HAUNTED FORTS

As sites were extremes of isolation, boredom, fear, and death were common fare, it is no surprise that most military forts - of whatever age are frequently believed to be haunted. Some are ghosts from WW2 and others stretch back to the dawn of the nation. A good over view, and a link to a book, are found at http://www.militaryghosts.com/. In Oklahoma, two locations claim their unsettled past. Fort Washita ttp://www.okhistory.org/outreach/military/fortwashita.html and Ft. Gibson http://www.okhistory.org/outreach/military/fortgibson.html . Older and less to see is the old ground of Ft. Towson (with no known hauntings) http://www.okhistory.org/outreach/military/fortwashita.html
