Richmond Haunts long-form
Haunted Arkansas: Crescent Hotel, Highway 365 and the Allen House
Episode notes
About this episode
| Arkansas’s haunted traditions stretch from private homes and country roads to hotels, theaters and civic buildings. This episode places those stories against a state history shaped by settlement, agriculture, conflict and the landscapes of the Ozarks and the Arkansas River Valley.
The journey begins with the Allen House in Monticello and the hitchhiker legend associated with Highway 365 near Woodson. It then visits the King Opera House in Van Buren and the Clayton House in Fort Smith before turning to the Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, one of the state’s best-known destinations for supernatural lore. The final stop is the Desha County Courthouse in Arkansas City. Together, the six stories show how hauntings can become attached to residences, travel routes, performance spaces, hotels and public institutions. The episode keeps documented places and historical context distinct from reported apparitions and local legend while exploring why these Arkansas stories continue to be retold. |
