The ghost reportedly seen on Central Avenue in Bettendorf is a "Phantom Washwoman". She is one of many spirits said to haunt the Quad Cities region, and unlike the "Black Angel" of Riverside Cemetery in Moline or the "Hanging Ghost" of Davenport's City Hall, less information is available about the specifics of the Phantom Washwoman legend. The legend of the Phantom Washwoman is not widely known outside of local ghost lore, and the specific details of her story are not as well-documented as some of the more famous Quad Cities hauntings. The spirit is described as a "washwoman," a figure who historically did laundry for a living, indicating a spirit tied to a humble, working-class past. The sightings are said to occur on Bettendorf's Central Avenue, suggesting a connection to that specific location. As a phantom, she is described as a supernatural resident, rather than a physical one.
