Cedar Point, America's greatest amusement park, has a haunted carousel horse. "Military Horse" is sometimes ridden by a spectral woman, either the wife of Daniel Muller, who carved the horse, or a woman who fell in love with it on her honeymoon. The horse, it's said, cannot be photographed without some mishap.
But that's not the only haunting at America's Roller Coast. There is the old Hotel Breakers, where seasonal employees are sometimes housed. Go left at the top of the steps on the top floor and walk out to the balcony facing the lake and you'll feel yourself being pulled over--if you're a girl. The story goes that a couple at the hotel knew they were going to be separated and made a suicide pact, then jumped off the balcony here. The guy fell to his death but the woman held onto the railing and pulled herself back up, which is pretty much typical. His ghost tries to pull girls over the edge into eternity with him, so be careful. Another part of the old hotel was the site of a suicide; a girl killed herself in the shower. Residents sometimes hear crying and see their shower turned on and off by itself.
In addition to this, there is the haunted ballroom above the arcade, which is used occasionally by the park or rented out for Proms. Spectral music is often heard there, and ghostly dancers are seen.

There is also urban legends that the frontier carousel was haunted and the Giant Wheel is haunted by the ghost of a man who was either pushed over or jumped because he couldn't be together with his girfriend. There's been 133 years for stories to brew, urban legends to spread, and if you believe, ghosts to inhabit places and things.

What is most anticipated event of 2003? the debut of Dragster, the release of Metallica's new album, the release of Terminator 3, or the release of Matrix:Reloaded...tough call.

You'd think a ghost would have better ways of showing that it's around than messing with your plumbing!

What's the story of the ghost of Mary in the hotel? Is she the one that "pulls" girls over the balcony or is she the one in the shower? I was in the hotel all summer and nothing strange ever happened that I was aware of.
The story of the ghostly horse was in one of the Haunted Ohio books. I remember I wanted to go take a picture of it to see what happened, but the summer after I read the story, they had removed the Frontier Carousel! I saw it this year at Halloweekends, but they had a video of some girl riding it, so that probably would have messed up the picture anyways.
