. One day while the men were away hunting, Indians rode down from the ridge and killed and began to scalp one of the boys who was working in the fields. When his sister came to his aid, she too was killed. Another boy was kidnapped. A posse followed but the Indians split into two groups. The men followed them into Boone County and killed several Indians before realizing the Clay boy was not there. After they backtracked and pursued the second band who had fled to Ohio, they arrived only moments after the third child had been burned at the stake.

In the 1970's the land was used as a small amusement park. On the swing rides, a little girl was accidentaly killed and a few years later a boy drowned in the lake. The owner; Gaylord White, whitnessed both deaths and feels that he is being haunted by the children, but now see's them as his "friends". Now only a few rides sit deterioriating on the original gravesites, a silent almost mocking momument to this tradegy of long ago.

Did you guys catch anymore stuff while yall were there?

[PopeShrimpy]

@timmyphlly411 this is all we got from that night, but we were only there one night...we'd love to go back out again. It was absolutely worth the long trip and the money we paid to spend the night. The owner is a real nice guy (to anyone who doesn't illegally trespass on the property or disrespect the area) and we suggest everyone to go and experience this place for yourselves.

@PopeShrimpy We were just there and NOTHING.. no sounds, no people, NOTHING.. we will be asking for our 100 bucks back.

[PopeShrimpy]

@onehandpass79 Thats a little odd, but sometimes the paranormal can be like that. I'm surprised that NOTHING happened at all. What kind of equipment did you have? Did you try the swings like Gaylord said? How long did you stay there?

I wanna go see this for myself. This is awesome.

[PopeShrimpy]

I encourage everyone to go check this out for themselves, but make sure you talk with the owner. He's a nice guy, but he's not nice to trespassers. You will have to pay to camp-out, but if you get a small group together and split it, its not so bad. I promise its worth the money too. I drove all the way from Indiana just to see this place.

We went thru a long, cold(very cold) and creepy night to get this stuff. It's all real. Obviously edited for time, but nothing has been added or removed. Let us know what you think, we may be investigating some more paranormal places and incidents.

I can stand in my parents yard and see Lake Shawnee. I grew up there. Went to school at Spanishburg. I fished at Lake Shawnee when it was all grown over and abandoned. I'm telling you now the only thing scary about Lake Shawnee is what they charge you to catfish there.

Cool, Mitchell and Phoebe Clay are my ancestors. I belong to a group up North and have gone on a few ghost hunts. I would love to visit this site at some point.

If you guys ever get the money you should check out Okpo Land in South Korea

[shutupobama]

We just did a excellent investigation there tonight and everything you hear about Lake Shawnee is DEFINITELY true, it IS haunted, we had a very wild experience, the spirits welcomed us full force tonight, go check it out for yourself, you WILL NOT be disappointed!

Ive seen strange blue flashes that were very intense in the daytime there and smelled smoke from a campfire altho there were no campfires burning.This has been reported by others too.I was there for a catfish tournament and had no prior knowledge of the places reputation and am a paranormal skeptic but feel there is definately something going on there .

[Gunnarsguns]

I saw blue flashes while there and smelled smoke but there where no fires around.I definately think something is going on there but i dont know what
