Wild Waters: Abandoned

-

Once the largest water park in the North West, Wild Waters in Cour d'Alene was the summer destination for decades before quietly closing its gate in 2010.  The park has sat abandoned now for eight years, and for those who remember it in it's heyday it is an eerie ghost of its former self.



This 2016 urban exploration video by Adam the woo shows what remains of Wild Waters.

Those traveling through Owyhee County can take comfort in knowing they are not alone.  Owyhee County, which consists of the southwest corner of the state, is home to many unique legends, not the least of which are the spectral horses said to appear in times of need. Acording to legend, if you ever find yourself lost and alone in the wilds of Owyhee you should look to the sky.  There it is said a white stallion, with a mane of wispy clouds and hooves like thunder, will part the clouds and descend to the horizon, followed by a surging herd of ghostly pale horses.  The stallion will lead the herd across the sky, and the traveler need only follow to be led back to safety.

For two years parents locked their doors and children were kept inside, but as the fear began to ease tragedy struck again.  In the summer

In the beautiful Owyhee Mountains of southern Idaho are rumored to live the Nirumbees, a terrifying race of tiny people who inhabit the mountain caves and eat human flesh.  First reported by the Crow and Shoshone tribes, the Nirumbee are eighteen inches tall with long pointed tails they curl around themselves for protection.  They are reported to be extremely strong and to shoot poison tipped arrows so fine they cannot be seen.  The Nrumbee possess many fairy like traits, and are thought to kidnap and eat children, replacing the missing child with one of their own, who will slowly drain the mother of life as it nurses.  They are thought to eat the hearts of wild stallions.  Generally assumed to be an native american legend, Nirumbees have nontheless been sighted within this century, and have been implicated in animal mutilations.
