🧭 2. Tilly Willy Cache
📍 GC4359A – Fayetteville, AR
🗺️ Coordinates: N36° 01.000′ W094° 08.000′
👻 What Makes It Spooky:
This cache is placed near where the infamous Tilly Willy Bridge once stood. Before it was torn down in 2010, the bridge was the subject of many ghost stories. Locals claim the spirit of a woman who drove off the bridge with her children still haunts the area. If you visit at night, you might just see her reflection in the water…
🧭 3. Dead Women Crossing
📍 GC6AFNE – Weatherford, OK
🗺️ Coordinates: N35° 32.000′ W098° 43.000′
👻 What Makes It Spooky:
This cache sits at a site tied to the 1905 murder of schoolteacher Katie DeWitt James. Her tragic story is still whispered about in western Oklahoma. Locals report eerie feelings and strange sightings near the creek bed. It’s a chilling stop for anyone brave enough to seek out it out. These haunted geocaches are great fun for any spooky fan.
🎃 Bonus Cache: Appalachia
📍 GC87A – Appalachia Ghost Town, OK
🗺️ Coordinates: N36° 08.000′ W096° 20.000′
👻 What Makes It Spooky:
Appalachia, OK, is now a ghost town—abandoned in the 1960s after Keystone Lake was built. What remains are crumbling buildings, hidden paths, and a heavy silence that lingers. This haunted geocache captures the eerie isolation of a once-bustling place now lost to time.
