Yes, you read it right: The entire town of McLaughlin is haunted, locals say. Although many buildings in the town are said to be haunted, perhaps the most popular ghost story is that of the man who was in a car accident several decades ago. He lost his head, literally–it was found in a cow-pasture pond. Reports say his ghost sometimes appears, searching for his missing head.
