Wichita Haunts: History and ghosts in Wichita!
Shadowman is seen roaming the grounds at Cowtown. The blacksmith touches
investigators in his shop. The former church on Hillcrest Street has a friendly
ghost named Belle. These are just a few of the characters that linger in Haunted
Wichita. Wichita grew from the prairie as a cattle town into “the Peerless
Princess of the Plains.” Influenced by bold settlers, the city reflects the
American spirit of capitalism and manifest destiny.
Explore the haunted history of Wichita through supernatural tales from
Cowtown, the Delano District and theatres.
Most are authentic haunted locations, as documented by Wichita Paranormal
Research Society (WPRS) and Paranormal Research Investigators (PRI).
