In Excelsior Springs, the Elms Hotel and Spa basement was frequented by many infamous men during the early 1900s. According to staff and guests, there are multiple ghosts that reside here.

People who have seen objects thrown or have had their hair pulled believe it is the lost child in question that is the culprit.

This house built around 1920 was inhabited by the Epperson family until their deaths. Witnesses these days see lights turned on by a woman in blue, along with footsteps and organ music. The ghostly woman in an evening gown has been witnessed numerous times, and is said to be Epperson's adopted daughter Harriet Barse who died in the house as an organ was being installed.

Ghost investigators in the area like to check out the Coates Hotel, due to its famous clientele during its prime.

This house has a rich Civil War history, which also brings a number of ghost sightings related to those events.

In the more than 100 years this hotel has been around, there have been many sightings of ghost-like appearances.

The fourth floor is said to be home to a little girl in Victorian clothing and a man who used to live on that floor. It's possibly the most haunted building in Kansas City, besides the John Wornall House.
