.: The Midwest's Spookiest Location

For more than a decade, paranormal enthusiasts, brave travelers and those who like otherworldly diversions have been flocking to Atchison, intent on exploring its rich haunted history. It began with the now famous Haunted Atchison Tours, a guide tour aboard the historic Atchison Trolley. Since then, we've added more and more offerings. These tours, programs and events have something for everyone, from the informational History/Mystery Walking Tour and the festive Ghostly Dining Experience to a night of ghost hunting with On-Site Investigations and the thought-provoking Angelic Encounters, Atchison has a little bit of everything.

Unlike many collections of haunted tours and events, Atchison's haunted history didn't just pop up all of a sudden when the trolley started passing by the sites 15 years ago. The stories and locations explored in Atchison have been collected over decades, some stories are even a century old. The stories have been told since Atchison was a bustling transportation hub and launching point for westward migration in the late 1800s, and later a pioneering railroad town. That's when many of our stately homes were built. The bizarre occurences in these majestic dwellings continue to happen today and paranormal investigators still hold Atchison sort of a Holy Grail of ghostly happenings.

This site is your guide to an entire season of eerie excitement and, for some, spiritual awakening. A limited schedule of events is offered each summer, then reaches a climax during September and October, when we offer more than 200 tours and special events. Start your journey with the Haunted Atchison Tour, but don't miss out on this unique collection of special events. Spend a day with us, or better yet a weekend. Get your tickets right here online, and get them early. Things fill up fast. Be sure to bookmark this page and check back often for updates, new events and more excitement!
