Libertyland
A very kind man once operated the carousel in this park. When a child’s balloon flew into the carousel one day, the man offered to retrieve it. He, however, forgot to turn the carousel off and was resultantly decapitated. It is said the man now roams around the attraction occasionally making his presence known.

As of January 1,2006, Libertyland was closed down.The owners had a hard time making a profit, and looking at the state of disrepair of the facilities, I could understand why. A few points of intrest: 1. The carousel that is reputed to be haunted is still there. It, and the wooden roller coaster are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Both the coster and the carousel are well over 100 years old. There is serious talk of relocating the carousel to the Pink Palace Museum.
2. The coaster was a loved by all sorts of Memphians, including Elvis. Another tale that relates to the park is that if you were to take a photo of the car that “The King” prefered you might have a faint image of his spirit on at least one of your photos.

This sounds more like a classic “round the campfire” ghost tale if you ask me. I am middle age, born and raised in Memphis, and I have never heard this story. Seems like this one might have made the news!

hey ive went several times to the voodoo village thing and nothing happened…anytime i went…not saying its not true…but ive never ever saw anyone, i guess that’s a good thing. but it is diff. scary at nite cuz they have that school bus done by the bottom of a hill and they say if you drive into it all the way and try to come back up the road and you see that big moving truck in the way… you better be prepared for a scare of a life time…cuz they block you in and i dont know if they try to beat your *** or try to kill you…forgot the story but its cool and scary to look at. they have stuff all in their yards, like voodoo stuff, or i guess that’s what it is…oh and on the liberty land thing…ive been there several times. and ive never seen anything happen or hear of anything happening to anyone…thing like that would pass around…but thats my opinion.

I have lived in Memphis my whole life and this Liberyland story IS B.S!
And Voodo Village in down in South Memphis, NOT A GOOD PART OF TOWN. I went there several times when I was a teenager. All I remember is crazy stuff in people yards the house where shacks! Not sure exactly where it is located but I wouldn’t advise anyone to go there. I have heard that the people that live there will block the road and hit your car with stuff.

I have lived in memphis all my 44 years and have definitely heard about the libertyland ghost. my father is a retired policeman and knew alot of ghost stories involving overton park (blue lady), libertyland, Orpheum, Voodoo village, house on Brownsville road, etc. whether it really happened? don’t know, but the story has been around a long time.

I like the story and all, but it isn’t really all that mysterious. Me and friends recently went to voodoo village, and we think that is about as scary as it can get in Memphis. You guys should post that one instead, if you don’t know the story then oh well. The street is Mary Angelou rd., and believe me you should check it out!
