Abilene is not without its share of scary ghost stories or urban legends. I doubt that you can find an Abilenian that hasn't heard about the 'Lady Ghost of Fort Phantom' or the mystery surrounding the 'Anson Lights'. Here are some local 'urban legend ghost stories.'
The Lady Ghost of Ft. Phantom
This ghost story began in the mid 1940's when Mona Bell agreed to meet her boyfriend who had just returned from the war.
They were to meet at Lake Fort Phantom where he would flash his headlights three times. As she went to hug him, he flew into a rage and strangled her. His best friend had (jokingly) told him that he kept Mona company while he was away.
