  Feeling the creeps at LC

  So I went to LC for a school field trip when I was still in middle school, which was my first time going there ever. Also to set the record, I never heard of LC till the field trip. Along with the incidents and reported paranormal activities. (I would just find out about this as I got out of middle school) I went there when I was in 7th grade, arriving early to preform in Starlight Ballroom since I was in the middle school's band. We walked into the park to go to the ballroom to preform and the judges to judge. As we went in there, its was pretty creepy and gave me this eerie feeling. Didn't think about it too much since we were there to preform. After the band, orchestra, and chorus were done, they announced the trophies. Chorus obviously got the best trophy for their amazing performance. We went back to the parking lot to put our instruments back into the trailer, so we could go have fun at the park. We were only there for like two hours, which isn't enough to at least go on a decent amount of rides. But it was still fun. But while I would go onto different rides with my friends, something felt off. I wasn't sure what could cause this eerie feeling to come back again, but I would just brush it off. After all, it's just an amusement park, not a grave yard with ghosts lurking about. The next day (tbh I don't remember if it was the next day) everyone that wasn't involved in any music class from school would go to the park. This time I would have more friends to be with at LC. We would be there again for 2 hours, which isn't much time to spend at an amusement park. We would go on a couple of rides, and we would split up in 3 groups so we could enjoy different rides. I was in a small group with only 2 friends and me. We go get a drink, which was in this small building ( idk what it's called ) so we could cool off since it was so freaking hot. On the way, we would pass by a drop tower ride which was called Count Down or something like that ( I don't remember the name of it nor can find it online ). One of my friends told me that someone died on the drop tower ride. I think they died from slipping off the seat they were on since they weren't strapped in properly, falling to their death. That gave me the worst chills I ever felt, since it would go on top of me feeling creeped out of LC on how it felt off for no reason. After cooling off, we would head to the haunted mansion ride where we would meet up with our other friends. As we went through the ride, it would give me more of the eerie and uneasy feeling. I don't know how a cheesy ghost ride would give me more creeps. Before we left the park, I bought a cute alligator plushie from the gift shop with my friends who would also buy something. We would head back to the parking lot to get onto buses to bring us back to school, where we would be picked up our parents. I would arrive back home, with my cute new alligator plush which I named Snarpy. But even though we left LC, I still had that uneasy feeling. It creeped me out even more since I don't know why I felt all creeped out. I assumed it was the haunted house dark ride since I don't have great experiences with dark rides ever since I was little. Since I would have my eyes shut for the whole ride, even though my mom was there to comfort me. Probably it's just because I don't like flashing lights, or it's the trauma I received when I was younger. I would again go to LC a year later when I was in 8th grade. I knew that the place gave me the creeps, so I knew to just ignore that feeling and enjoy the rides with my friends. I would go there two times again like last year, due to me being in band to preform there. Also chorus would again get the best trophy, again. ( idk why I'm making a big deal about this, probably because I was a bit disappointed that I didn't have my trumpet that time. Yes, I forgot my trumpet. The reason was due to it not being where it's supposed to be when we were packing up the instruments, which I left it in the cubbies. ) But in conclusion, the park still gives me the creeps even though I never encountered anything paranormal. Just the feeling of the place being off. Btw I just went there recently and still have that feeling. But now I feel like I'm being watched by something there. Maybe the ghosts probably, lol. Sorry that this was super long, I just have a lot to yap about lolz.

  Don’t listen to the snake review

  I can’t find any information about a snake bite death and given that there aren’t any native venomous snakes in New England I find it basically impossible to believe.

  Lake Compounce is definitely haunted

  I worked as an overnight security guard against my wishes that was all they had available position wise the time. I will jst say at the time I worked for them they were going through a major Renovation for the upcoming new season. I lasted about two weeks before having an alone experience in the parkside diner at the time and I quit that same day after being haunted by phantom scuffling and walking around noises in a building that was locked up and only accessed by me at the time checking presure valve closets . I walked so fast to the front to lock up the building and I never returned again

  Snake bite

  You forgot about the child that died after being bitten by the snake. The snake that lived in the carousal pony during the winter. Bit her when she was on the carousal during the spring season
