  Notes	The Mackney's had a 'Ghost Pavillion' at one point. it can be seen in one of the photographs. The following is a description: "A ghost show using a magic lantern to project images of ghosts, skeletons, and other macabre beings onto a screen was referred to as a "phantasmagoria" (a collection of ghosts). Loud explosions, thunderclaps and a smokey atomosphere (created with dry ice) added to the special effects. "
