The Haunting

Spring Lake Park is a reportedly haunted school or campus site in Texarkana, Texas. Reports tied to the site usually focus on a tragedy or violent past linked to the location.

Reported account from HauntTracker: The town that dreaded Sundown. A couple was there making out and were murdered. Rumor is that the girl was tied to a tree and stabbed to death, if you stand by that tree, you feel rope being tied around you.

- October 2005 Update/ Additional Info: The story is that they both were victims of the notorious Phantom Killer of Texarkana in 1946. They have gotten out of the High School prom and went to a make out spot although they were told not to go there since the Phantom hadn't been caught. The girl was indeed tied to a tree and stabbed, but in a rather unique way: the Phantom tied his knife to the slider of her trombone and pretended to play it while simultaneously stabbing her. Today the Phantom Killer is STILL at large

If visiting, treat it as an active public or historic place and follow posted rules.
