Ah yes, who doesn’t love the joyful escape that is the amusement park? But beneath the din of cheerful screams and creaking coasters, what darkness lurks? From aviator apparitions at Universal Studios to the cursed and sacred grounds of Lake Shawnee, and with a final stop at Disney’s dark side, we explore some of the creepiest accounts from the happiest places on earth. So please, Belieflings, fasten your safety belts, and keep your arms and legs inside the ride at all times, as we seek out Dark Amusements and embark through the treacherous gates of the Belief Hole. 🔥 MORE DARK AMUSEMENTS: 3.2 EXP | Dark Amusements and Theme Park Ghosts 🔥 Get Expansion Episode 4.3 EXP | Paranormal Police Encounters: The Thin Boo Line 📚 Get Show Notes https://bit.ly/dark-amusements-2 ⏱ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 | Intro Trailer 02:23 | Welcome to Dark Amusements 3:39 | Follow Urban Legends America 10:12 | EXP Setup: Paranormal Police Encounters 12:13 | Frank Stites' Frightful Flight - The Aviator Ghost of Universal Hollywood 23:59 | Abandoned Lake Shawnee Amusement Park's Dark Past 30:05 | Expansion Preview: Paranormal Police Encounters, Cops True Ghost Stories 34:48 | Back to Lake Shawnee Amusement Park - Paranormal Phenomena 37:02 | The tractor and the ghost girl 39:07 | Cursed and Sacred Lands under Lake Shawnee Park 43:23 | Haunted Cedar Point and Disneyland Ghosts 43:53 | The haunting of CJ's Provisions in Frontier Town 45:35 | Watchers: Inhuman Astral Parasites at Disneyland 46:48 | Winged Humanoid (Mothman) Perched on Coaster (Omen) 48:58 | Ghostly Guests at the Haunted Mansion 51:32 | Stair-Shoving Spirits of the Star Trader Stockroom 54:03 | Non-Arriving Ghosts of the Haunted Mansion (Drug References) 55:26 | The Healer Wheeler - Man healed by Wildfire Roller Coaster, Silver Dollar City 1:00:26 | Member Thank Yous!
