Ohio Forgotten

The Eiffel Tower is haunted by a ghost named Johnny. He is often referred to as Tower Johnny and unexplained occurrences around the park are sometimes attributed to him.

Johnny was a high school senior who fell to his death on Grad Night. The date of this was May 13, 1983, which was of course FRIDAY THE 13! The day really is cursed!

Well, he climbed the fencing around the elevator shaft, on the 50-foot platform.

Legend says that he was cut in half by the cables, and that the cables are located in a pile behind the Beast. But, the cables are really suspension cables used on the double helix at the end of the coaster.

Look at the upper right of the picture, notice the cables on the helix.
