The Haunted Toad | Peace Cemetery
The Haunted Toad is a creepy little section of the greater Joplin Toad where we explore the dark history of our small city. Ghost stories and supernatural accounts that may have been forgotten are dug up in an audio experience that will make your ears tingle and the hair on the back of your neck stand up!
This experience is best heard with earphones or stereo speakers as spooky sounds emphasize the story and you won't want to miss them by listening over a small speaker.
Follow along with the transcript and peer over old photos included to get the most out of what the Haunted Toad has to offer.
