The park is rumored to be haunted by the spirits of those buried in the old cemetery, with visitors often reporting ghostly apparitions and eerie sounds. The contrast between its vibrant life and ghostly legends adds a chilling layer to its charm.

Its history of debauchery and intrigue contributes to its haunted mystique.
