Blackbird Hill is the burial site of the Omaha Indian Chief Blackbird, and some accounts describe it as haunted, with legends including his burial on his horse, and the lingering spirit of a woman who was murdered there and whose screams are said to be heard on October 17th. The location, also known as a promontory overlooking the Missouri River, was visited by Lewis and Clark in 1804. Some stories claim that Chief Blackbird was buried upright on his horse on the hill. A legend tells of a woman who was murdered on the hill in 1849. She was waiting for a lover who never returned, and after marrying someone else, she and her former lover planned to meet at Blackbird Hill. Locals report that the screams of the murdered woman can be heard coming from the hill on October 17th. The site is the grave of Chief Blackbird (Wazhinga' Sabe), a former Omaha leader. On August 11, 1804, Lewis, Clark, and other men climbed Blackbird Hill to visit the grave of Chief Blackbird. Blackbird Hill is on private land and is not open to the public.
