Background: The courthouse building dates back to 1900, and is built in a Romanesque revival style.
Claims: In 2009, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported that ghost hunters had examined the Desha County Courthouse in Arkansas City for paranormal activity. Local courthouse workers claimed that a ghost they've nicknamed Willard haunts the building. County Judge Mark McElroy said courthouse staff members have reported spiritual activity unexplainable by human logic, the Democrat-Gazette reports.
