Gentry, AR 72734

In 1990, local artists began to occupy the building that was once Gentry’s mortuary and funeral chapel. They transformed the space into a project studio devoted to music, film, and many other art forms. Over the years, visitors have reported strange phenomena there. They’ve seen unexplained lights and noises. They’ve had the feeling that someone, or something, was breathing down their necks.

In 2022, investigators from the acclaimed YouTube channel "Haunting History" spent a night in the Carpenter Building, and the contact they made with its ghostly inhabitants was truly unnerving. The group was lead by veteran ghost hunter David Glidden and was joined by Travel Channel's Justin Spurrier (from shows such as 'Ghost Adventures') and regional country music celebrity Johnny Dale Roberts {Johnny Dale Roberts Music} who recounts his own horrifying experiences of actually Living inside our building as a kid in the 80s.
