Haunted Hop!
Learn the basics of paranormal investigating on this spooky "hop" around historic and haunted Atchison on the Atchison Trolley! Our beginning investigators will spend time in three haunted locations — the Cray Historical Home, the Neavitt Home and the Riverhouse Restaurant. We will learn about the equipment, procedures and things professional investigators look for while exploring haunted sites. As we learn about investigating, we will also explore the histories of these three locations. The event wraps up with an investigation of the famous Riverhouse Restaurant, where we will also serve snacks, wine and cheese.

Don't miss out on Haunted Atchison 2009!
A girl finds bloody vengeance in terrorizing every man who resides in the doctor's home where she died during her failed surgery. A teen's voice continues to faintly echo into the night after she jumps to her death when her lover breaks off their relationship. These are the kind of tales that make the historically charming town of Atchison legendary in haunting. In 1997, Author Lisa Hefner Heitz exposed Atchison as the most haunted town in Kansas in her book entitled Haunted Kansas, devoting an entire chapter to Atchison's suspicious happenings. The Travel Channel continues to air its documentary Haunted Town, a program dedicated entirely to Atchison's chilling stories. Since 1995, families from across the nation have come to Haunted Atchison tours, a one-hour narrated ride aboard the Atchison Trolley or River City Coach to see the haunted sites and hear about the mysteries.
Seats still remain for this unique experience. Tours run Thursday, Friday and Saturday during October and, during the last week of the month, tours are scheduled Monday through Saturday, even on Halloween night! Tickets are $13 apiece and can be easily purchased online by following the link below.
And don't forget about the Sallie House. The subject of dozens of TV shows, books, movies and a new feature documentary, Sallie's House is Atchison's most studied site and is not usually open to the public. But from 2-8 p.m. on Oct. 24 and 31, paranormal enthusiasts can take a self-guided tour through the home. Purchase your $10 ticket online or at the Santa Fe Depot in Atchison. Your Halloween season won't be complete without this trip!
