What are some real haunted places in Kansas?  

It’s always a good time to have a spooky time, and luckily for us, there’s no shortage of spooky in Kansas. It’s home to many haunted places, and that makes sense – it's an older state with lots of history, and usually, with history comes ghost stories. Some of the most interesting haunted places in Kansas include a strange place in the woods called Molly’s Hollow in Atchison. Tucked away within Jackson Park is this hollow, where legend has it that a young woman died brutally there (though the cause and manner of death is lost now). It’s said to carry with it a sense of crushing sadness, and some folks have even reported hearing screams in the area despite being the only persons around. Yikes! There’s also the witch’s grave in Galena, where – supposedly- every morning at 3:33 a.m., the spirits awaken and roam the grounds. Folks have reported seeing things like apparitions, capturing EVPs, and much more. Enter if you dare!
