Britt’s Tour of the South - Day 6: A Shiver Down Your Spine Kind of Day
A whole day devoted to scaring the crap out of you. I can’t think of a better way to experience all that Little Rock has to offer then to spend a day seeking out the local ghosts. A city with as much history as Little Rock does, it should be no trouble finding something that will send a shiver or two down our spines.
Quapaw Quarter - This is Little Rock’s historic district. 100’s of homes built from the 1830’s thru 1900, many which have ghosts. Ghostly pedestrians, carriages, and horses have been heard and seen on streets and roadways.
Quapaw Quarter - Macarthur Park - This area was a military training ground starting in the 1830’s. The Old Arsenal Building (built 1830?s) has ghosts that are seen in its basement and standing upon its staircase. Site of a Civil War conflict, and a 16 year old boy was hung there by Federal troops in 1864.
Quapaw Quarter - Mount Holly Cemetery - Burials dating back to the 1820’s. Large Cemetery. Graves of 6 Confederate generals, as well as the wife of Cherokee chief John Ross. Statues have apparently been seen moving; some are repeatedly found in various areas of the neighborhood as if they “just wandered there.” Many people were reburied there in the 1800’s. Ghostly flute playing is heard as well as apparitions. Many graves have trinkets placed upon them.
Why stop the scaring to find a place to eat? Little Rock has a restaurant or to with there own ghosts.
Vino’s Brew Pub - A pub where they brew the beer on site, so you know they’ll never run out. Great pizza, sandwiches and calzones, oh and did I mention they have a few ghostly friends as well?

Like after closing time, when all the chairs are put up after people leave, a person can come back into the building and the chairs are back down. There are strange sounds coming from different areas of the building. And, cold spots throughout the club and pizza restaurant.
