Yeater Ghost, Legends & Lore

Photographed during daylight, a red and gold sign stands at the forefront of a patch of grass and trees. The sign is red with a gold outline, an emblem at the top of the sign is circular and features a crescent moon with eyes, nose, and a mouth. The crescent moon faces left, looking out at the rest of the emblem which features the sun, another moon, stars, and a shooting star - all of which are smaller details in the sign. The sign reads in CAPITAL letters from top to bottom, left to right: Legends & Lore. Yeater Ghost. Some claim Laura J. Yeater or another spirit haunts this dormitory opened in 1941. Ghostly activity is reported often on the third floor. Missouri Folk Arts Program. William G. Pomeroy Foundation 2021. 92.
