Haunted Carthage, Missouri (Haunted America)

Lisa Livingston-Martin, author of Civil War Ghosts of Southwest Missouri, explores paranormal accounts in Carthage, Missouri, a city in the Ozark Plateau. The region contains a mixture of unexplained historical events and unusual occurrences. Woodland cabins are reported to have phantom inhabitants or disappear without trace. Local accounts describe lost Spanish treasure caravans and Confederate guerrillas haunting the hills. Within the town itself, supernatural activity is said to persist in an opera house, a hospital, and a residence, where tragic deaths continue to be reported. Livingston-Martin documents the prominent spirits and paranormal phenomena associated with Carthage's history. The book includes photographs.
