Here Are The 8 Best Places To Spot A Ghost In Arkansas

Undoubtedly the most haunted place in the state, the Crescent is the most haunted hotel in the nation as well. The hotel offers nightly ghost tours that include a visit to the morgue where Mr. Norman Baker cremated the remains of his failed medical experiments. Not all the Crescent's ghosts are evil though, some just had unfortunate accidents. Mason worker, Michael, fell and died during construction. A little girl fell down the stairs who can be seen playing in the halls. There's also Morris the cat, and a St. Bernard that roam the hotel.

You'll have to ask your favorite Fayetteville local the exact location of where this ghost roams but the story is a fairly well known one. A family of three lived in a log cabin on top of a mountain southeast of the Drake Field airport. The husband was an alcoholic and would come home blackout drunk most nights to terrorize his wife and child. One particular evening the husband became irate because his sick child wouldn't stop crying. Inebriated and enraged, the husband snatched the baby and threw her down the well. The panicked wife jumped in to rescue their child, but the husband cut the rope before she could climb back out. Although the husband left town immediately afterwards, the cries of mother and child can be heard late at night around the mountain.

The Allen House has been the inspiration behind a book and movie but you'll want to visit to experience the ghost first hand. The house is haunted by Ms. Ladell Allen, a southern belle who unexpectedly died in 1948. Her suicide was questionable and for nearly 40 years the master bedroom where she poisoned herself with mercury cyanide was sealed off. Though the room was sealed, strange happenings began soon after her passing. Tours can be booked in advanced at any time and the Allen House opens for Halloween tours as well.

Most cemeteries are somber, yet peaceful final resting places for the deceased. Mount Holly Cemetery is not one of those. Multiple reports of period-dressed ghosts have been spotted, small items left on the graves disappear and reappear elsewhere, and even statues have moved to neighboring yards. If you do dare to visit, be sure to respect all graves and the cemetery's hours.

History buffs and ghost hunters will enjoy a trip to the McCollum-Chidester House. Now a museum, the house was once occupied by Confederate General Sterling Price during the Civil War's Red River Campaign. Union General Frederick Steele moved in shortly after. Steele accused the owner, Mr. Chidester, of Confederate espionage and had him shot. The bullet holes can still be seen as well as the angry ghost of Chidester.

The museum is located at 926 W Washington St. in Camden and is open for tours Wednesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Just south of Roland resides a small unincorporated place known as Natural Steps. The area has quite a bit of unlucky history from Native American battles to bushwhackers to ghosts.

The suicidal bride, Martha Sanders, drowned herself in the river after her groom's sudden death.

The Victorian house may be a favorite spot for educational tours and weddings but take heed, ghosts also like to frequently visit. The bedroom on the second floor has the most activity—and even the house's director doesn't like to enter it.

One highway south of Little Rock has drivers repeating the same bizarre story. If you're driving on Highway 365 at night you may be one of the many that see a hitchhiker.

Once they reach the woman's house, the mother living there will inform them that her daughter died years ago. She's never surprised when another stranger tries to deliver her lost girl.
