Tell us a ghost story that most people of Independence don't know.

Well, the 1859 jail in Marshall's Home, if there's any place that ought to be haunted, that place should be.

Believe me, crazy things went down in there.

But one of the main ghosts that we feel that's actually running in there, or spirit, or whatever you want to call it, on August 11, 1862, William Clark Quantrell and his raiders made a horse charge right up Truman Road now, and broke into the 1859 jail and freed 39 men.

Those 39 were being jailed in there because they would not sign a loyalty oath to the Union.

There was actually 40 men in the jail.

The 40th man was in there because he had shot someone.
