Haunted: Stories of Spirits, Scoundrels, Legends, Lore and Ghosts in the Rialto Theater and Downtown El Dorado Richard Mason

Imagine for a minute; a ghostly theater, a historic gunfight, a lawless oil boom, and a cast of scoundrels. Now add thirty brothels, characters such as H. L. Hunt?who got his start in Downtown El Dorado?some racy women, and finally sprinkle it all with gobs of money as a roaring 1920s oil boom swept over this little community of 3500 and blossomed it to 40,000 in 18 months. You?ll find an ?OK Corral? gunfight, mules drowning in muddy streets, and yes, most importantly, you?ll find an old 1920s theater surrounding by numerous other old buildings.?and they?re all filled with spirits! Is Downtown El Dorado, Arkansas the most haunted town in the country?
