Bois D’Arc, Mo
A thick wooded area near Memory Lane is rumored to be haunted. Some have heard many strange noises people crying for help and even once a man begging for his life swearing that he would ”never do it again.” Feelings of being constantly watched have also been reported.
Bonnot’s Mill, Mo
A phantom steamboat has been seen here where the Osage River meets the Missouri River; the phantom steamboat is said to be seen steaming up the Missouri River. This spot can also be seen from the other side of the river just southeast of the town of Tebbett’s. This unique steamboat has a duck-paddle system of propulsion. About a dozen passengers can be seen on the deck of the phantom vessel, which; they say, hovers a few feet above the current water line.
Bloomsdale, Mo
Located on the southeast border of Jefferson County, about 25 miles north of St. Genevieve. This house was built between 1860 and 1870 by Christian Funk. This three-story farmhouse, which is made out of limestone, is currently owned by Thomas Thomas. The spirit that haunts the house is said to be a twelve year-old boy named “BJ” It is thought he is of native American descent. Psychics have been reportedly contacted by the spirit of BJ. Other sightings include an apparition seen by a man who was visiting Mr. Thomas on business. The man, who’s religion did not believe in the existence of ghosts, became very pale. When asked what was wrong, the man explained what he saw and about his religion. Mr. Thomas reminded him that he saw it and not himself. Other people have witnessed apparitions walking through the hall and other noises associated with spirits.
Garden City, Mo
Years ago a train has crashed killing many of the people who was on it. At times, you can hear it’s whistle in the air and people screaming.
On a cloudy summer night around 2 am you can hear the train whistle of an old locomotive as it passes Garden City on it’s way to Clinton. Once said the sound is the ‘ghost train’ which as the story was told to me happened in the late 1880s as the locomotive was passing through town failed to sound the whistle because the engineer feel asleep.As the locomotive passed the area where the city park is now it struck and killed two children that fell asleep on the tracks listening for the train with their ears to the rail. The engineer who’s spirit is lost still travels the old rail line and blows the whistle when he passes Garden City in hopes to save the children he killed more than 100 years ago.There used to be a memorial near the tracks in the early 1940s, it was removed in hopes the ‘ghost train’ would not return. Around 2002 the red caboose was relocated from the Cole property to the city park as a memorial.
Asheville, NC
This Georgian-style high-rise building was once downtown Asheville’s grandest hotel. Though now an apartment complex for senior citizens, the building is haunted by the ghost of a young female hotel guest who was brutally murdered here in the 1930’s, and also by at least two male suicide victims who jumped from the roof and are sometimes seen plummeting toward the ground before vanishing in mid-air – about which the Asheville Police Department occasionally receives calls from horrified witnesses. It is said that the spirit of Helen Clevenger has been seen in the hotel. On stormy nights, she is sometimes glimpsed wandering through the halls. She can be seen especially when the hallways are dark, and a flash of blue lightning illuminates the window panes – just as it did the night she was brutally murdered. Though the rooms have now been renumbered, the resident of what was once 224 may have some interesting stories to tell, for certain. There are some anonymous claims that, at one o’clock in the morning, on the anniversary of the murder, a blood-red haze surrounds the window of her cursed room. It is also interesting to note that the young girl’s name was Helen. Some believe it was her name that may have been given to the ghost on Beaucatcher Mountain (which you’ll ready about later). It is also quite commonplace to hear tales from bystanders who inadvertently catch a glimpse of something falling from the roof of the Battery Park Hotel. When they search for the source of the vision, however, there is nothing to be found. Could they be seeing the replay of a suicide? Does such a tragic event somehow embed itself permanently in the environment?
