Dead Children's Playground, nestled within Maple Hill Cemetery in Huntsville, Alabama, offers a unique experience blending history and mystery. The playground, officially named Drost Park, was originally removed due to space constraints but reinstated in 2007 following public outcry.
Surrounded by a 30ft man-made limestone wall and shaded by a canopy of trees, this eerie playground features swings, a climbing frame, and a slide. By day, it provides a serene setting for children to play while their families visit graves, but by night, it transforms into a haunting ground where ghostly children are said to frolic.
Reports of swings moving on their own, light orbs on the slide, and ghostly figures floating about have intrigued ghost hunters and visitors alike. Local lore suggests the spirits of children who succumbed to a 1918 pandemic may inhabit the playground, adding to its macabre charm.
