Haunted Carthage, Missouri (Haunted America)

A rich mixture of inexplicable history and eerie
happenstance runs through the portion of the Ozark Plateau that Carthage has
carved out for itself. Woodland cabins greet visitors with phantom hosts or
vanish into the night entirely. Rumors of lost Spanish treasure caravans haunt
the hills with the same persistence as the Confederate guerrillas who were run
to ground there. Nor is the town itself immune from the encroachment of the
supernatural; the drama of tragic death continues to find a stage in an opera
house, a hospital and an elegant residence. Lisa Livingston-Martin tracks down
the fiercest and most fascinating specters from Carthage’s past.
