Haunted Skating Rink
Before this skating rink was built in the 1970’s in a swamp, locals begged for it not to be built, as the area had sentimental value. The builder dismissed their claims and built anyway. Later, it was learned that in the early 1900’s, a young boy, Gilbert, lived in the area. Despite his mother’s warnings not to venture too close to the swamp, Gilbert was found by his father one day lying face down in the water. It is supposed that Gilbert’s ghost is responsible for many hauntings which include tampering with DJ equipment and turning on and off water faucets and lights.

I think it is the Skatin’ Place also, because the area around that building is a swamp.

I was born in 1972 in St Cloud Minnesota less than a mile across country from The Skatin Place and I have NEVER heard this story until today. You would think that with living that close and spending that much time there that I would have heard something. In asking my friends that also have lived here all their lives and they too know nothing of this story. So I really have to question the validity of this story.

It is Skatin Place. Also you may not want to miss the Strange St. Cloud Conference this weekend.

I grew up in a town 10 miles north of St. Cloud, and spent much of my preteen years frequenting the Skatin Place, and also going there for the Dance Club they held there on the weekends when I was a teenager. I have never heard of this story. Would be cool if it were true, but you would think if it were, the locals would know about it.

I live near the skatin place, about 3 miles away, and i have heard this story. My 5th grade teacher owns the skating place and she told us this story one day in class, she said the ecxact same things this passage says. Also my school used to have a parties there and one time me and my friends were sitting at a table and everything kinda fell off our table. Its very weird.

Okay I’ve never been there or anything but I live close to St. Cloud and I never heard this. Well I only came to this cuz I just saw the movie 1408 and the guy said one of the scariest places hes been to was something in St. cloud. So now I’m looking on google for anything. If any of you know what he was talking about can you comment back?

Yeah, I’m actually watching 1408 right now. I’m from St. Cloud, Minnesota and I’ve heard stories about the Skatin’ Place being haunted by a little boy who drowned. I have been there several times, but nothing has ever happened while I was there. I’m very interested in things like this… I was also trying to find what he was saying in the movie about St. Cloud MN too.
