Apparitions filed in Arkansas

Arkansas files 25 dossiers under this claim — a visible figure, full or fleeting, reported by a witness. It is the most common shape a report takes in the archive, and the Arkansas shelf runs the same range as the national one: nameless shapes in hallways, figures identified across decades of separate sightings. The dossiers note who reported it and when; what was seen is left where the record leaves it.
