Brooklyn Back in the Day: Steeplechase Park

Of all the ghosts whose presence is felt in Coney Island, one of the most charismatic is Steeplechase Park. It existed from 1897 to 1964 and, then, died at the hands of Fred Trump who notoriously invited guests to break the windows of the pavilion. In any case, amusementparks.com has some wonderful Steeplechase Page including a general intro page, an Inside Steeplechase page and more. Check it out.
