HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WIAT)- Rumors or a haunting?  Mystery surrounds one Huntsville playground where some people claim ghosts come out for a little playtime.

Just outside the city sits Maple Hill Cemetery, the oldest and largest graveyard in the city.  Nestled behind the cemetery is an interesting lot; a playground.  To many, it's known as "Dead Children's Playground."  Legend has it that after the sun goes down, interesting things happen.

"We walked down here and we get on the swing, and out of nowhere, you hear someone scream.  When I say I ran like the fastest ever in my whole life, it was terrifying," says Rashad Deyampert.  Reports of swings moving by themselves and children's voices floating through the air litter internet chatboards.  There are many theories as to what causes the occurences.  One rumor is after a string of child abductions in the 1960's, many of the kidnapped children's bodies were found on the playground.  "I heard some kids fell off a slide, or someone died, a couple kids died in here, and they never leave.  At night they'll come out, or whatever," said Deyampert.

So is the playground really haunted?  You be the judge.

This info is not fabricated. Our team investigated there once. Heard voices of children, stagnant heavy thick air with no breezes while the swings moved as if someone was just resting and lightly swinging with their feet still on the ground. Apparitions of legs in the distance with blue jeans on. Light anomolies captured on camera. Activity on Frank's box and the feeling of something following you around and watching you. We just say make your own decision as to what you believe....With the rock wall all around and the cemetary right there, you have potential for quartz, limestone, and the deceased folks fueling the activity galore.
