The Haunted Record

Kansas

23 sourced records. Reports are attributed claims, not proof of supernatural activity.

Coffeyville · Kansas

Brown Mansion

Family-associated apparition stories accompany this historic mansion in Kansas tourism coverage. The historical residents and present-day paranormal interpretations should be evaluated as separate subjects.

Wichita · Kansas

Drury Plaza Hotel Broadview

Kansas tourism coverage recounts guest reports of moving objects and unexplained whispers at this historic hotel. Writer Michelle Marine described an elevator difficulty during her visit but acknowledged that user error could explain it. No identified apparition or independently verified cause is established.

Lawrence · Kansas

Eldridge Hotel

Room 506 is associated with a reported lingering guest. The publisher identifies this location in Haunted Lawrence. This is a published haunting account; the proposed supernatural explanation remains unverified.

Ellinwood · Kansas

Ellinwood Underground

Beneath Ellinwood, surviving passageways preserve spaces once used by residents and saloon customers. Kansas Living describes unexplained disturbances in the tunnels. Modern guided visits combine these reported experiences with the history of the town’s underground commercial spaces.

Ellis · Kansas

Ellis Railroad Museum

A basement haunting story is linked to the building’s former jail use. The prisoner narrative is a reported local account, not independently verified evidence of a supernatural presence.

Hays · Kansas

Fort Hays and Elizabeth Polly tradition

The Blue Light Lady tradition identifies the figure as Elizabeth Polly, who cared for people during a cholera epidemic before becoming ill herself. Kansas Tourism recounts sightings of a blue-dressed woman near Sentinel Hill and the fort. Her supposed spectral return is local tradition.

Leavenworth · Kansas

Fort Leavenworth

Kansas tourism records Father Fred and Catherine Sutler traditions at the military installation. These figures belong to reported folklore. The base has access controls, so a ghost story is not permission to enter.

Atchison · Kansas

Green Man Theater

Owner Charles Prokopp told Kansas tourism writer Jill Robbins that tools disappeared during renovations and turned up elsewhere days later. The former church became a community theater, and its owner interpreted these incidents as poltergeist activity. The account is an attributed renovation experience.

Ellinwood · Kansas

Historic Wolf Hotel

The hotel’s Sunflower Room maintains a place setting for Bernard Millit, who reportedly died there in 1927. Kansas Living places the custom within Ellinwood’s ghost-tour tradition. The reserved setting is a real commemorative practice; it does not establish that a spirit occupies the room.

Near Hanover · Kansas

Hollenberg Pony Express Station

Kansas tourism records reports of apparitions and sounds of horses at this historic station. Its nineteenth-century role can be examined through historical interpretation. The haunting accounts are a separate layer of local tradition; hearing an unexplained noise does not establish that a former rider or resident returned.

Hutchinson · Kansas

Hutchinson Public Library

Kansas tourism records an apparition tradition associated with Ida Day Holzapfel at the library. Reports of unusual sounds or figures do not independently establish the alleged identity of a ghost.

Leavenworth · Kansas

Leavenworth Local Hotel

The hotel occupies the former Immaculata High School, built in 1923. Staff told visiting travel writer Michelle Marine that they had seen a girl and a former nun. Marine reported no haunting during her own stay, distinguishing staff recollections from her firsthand experience.

Atchison · Kansas

McInteer Villa

This Atchison mansion offers a setting for overnight paranormal visits, covered by KCUR’s reporting on haunted tourism. Visitors and owners interpret unusual experiences through the building’s ghost stories. The report documents a tourism practice and people’s beliefs, rather than verifying that spirits inhabit the house.

Lawrence · Kansas

Merchants Pub & Plate

Kansas Living reports that employees have described apparitions at this Lawrence restaurant. Its haunted reputation forms part of a broader downtown ghost itinerary. The article does not identify the witnesses or provide dates, so the claim remains an attributed staff account.

Wilson · Kansas

Midland Railroad Hotel

Opened in 1899, the restored railroad hotel has a tradition of a young girl appearing in hallways or bouncing on beds. Kansas tourism writer Michelle Marine summarized staff accounts but said her own third-floor stay produced nothing unusual. The reputation remains based on reported experiences.

Atchison · Kansas

Molly’s Hollow

The Jackson Park hollow has a long-running apparition narrative. Competing accounts of the supposed death illustrate why the legend’s dramatic details should not be presented as documented history.

Atchison · Kansas

Sallie House

KCUR reports on this house’s role in Atchison’s paranormal tourism economy and its appearances on investigation programs. The famous child-spirit narrative is a claim, not an established medical or historical record. Visiting the property can explore how haunting accounts become part of a town’s identity.

Dodge City · Kansas

Santa Fe Depot and Harvey House

Staff accounts at the historic depot describe several alleged presences, including a basement figure nicknamed Walter and a girl associated with a third-floor staircase. Kansas Tourism reports these stories alongside the building’s railroad history and later use by the Depot Theater Company.

Kansas City · Kansas

Sauer Castle

The investigator’s directory records disputed haunting claims, including lights and voices, while noting that some observers believe its appearance generated the stories. This is private property; the legend does not confer access.

Lawrence · Kansas

Sigma Nu house

An alleged young woman appears in a haunting tradition at the former governor’s residence. The publisher identifies this location in Haunted Lawrence. This is a published haunting account; the proposed supernatural explanation remains unverified.

Kansas City · Kansas

Strawberry Hill Museum tradition

Paranormal accounts describe a Lady in Red and unexplained footsteps, but the investigator’s directory also records the museum board’s rejection of the haunted label. That disagreement is central to an honest presentation of this tradition.

Stull · Kansas

Stull Cemetery

The book examines the truth behind notorious cemetery legends rather than establishing a supernatural gateway. The publisher identifies this location in Haunted Lawrence. This is a published haunting account; the proposed supernatural explanation remains unverified.

Atchison · Kansas

The Hardware Store

A 2 0 1 9 investigation examined reported attic noises and fleeting shadows at the Commercial Street store. Investigators found the attic quiet and noted that device-generated phrases did not clearly answer questions. The report also says the adjoining former beauty shop had no established ghost reports.
