Popular places to visit

A trail runs under an old railroad bridge on the south end of Dunbar Park. This location is claimed to be a hotspot for paranormal activity and several ghost hunting crews have deemed the location Hell's Gate. Supposedly old western train robbers would dump bodies here, the site has also been notorious for suicides and devil worship. Personally I found it a peaceful trail under an enchanting bridge, of course I never ventured through at night.
