Jackson Park. South 6th, Atchison, Kansas.

Also known as Molly's Hollow. There are two stories that keep coming up on this one. Molly, a very beautiful girl, was parked there with her boy friend. They had a fight and he left her there. The next day after her prom she was found dead. Hung by her neck in the hollow. Her dress was badly torn. Everyone believed her boy friend did it. He was never charged with the crime, if there was a crime. Some think she hung her self out of sadness about the fight.
Second story is she was a black woman beat and hung by an angry white mob. There can be screams heard around midnight, but are they the screams of a teenage heart broken girl, or the screams of a violently beaten grown women, the stories collide on that one. It is also said you can see the ghostly figure of a woman hanging form the same tree. Further stories tell of a group of kids going into the woods to investigate only to be chased out by a screaming ghostly figure. Thanks your den-master Kenneth
