| Accident at Creepyworld! An unfortunate accident happened last week near St. Louis, Missouri at Creepyworld! A 17-year-old girl who had been working at the haunted thrill park, was found hanging from a noose on October 27. An area supervisor told police that she found the teen alone inside the Manor section in the bathroom hanging by a prop noose. The girl was unresponsive and many of the visitors may have walked by, unaware that the girl was not acting. At the time of the incident, the girl was wearing a white bath towel and dark shorts as part of her costume. She is believed to have used the noose for visual effect. There were signs of scuff marks and shoe prints on the wall and tub. A maintenance man checking electrical work reportedly noticed the girl and checked her pulse. He then climbed onto the bathtub and supported her head as the rope was cut. Another worker, hearing the call for help on a walkie talkie, responded and gave the girl two breaths. She then began breathing on her own. The girl has been in a St. Louis area hospital since the incident, but her condition improved and she was moved out of intensive care!
