Blue Ridge Country - September/October 2017 - 60
The Lake Shawnee site looks peaceful today . . . at least from a distance.
Lake Shawnee Amusement Park,
Princeton
With a history including Indian
wars, a massacred family, NativeAmerican burial mounds, an abandoned amusement park and ghosts
of dead children, Lake Shawnee
60 BlueRidgeCountry.com
is something of a perfect storm of
creepiness that proved too intriguing for me to resist. The land's evil
history dates back to 1783. That year,
farmer Mitchel Clay and his family
had settled on the land, claiming it
as their own. Local Native American
tribes were furious their land was being encroached upon and a turf war
erupted, resulting in deaths on both
sides, and in Mitchel Clay ultimately
leaving the land forever after burying
family members.
For almost 150 years after those
deaths at the property known as
"Lake Shawnee," it remained empty
save for the pond. Locals avoided
the land, believing it to be cursed.
