Potosi, MO Stories

Went with the family to a lake in the Mark Twain National Forest and stayed near the town of Potosi. I'm not one for believing in the paranormal but there was something weird about the place.

The people we spoke with were all nice, but again, the vibes of the town itself and the area were just... off. We looked it up when we got home and found it was an old lead mine (apparently lots of contamination to this day), has a pretty high violent crime rate, and is in fact considered haunted.

Anyone have any stories about this place or the surrounding area?

Edit: National Forest, not State Park
