Q:
has anybody actually gotten good evidence that his place is haunted? i keep seeing basically this same story in several places online and the tourist board claims there were 6 deaths but all the articles only report on the one girl, there is talk that there are 3000 Natives buried there, but they only found 13 skeletons, i am just wondering if there is paranormal activity that is backing some of these claims - like do you see or hear or experience anything other than a cold spot on the swing?

We've got a picture (apparition) of a young, tall and skinny boy, that looks scalped. Looks like he's wearing a buckskin jacket, with hands in pockets. A couple we friended and walked around with, their I phones kept cutting off and on, we had no problems with our androids. A large mist accumulated in front of us out of no where, leaving the burial grounds. While back at the burial grounds, I walked off by myself towards the river, and came to a complete stop and although not scared at all that night, something made me feel like I had better not take one more step and I turned around and walked back to the other folks that were back there with us. We also heard, back at the burial grounds, the very loud sound of a horse, kinda like it was a ripping snorting sound and to best describe, it was like it was between dimensions. My stepson asked his mother if he should record anything, but he never did, but we later found there was a "self" recording on his phone with a floating up and down orb, with a growling sound accompanying it, that sounded like something from a Hollywood recording studio for a horror flick. Chris, the owner told us, that when they are back there sometimes, their phones would pocket dial each other, but not like a normal accidental "butt dial." Then to top it all off, when we were leaving, before we got in the car, my stepson felt a hand touch his shoulder. He absolutely freaked out to the point where he cried. I tried to post the apparition photo on my review here, but it didn't show up. This stuff happens when you don't expect it, like nothing's happening, then out of the blue, it happens. Like fishing though, sometimes you fish, sometimes you catch. Oh yeah, at the swings, first time we went there, there was a stuffed pink elephant on one of the swings, I think someone left it there for the little girl. It fell off by itself, sitting pretty one minute, then it was like something pushed it off, to the ground, right in front of us. Overall, even if you don't experience anything paranormal, we enjoyed the people, they were great and shared allot more history with us than you can read on the internet.

Saturday night you have to have a minimum of 10 people but the other nights you don’t. We took tents and camped and wandered the ground on our own
