The haunted amusement park of Takakonuma

Since its closure, decades ago, numerous rumors and legends have been awakened around the park, not only because of strange appearances or events, but because death itself seems to be around.

Its name was Takakonuma Greenland, its was in Hobara, Japan, and its legend begins since its founder dreamed of building it.

In the 70s, amusement parks were very popular in Japan, thanks to their modern attractions they were very lucrative businesses, and surely for that reason, Makoto wanted to get into the business. But to his misfortune, founding a park from its foundations was too expensive, so he opted for a less pleasant method.

According to rumors, Makoto decided to make a deal with Amanojaku, an Oni or Japanese demon who is an evil being capable of realizing the darkest desires of people. In this case, it was Makoto’s mischievous dream, to which the demon promised to provide him with fortune so that he could found the park, only that he had a request: the devil wanted him to give his daughter instead. And Makoto accepted.

We do not know if it was true, what was very real was the disappearance of the daughter after the inauguration of the park. And although he was doing well enough, he was equipped with the best games of those times, something stopped its operation just a couple of months after opening its doors: the mysterious death of Makoto.

After that, the games and attractions, just released, were left there, until almost a decade later, a businessman returned to pay attention, bought and reformed. Even though the games were old, they worked quite well, and very soon the park had recovered much of its past splendor. However, all was not well.

It was 13 years before it was decided to close the place again, because 6 people lost their lives in the park.

During the years that it was working, many rumors ran about the horrible accidents that happened, although it was said that they were technical failures, the friends and relatives of the deceased who had been with them in the tragic moment assured otherwise.

In the particular case of a young man who threw himself from a moving roller coaster, his family members declared that before he got into the game he was perfectly well, and that it was until he was on top of the game that he began to behave strangely, according to them, before jumping he said “I’m going with her” there were his last words.

Much was said and rumored since then, but it wasn’t until a tourist named Bill Edwards visited the place in 2007, that the story would become even more gloomy.

Bill said that he crossed the entire park and took pictures of the abandoned games, but to his surprise, when he arrived at the hotel and downloaded the photos, there was nothing, because a year before they had taken everything. But among all the photos, there was one that caught his attention, there seemed to be something else, something similar to a girl.

It is said that Bill later took his life, and many attribute it to the girl in the photo, because it is said that she roams the entire area of the park, and that Bill has not been the only one to walk around believing to see the games.

All attribute the appearance to those rumors that Makoto sold her daughter to a demon, and that part of her was left there, hoping that more deaths could pay her father’s bill.
