On August 9, 2014 while in the arcade, once again the activity was amazing. At this point, I was finding it hard to be skeptical as the activity continued. The sounds of coins were heard hitting the floor. No coins were found on this night. For the first time in many years of investigating haunted places as a hobby, I saw an object which appeared to be full of coins fall from the air hockey table from only a few feet away. When it hit the floor, the sound of a coin hitting the floor was heard. An investigation of the area was conducted only to find no evidence of anything falling off the hockey table.
The next day I described what I had observed to some of the senior management on the parks staff. They explained that years ago the previous owner of the arcade used to collect the coins from the machines with a canvas bag with a metal coil to provide support and hold the bag in an open position. One of them retrieved a similar bag from storage and it was exactly what I had seen fall from the air hockey table.
I continued the investigation by interviewing a former owner of the park, Pat. He confirmed that the arcade was one of the oldest buildings in the park and that he had purchased the arcade from the widow of the former owner, Bill, who had grown up in the arcade and had inherited it from his father. Pat had known Bill for a few years before his passing and stated he was very particular when it came to money. He would not allow anyone to handle his money which included the collection of coins from the arcade. Pat confirmed that Bill regularly used the canvas bag, which I had observed, to collect the coins.
Once again, this activity remains unexplained.
