When
I was younger, some friends and I were waiting for some other
friends to show up when we heard a girl playing on the swings.
When we turned to look, we saw a girl in a blue dress swinging
then disappear. My friends and I then ran away.

I nearly
had a stroke when I saw that you were investigating Ammon
Park in Pocatello. I grew up there, and my grandparents lived
in the neighborhood. When I was a child (I am in my 30's now),
my cousin and I had an experience there.
We were
playing in the shed, it looked different then, but was on
the same spot. The door had been left open by the parks &
rec people who had been setting sprinklers there earlier that
day. The door closed on us, and we were locked in this shed
for over an hour. My cousin had a very odd reaction to this.
He was never a scared kid (He is now a l awyer and politician
in Indiana), but he FREAKED out, screaming and clutching me
and carrying on. He was approx. 9 years old, I was 11. It
scared me as well, but not nearly to the extent it did him.
Some other
local kids finally let us out, saying that the latch were
the padlock should have been was flipped firmly over the catch.
They had gone home to eat lunch, and had just returned to
join us. Otherwise, the park was empty. This did not appear
accidental. My cousin and I still discuss it.
We used
to play in this park a lot as kids, and had some other weird
experiences there,(once a remote control car drove all over
on its own, other toys we left there would disappear - maybe
other kids, maybe not) but never in a million years did I
think it might be ghostly activity, until today.
Investigation Notes (Spring 2002)
After
a couple of investigations to the park we have had only a
couple of experiences. Tracy and Chris both had the feeling
that the little girl was present and was still wearing the
blue dress. She had brown hair just below the shoulders. Her
dress was like a Easter Sunday dress which was baby blue in
color with white lace.
We feel
that she was killed there at the park either in the little
tool shed shown on the picture page or in the vicinity of
the park. Towards the end of investigation, we felt that she
was hiding by a tree. Upon investigation of the tree Chris
had the strong feeling that he was intruding and she wanted
him to leave the area surrounding the tree. While returning
to the car, we felt that she was following us and she wanted
us to stay. We did not want her to follow us back to our homes
so we kindly asked her to stay there and then left.
While
filming the area, Chris caught the following footage of a
swing set. Only one of the four swings was moving rapidly
while the others were only slightly moving.  (Click

Investigation Notes (9/28/2002)
Our return
visit to Ammon Park only had a couple occurrences. While producing
very little results, the investigation was a good training
opportunity for our newest member Matt.
The first
occurrence happened while we were taking compass readings
on the now repaired swing set. When the compass is placed
on the swing that is shown moving in the above video, the
compass shows a heading of north being in what is actually
the north west direction. After checking the calibrations
of all three of our compasses, a compass was then placed on
each of the three main swings. The middle swing showed the
closest correct heading towards north while the left swing
showed a heading of north in what is actually the north east
direction. (Click
on icon to view compass footage.) A future investigation is planned to return to Ammon
Park and see where the three headings intersect.
The second
occurrence happened when a van pulled up with a couple adults
and a child. Chris had a feeling of fright and hatred towards
the van. After the van left, the feelings that Chris was receiving
subsided. |
