Since I am FROM Arkansas, I decided to start my reporting with ghostly occurrences in my home state, and Batesville is great for that. I live less than sixty miles from that town, and grew up hearing the stories. Lyon College has a long history, and plenty of ghosts to choose from.

The college wasn’t always a college. It began as an orphanage, and the orphanage burned down sometime near the turn of the last century.  They say that, late at night, you can hear a rocking chair slowly creaking back and forth in the empty chaple. And, of you are foolish enough to be in te auditorium late at night, the walls will appear to be burning down around you. There are even those who swear that you can feel the heat of the fire when this happens. Also at night, in and near the chapel, children’s voices can be heard, first laughing, and then screaming in terror.
