| Ghosts & Haunts In Missouri Windyville Stories page 2 This was originally posted on the MPR forum One thing that might interest anyone wanting to do an investigation around Windyville. Be aware that for some reason the County Sheriff from buffalo Mo will try to run off anyone doing investigations or anything resembling an investigation around Windyville. About 2 years ago i was working for a local radio station and we had to go out to Windyville to check on some antenna readings (we were loosing signal) anyway we had the truck from the Broadcasting company I worked for (label with the company name etc) we had been set up less than 15 minutes with our monitors running when a sheriffs car pulled up behind us. We we parked off the side of the road. The deputy approached us (me and the chief engineer for the station) and asked what we were doing there. I told him we were checking on signal strength for the AM and FM radio tower located in Bolivar as well as the signal from the Lebanon Station. He asked if we had permission to do that. I told him the station managers as well as the owner of the broadcasting company were the ones that sent us out there. I showed him the initial engineering report that showed a signal drop off. He went back to his car and talked on the radio for about 5 minutes. We still had the signal monitors running so he could see what we were doing. The deputy came back and told us that we would have to leave the area or we would be charged with disturbing the peace and creating a public nuisance? I asked him if we could finish our report it would only take about 10 more minutes. He told us we had to leave immediately or be arrested. Not wanting to cause any trouble we packed up an left. When we got back to the station we contacted the company owner and explained what happened. The following week he came up from Dallas and took the chief engineer and the station van and went out to Windyville again. To make a long story short he was arrested for disturbing the peace creating a public nuisance and resisting a lawful order. I never heard what happened after that cause I went to work for a different station. so if you go out there be advised there are some strange things going on and I don't think it has anything to do with haunting F I've lived in Buffalo, Mo. for over 50 years. I've visited Windyville numerous times. Even as a small child, I remember having bad feelings about the place. It's most definately eerie and always seems dark and overcast...even on a sunny day. The town is NOT deserted, there has always been folks living there. The Dallas Country Sheriff WILL come out and run you off if local residents think you're loitering too long. I've even been in the store when it was open. I remember the solid creaks of the wood floors under my feet as I followed my Dad. I don't like to think of myself as a true believer of the paranormal, but a town like Windyville does give credence to the possiblity of such. My 20 something niece and her friends from one of the local banks in Buffalo, went out one night and sat in their car for less than an hour and all but one caught sight of moving lights. They know the area and were parked where car lights and house lights wouldn't interfer with their line of vision...Yet, they saw these lights moving about. When she told me this, I urged her STRONGLY, NOT to go back, at least not in the evening hours. Windyville in the day is strange...Windyville at night....is one town who's "night-life?" needs to be left alone. D.D. Our family owns a campground, about 8 miles from Windyville. One night when we were driving through Windyville, we snapped a few pictures along the roads. Look very closely at this picture. It appears to be a girl holding a lantern. If you blow the picture up, you can make out the eyes, nose and hair line. She appears to be wearing an old fashioned night gown. There are two unexplained red lights in the photo as well, which look like a lantern. Keep in mind that there are no reflectors along any of the roads in Windyville. I am including a blown up picture of the figure. I have done no additional work to this picture other than enlarging this section. You can see the origional much smaller in the other pictures. Photo 1 Photo 2 Please feel free to use these photos on your website. We have dozens of others from the windyville area with orbs, but this is the only one you can actually see a face. These were taken on MM, about 1 mile east of the intersection of MM and KK.
