Runyon Park

Illinois · USA · Cemetery

It was a swimming hole once, and the first settlers' family cemetery is here. Voices are heard in the woods in broad daylight, and not in an everyday tone.

This park at Lockport, Illinois was once called Legion Park and there was a swimming hole in it. The burial ground of the Runyon family, the first settlers on this land, is also here.

What people report is voices in the woods in full daylight, and the accounts are specific that they are not voices in an everyday tone.

Climb the hill and you can see where the old flag pole stood.

Daytime reports are worth noting because they remove almost all of the conditions that produce night time ones. A wood at midday is not dark, the witness is not primed, and other people are usually about.

Swimming holes have their own history. Before public pools, children swam in quarries, rivers and dammed creeks, and a great many drowned in them. Parks that used to be swimming holes almost always have that behind them.

The park is public.
