THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Local legend tells of Hannah, whose spirit is said to linger near her lonely grave. Visitors have reported strange lights, apparitions, and an eerie feeling around the site.
According to local legend, Hannah was a 16-year-old girl in the 1800s who became pregnant. Her parents, displeased, delivered the baby at home and promptly drowned it in the Missouri River, telling Hannah the baby had been stillborn. Poor Hannah died of a broken heart shortly thereafter and was buried in a nearby field. Folks say you can hear Hannah crying for her baby here, and sometimes see a lantern floating around the fields. Some say fallen snow never stays on the place where Hannah was buried.
