COMMENTS: Located between Perry and Enid REMAINS: None

"Bathsheba, probably the most peculiar of all ghost towns in Oklahoma, was not written about because its specific location between Enid and Perry is not known (Bathsheba was settled by women and exclusively for women. No males of any species -- roosters, bulls, male horses, or men -- were admitted to the settlement. It is said to have had a population of 33, but twelve deserted after the first week. The remaining members disappeared one night and Bathsheba became a female ghost.)"from page 9 of the book Ghost Towns of Oklahoma by John Wesley Morris..published in 1980 Submitted by: Joan hyde
