Monte Vista Hotel

Flagstaff, Arizona

The picturesque old hotel provides a marvelous place for an overnight stay on the way to or from the Grand Canyon. Guests who stay there may encounter the “Phantom bellboy” who knocks on doors and announces, “Room service” in a muffled voice. Others claim to have seen the wispy image of a woman strolling through an upstairs corridor.

The Campbell House Museum

St. Louis, Mo

The Campbell House Museum commemorates the home and Victorian lifestyle of Robert Campbell and his wife Virginia Kyle Campbell. The house was first built in 1851 by John Hall. Hall sold it to Cornelia Hempsted Wilson in 1853 and she lived in the house for only one year. Robert Campbell purchased the house in 1854, and he and his family lived there until the death of his last surviving child in 1938. The building was located at 20 Lucas Place.

In 1900, Lucas Place became known as Locust Street and the house was renumbered to 1508 Locust Street; its current address. Footsteps are clearly heard in parts of The Campbell House Museum. At dusk they can be heard crossing the third story and descending the stairs. On occasion, when the museum’ current director has been working after dark in the basement, he’s heard heavy footsteps crossing the kitchen floor above him. When he was new to the house he would rush upstairs to find out who could have gotten in when all the doors were locked only to find no one there.

Since then Andy Hahn has become accustomed to it. A little more unnerving are occurrences in the Campbell’s elegant library. Twice since Mr. Hahn has been with the museum, after making certain all the shutters were closed and the doors locked before setting the security system alarm and leaving for home; he has returned the next morning to find the shutters in the third story library open and the fainting couch turned around to face the windows.

Bonne Terre Depot

Bonne Terre, Mo

This national historic depot was constructed in 1909 by the St. Joseph Lead Company as the hallmark of the MR & BT railroad. It was completely restored in 1989. Rumored to be haunted. The spirits of kids playing have been seen. The apparition of a young girl and her scream have been documented. In the late 1800’s or early 1900’s a little kid was killed on the tracks. A ghostly train has also been heard.

Downtown Barnhart

Barnhart, Mo

Located south of St. Louis, it is now just a little ghost town. All that is left is a jail, post office, a one-room church, and a few run down houses. The town was named after the Barnhart family, when Mrs. C.L. Barnhart donated some land to the Frisco railroad Depot. The town dried up after a plague wiped almost everyone out. When you come here, you can hear the voices of the little children’s ghosts playing.

Don’t know how much of this is true. Barnhart looks to be just a run-down little town. As for it being haunted, I really don’t know.
