Yeah, and I was kinda hoping people would know the one I'm talking about because otherwise I have to dig around my old laptops.
One of the later stories I read involved the protagonist visiting his female cousin's family (or the cousin visiting his?) and the two becoming enamored by an abandoned, falling apart amusement park... that when they revisit it looks restored as if it were new, with the rides running and everything. (end spoilers) When the two are about to go on the ferris wheel, the ghost classmate warns the protagonist not to do it and he tries to stop his cousin. Eventually the cousin goes on the ride -- can't remember if we see it or she sneaks back -- and her body is later found near where the long-broken ferris wheel is and looks like it fell from a great height.
