Haunted Argenta
Haunted Argenta Ghost Tours started in
2017 when Paul Prater started researching the
history of Argenta and found many stories of
its spooky and troubled past.
Paul had previously done ghost tours in
Jonesboro Arkansas and knew that he could
recreate that experience in Argenta, where he
lives. It didn't take long to collect the stories
and the history and put it all together into an
entertaining and educational tour.
