Show Me The State

If you grew up in 1970s Poplar Bluff, you likely heard of the story of Doc Annie. Legend has it, Doc Annie was a witch-like woman who operated a haunted hospital in the woods. She kept fetuses in jars of formaldehyde there. She also would throw babies into an old well called “the pit.” High school students and young people would drive into the Ozark Foothills looking for Annie’s spooky hospital and tell ghost stories about her.
