Camden Park is a 114 year old amusement park in Huntington, WV, that started as a stop on the Camden Interstate Railway. It has a number of vintage rides and a retro feel that families love for the nostalgia.

What many people don't know is that it's also an ancient burial ground.

Welcome to Camden Park in Huntington, WV.

Many visitors enjoy a day at the park, and don't even realize that it surrounds an ancient Indian Burial Mound.

A map of the park will show you where to find it.

Although it blends in with the landscape of the park, the mound can be seen if you know where to look.

You can get a peek at it here from the Flying Scooters.

It's similar to the larger Grave Creek Mound that is in Moundsville, WV.

Because of the mound and the bodies buried under its surface, the park is rumored to be haunted.

Visitors report seeing ghosts, or feeling a cold presence.

Although it seems a little spooky to us now, the mounds were never meant to be threatening. They were built as a way to honor the Adena people's most respected leaders, much like the ancient Egyptian pyramids.
