Who marked the Marked Tree?
Long before Marked Tree, Arkansas, became a town, a massive oak stood near the river with one mysterious letter carved into its trunk — “M.”
Was it left by Native Americans? A simple navigation marker? Or was it carved by notorious frontier outlaw John Murrell and his gang?
The tree was reportedly swept into the river in 1890... but more than 80 years later, a tree believed to be the original was pulled from the water.
Was it really the legendary Marked Tree? And who carved that mysterious “M” in the first place?
🎙️ Join Jeremy & Heather as we uncover the history, mystery, and legend behind one of Arkansas’s most unusually named towns.

She’s been seen at both colleges… but who was she?
In Arkadelphia, there’s a ghost story that refuses to stay the same and this could be because the legend is tied not to one, but to two prestigious Universities who call Arkadelphia Arkansas, home. 
They call her The Lady in Black. Some say her name was Jane. Others say Nell Page. Some stories involve a broken heart, others a World War II tragedy, and some say she plunged down an elevator shaft at Cone-Bottoms Hall.
And then there’s the version that says… maybe the whole thing started as a prank. 👀
But if that’s true, why has the story survived for generations?
This week on Arkansas Unsolved, Jeremy and Heather dig into one of Arkansas’s strangest campus legends and try to separate the history from the folklore.
