"Carnival Town" USA?

A friend of mine (and another friend of his) are going ghost hunting on Wednesday night... He says this place that we're going to (just outside of Butler, PA) is called 'The Carnival' or 'Carnival Town, USA'. It is "said to be" an old location for a vampiric cult, yadda-yadda... He also says the last time they went there, they went to question the gentleman that lives just next to the area and he chased them off with a shotgun...? Does that even happen anymore?

Anyways... I did a google-search for the place, and got nothing. Not even a teeny, tiny bit of information. Has anyone ever heard of this place? Or is it complete local bunk? I'd like to know before I completely commit to going out into a random dark place with two guys that are arming themselves to the teeth with nasty sharp things...

Something wicked this way comes.

And in response, no, never heard of it. Though I remember being chased off by a shotgun wielding old man back in my youth.

Well, I've never heard of the place, but if you're going hunting ghosts why start in a place supposedly frequented by a vampiric cult? And, if your friends are 'arming themselves' for the experience, I think that you should listen more closely to that little voice in the back of your head that moved you to post here...

I think I'd be less concerned if I knew the second guy... but there's no records of the place itself *anywhere*.

Sounds to me like they're playing you for the idiot. If this place was worth it's salt, there would be something somewhere, no? Not to mention the idea of blazing through the woods with two armed idiots and rousting a man armed with a shotgun doesn't sound all that bright either.

For the record, I've been chased off with a shotgun before. Stealing pumpkins round Halloween. It was a stupid prank and someone could have seriously gotten hurt. Thankfully the gun was loaded with buckshot and the only "casualties" were the sweet, sweet pumpkins.

Never heard of it, and I wouldn't advise you to go.

I'm not finding anything. It's possible that it hasn't been reported yet, but Shadowlands tends to be pretty good about this kind of thing. Then again, they don't have info on a local spot that I'd expect to find info about, so it's possible that it's there.

Butler County - The Black Cross - Rumor has it that in the late 1800's a horrible flu epidemic went through the area of Butler/Kittanning. At the time, there were a bunch of immigrant workers here who all contracted this flu and died. Instead of being buried in individual graves, these immigrants were thrown into a mass grave pit that had been dug out in the woods. An enormous black cross was erected on top. At night, it is told that you can hear unearthly howling at this spot; also a strong wind and mist are reported.

Butler County - McConnell's Mill State Park - The old Mill turned state park is home to many spirits who still roam the hills and Slippery Rock Creek. When the mill was operational a man who worked there always walked the same path to work. He carried his lunch in a box and a lantern. Rumor is the man died because of a malfunction in the equipment. Some nights if you park your car right above the mill the man can be seen walking down the hill to mill. He goes into the mill a light seems to be on and screams are heard coming from the mill. There is also the spirit of a caretaker that lived on the property from the early 1930's until his death around 1960. Times he can be seen chasing people away from the land he loved and took care of. Legend has it that a girl died in auto accident on the covered bridge that crosses Slippery Rock Creek beside the mill. Stories say she can be summoned by parking your car in the middle of the bridge turning off the engine and lights and honking your horn 3 times. She is supposed to appear in your rear view mirror. Natural human reaction is to turn around and look but she's never there and disappears from the mirror. Many people have lost their lives in the treacherous Slippery Rock Creek, which is more of a river in the surrounding area. Numerous adventurous young people have drown in waters. Several people have perished climbing the park's huge rock formations. There is no doubt it one of the most haunted areas in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Butler County - Moraine State Park - Burton Road -"Snyder Cemetery" Red eyes will chase you out. Also, something else could chase you out. It is Conrad Snyder who is haunting his family's resting place.

Butler County - Moraine State Park - Snyder Cemetery - A green glowing light come from a small gravestone, white flashes of light, weird fog reported.
