The stories people tell and the things people say they've seen can be so amazing! Arkansas has its fair share of urban legends and tales told around campfires (the Boggy Creek Monster is still the most famous Arkansas urban legend and likely the most covered in fiction and other media), and these particular stories just might be worth checking out for yourself to see what's really going on...are all these cases just based on legend and myth or is there something more to these than meets the eye?

Desha County Courthouse Menace
According to stories spread for years by locals, a drunken young man who'd been unlucky at gambling set a fire in an act of revenge and was handed down his subsequent punishment - death by hanging - in a sentencing at the Desha County Courthouse. The man proclaimed his innocence until the end and vowed that the beloved courthouse's clock would never run again. For over a century since the execution, the courthouse clock has not worked properly.

Brushes With Greatness At Mount Holly
Along with a number of local historic luminaries and prominent Arkansas names, 14 state Supreme Court Justices, 4 United States Senators, 4 Confederate Generals and 21 Little Rock mayors are buried at Mount Holly Cemetery. If that's not cool enough, the cemetery is said to have spirits roaming on a regular basis dressed in clothing of their era. Who knows? A ghost hunter with just the proper attitude and courage might be able to carry on a conversation with a celebrity spirit!
