Haunted Arkansas, Fourth in a Series of "These Haunted States of America"

Everyone loves a good ghost story. That's what makes authors like Stephen King, Bentley Little and Robert R. McCammon so popular. Arkansas has more than a few ghost stories of its own. At the same time rural and urban, and once on the frontier of America and the site of Civil War battles, Arkansas has a rich history that makes the state a wellspring of haunted activity.

We continue our tour of "These Haunted States of America" in Arkansas. "The Natural State" is home to 2,673,400 people, as well as some restless spirits. So, the next time you're in Arkansas, here are 10 haunted locations to visit.

1. ARKADELPHIA: Henderson State University

When this was a Methodist college, a young boy fell in love with a girl from Ouachita Baptist University. The two schools are just across the street from each other. Friends of the boy convinced him that the relationship was fruitless because of the differing schools and religions, so he stopped seeing her. When the girl found out he was taking someone else to his homecoming dance she committed suicide. Now, every year during homecoming week, her shadowy form returns to the women's dorms at Henderson State, searching for the girl who won her only love. Students here call her the "Black Lady."

2. EUREKA SPRINGS: Crescent Hotel
