Haunted train station

Post by skrizach »

So, I used to go to a Campfire camp called Wakahni. And it was tight. And there was this old train station that was supposedly haunted, and a bunch of people who worked there were hung, had their skin stripped off of them, and blood was all over the walls. Yada yada yada, same as every camp story ever, right? But, anyways, it was a cool ass old building, and I think I'm going to go out there sometime soon to check it out. I know it's cold out these days, but is there anyone who wants to go with me? Also, anyone who might have any information on this area feel free to chime in

I did a little research in the past.....5 minutes. Found out the address of the camp is 759 E 550th Rd
Walnut Grove, MO, 65770 USA.
Also, the camp used to be a resort community known as Graydon Springs. The rail line that ran by it was/is the Frisco line.
The area is now owned by the Good Samaritan Boys Ranch, I believe

I've stayed at camp wikoni camp it is in Ash grove it was around halloween and there was a dirt road through part of the camp where the tree houses and some cabins were the older kids and counselors fix up a very scary haunted road it was fun being scared in the woods. The only scary and supposedly haunted part of the place was an old well in the woods.
