South 6th Street, Atchison, Kansas
The origins of the haunting known as Molly's Hollow in Jackson Park vary. What is known is that around midnight people have reported hearing a terrible shrieking voice continuously crying out "Molly!". Often the horrible screaming is accompanied by the apparition of a woman hanging in a tree.
The most popular history of Molly's Hollow states that a beautiful young woman known only as 'Molly' got into a fight with her boyfriend in the park on prom night. Her boyfriend drove off and left her in the park. The next day Molly was found hanging in the tree, her clothes torn. It is unkown if her death was a suicide or murder.
Another history of Molly's Hollow states that Molly was an African-American girl that was lynched by a white mob years ago.
Today, Molly's Hollow is popular place for 'parking'. However, some have been driven permanently away from this area after witnessing the horrific haunting.

Hi, Im alyssa and im into paranormal stuff. I think its really cool. I would really like to see videos...real videos of people seeing molly or hearing her scream... because the only way i can believe this story is to see it. And i would love to go to Molly's Hollow but i have no friends to go with and i dont want to go by myself just in case if it is scary. All my friends are scared. So is there any thing that you can show me like pictures of molly or videos..

Hey people i have personally been to molly's hollow and it is true that if you go down there at midnight you can not always but occasionally hear the screams the the late molly and you can see an apparition my moms fiance bill used to live in atchison very close to the park and him and his friends used to sneak down there after dark and he told my mom that on one of the nights they went there they actually went INTO the woods to see if anything would happen and they found themselves hightailing out of there when they heard a blood-curdling scream...
