“Doc”

Researcher & Co-FOUNDER

PhD trained researcher, UofA alumnus, Fayetteville-born writer, professor, wordsmith, cultural & culinary explorer of the Ozarks and beyond. Doc has traveled widely to haunted sites across the South and internationally. Born and raised here amongst the green wooded glades and gurgling cool creeks of Fayetteville’s rocky Ozark mountains, with scads of kinfolk scattered far up in the hills, Doc finds many of these stories are as familiar as calling the Hawgs on a Saturday… so he’s collecting ‘em in a book.

“Over my 50 years I’ve heard variations and innovations on these campfire standards, but I’m also sharing some new finds and freaky tidbits that surprised even this old gray Hillbilly tale-twister.”

“The Ghost Lady” KT

Tour Guide & Co-FOUNDER

The storytelling apple doesn’t fall far from the old tree, and KT embraces her role as “The Ghost Lady” leading spirited weekend walking tours of our historic downtown Fayetteville Square. She led tours at Louisiana’s infamously haunted Myrtles Plantation, so she knows a thing or two about lingering with history’s ghosts!

“I’ve frequented Fayetteville streets my entire life, but these ghost stories have me seeing old familiar places with fresh new eyes!”

Come out to hear some tales about Fayetteville’s ghosts and secret haunted history!
