If you have ever been on a tour of Mark Twain Cave or a Ghost Tour in Hannibal, you have surely heard of this guy, Dr. Joseph McDowell.

The majority of source material was obtained by way of the book: Missouri's Mad Doctor McDowell: Confederates, Cadavers and Macabre Medicine by Victoria Cosner and Lorelei Shannon
