Blue Girl of Ammon Park - Pocatello, Idaho

In the town of Pocatello, Idaho there is a small park that is very typical looking in every way.  People come and go, walk their dogs, and children play on the playground.  There is one child in particular though that has been seen on the playground that is most unlike the others.  She is a ghost!

A little girl in blue has been swinging on the playground at Ammon Park in Pocatello, Idaho.  However, she disappears in the blink of an eye.

Many visitors to Ammon Park have reported seeing what to them appears to be a little girl in a blue dress swinging on the swings.  However, this girl seems to disappear into thin air.  There are others who say they simply saw a quick flash of blue near the swings and then when they looked again, there was nothing but an empty swing.

There also seems to be some strange activity related to a tool shed that is on the park grounds.  There are those who speculate that this may be the spot where this young girl perished, leaving her spirit behind.  The latched shed door has been known to open on it's own accord, with no wind blowing whatsoever.  One visitor to the park reported being locked in this shed by unseen hands with her friend when they were young. 

Sightings of the ghost of Ammon Park also have been centered around a particular tree that phantom girl in the blue dress likes to hide behind.  Sort of like she is playing hide and seek. Some who enter the park only sense her presence, feeling watched by unseen eyes,  perhaps from behind this tree.

Others have been to Ammon Park and have heard voices and even children's laughter when he park was seemingly empty.  There have also reports of energy drain phenomenon on cameras and other devices within a short time of being within the park grounds.

Children of Birch Hill Cemetery - Fairbanks, Alaska (White Lady of Birch Hill)

Overlooking the city of Fairbanks, Alaska is the Birch Hill Cemetery which provides a great view of the town.  However, it is also well known around Fairbanks for another reason.  It is believed to be haunted by the spirits of children.

The full bodied apparition of a young boy has been seen wandering about the cemetery.  It is believed that this boy is from the early 1900s based on the type of clothing he is wearing.  This apparition is often seen just wandering around the cemetery as if looking for someone.  He does however, have company.  The most famous ghost of Fairbanks, Alaska, also resides in this location.  A young girl is often seen wandering through the graveyard wearing a white dress.  Witnesses say she is also dressed according to early 1900s fashion. She is commonly referred to as The White Lady of Birch Hill.  She was reportedly photographed on one occasion by paranormal researcher Jessie Desmond.



A few visitors to the cemetery have spotted a small dark figure floating just above the ground moving about the cemetery as if it were looking for something or perhaps playing.  Shadow figures have been known to be malevolent spirits, however there have been no reports of anything torrid happening to those witnessing this dark spirit.  
 
The ghost children of Birch Hill also seem to possibly take another form.  There are witnesses driving along Chena Hot Springs Road who look upon Birch Hill and see strange glowing orbs hovering the air above the cemetery. Sometimes, hovering, sometimes moving, seemingly dancing around, and some say they seem to radiate light. Could it be that these orbs are the spirits of the young children playing around?  Perhaps so.

It may be that these youngsters are victims of the 1918 influenza epidemic that hit Fairbanks.  Many died being isolated in the Arctic with lack of medicine when the epidemic struck.  No matter how they died, they wander in death among the grave markers, perhaps searching for a life they never knew.
