Download or read book Haunted Ozarks written by Janice Tremeear and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2011-08-16 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hills have scares in this haunted history of the Ozark Mountains from the paranormal investigator and author of Missouri’s Haunted Route 66. Tourists flock to the Ozarks region every year to dip their paddles in the pure waters of its wilderness, or to lose themselves in the happy bustle of its theme parks. But the serene hills and hollows often hide something darker. The Civil War and the Trail of Tears left their marks on the region, as did the James-Younger Gang and the Baldknobbers. Ghosts linger in resorts and penitentiaries, while UFO’s and buried treasure rest in uneasy graves. Those startled by seeing a hellhound run through their backyard, however, might also catch a glimpse of author Janice Tremeear and her team of researchers in hot pursuit of the mysteries of the Ozarks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Mark Spencer and his family moved into the beautiful old Allen House in Monticello, Arkansas, they were aware of its notorious reputation for being haunted. According to local lore, the troubled spirit of society belle Ladell Allen, who had mysteriously committed suicide in the master bedroom in 1948, still roamed the grand historic mansion. Yet, Mark remained skeptical—until he and his family began encountering faceless phantoms, a doppelganger spirit, and other paranormal phenomena. Ensuing ghost investigations offered convincing evidence that six spirits, including Ladell, inhabited their home. But the most shocking event occurred the day Mark followed a strange urge to explore the attic and found, crammed under a floorboard, secret love letters that touchingly depict Ladell Allen's forbidden, heart-searing romance—and shed light on her tragic end. This haunting true ghost story includes several photographs of the Allen House.

Download or read book The Haunted History of Beavers Bend written by Michael Robert Willeby and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-10-13 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nestled in the mountains of Southeast Oklahoma is the small community of Hochatown. It has a rich and colorful history. It began as the final destination for many Choctaw Native Americans after their long journey along the trail of tears. Hochatown was named after a Choctaw family that settled in the area with the last name of Hocha. The town grew and thrived over the years right after Oklahoma statehood in 1907, and was also given the title of "Moonshine" capitol of Oklahoma. The information contained here will give readers a glimpse into the "not so well known" history of the area. These are the tragic tales of the men and women who chose to make this place their home, long before the creation of a state park. Beavers Bend, a popular park located near the site of old hochatown, was purchased by area businessmen and constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930's. These stories tell about the tragedies, injustices and loss of life in a very remote part of Oklahoma. After reading them, you may have a greater understanding of what might cause unusual things to be seen or heard in the woods here late at night.

As the storytellers grow more desperate, their tales become more extreme, and they ruthlessly plot to make themselves the hero of the reality show that will surely be made from their plight. This is one of the most disturbing and outrageous books you’ll ever read, one that could only come from the mind of Chuck Palahniuk.
