FILM: Legends of Hainted Ditch - It all began with a photo.

-


While at a truck stop outside of West Memphis, Arkansas, Alex Norvin and his sister Laura meet an alcoholic paranormal investigator by the name of Moses Hudson, who after hearing of their plans to visit the old Hardin homestead he tells them about the rumors of the early Arkansas pioneer Jonathan Hardin and suggests they stay away.

Once they check in they soon find digging up the past can be hazardous to their health. 


It All Began With A Photo! 

 It was the month of May, if memory serves me correctly and around  3PM when I blindly snapped this photo of the wooded overgrowth at the location of the abandoned Hardin Cemetery. When I arrived home and looked at the photo I found the following. I wont you what I think it is but I do believe it something that I cannot begin to explain.

Donaghey monument status requested
Many of our residents, especially the many new ones, are not aware that Conway was an early home of George Donaghey, Arkansas Governor from 1909 to 1913.  He regretted leaving Conway for the office, as he loved “the tree-shaded streets and magnificent oaks.” Donaghey Avenue was named for him, and Louvenia Street for his wife. He built several prominent structures in Conway and other Arkansas towns as well as other states and is credited with the construction of the Arkansas State Capitol building. He was a prohibitionist in his races for local mayor and governor, and instrumental in bringing three colleges to Conway.
