Tell me some interesting Southwest Missouri ghost stories.

The Native American presence in Southwest Missouri also plays a role in the origins of some ghost stories. Native American tribes had their own spiritual beliefs and stories about the land. When settlers arrived, some of these stories may have been incorporated or adapted into local ghost lore. There could have been areas that were considered sacred or haunted by the tribes, and as the land changed hands, these beliefs merged with the settlers' own ideas about the supernatural, creating unique ghost stories that are still told today.
