The Elms Hotel

The Elms Hotel In a building that's been standing since 1888, you know there are lots of ghosts. Back in the days of Prohibition, a speakeasy operated in the basement level of this glorious old hotel. A man was shot over a gambling debt and his spirit still haunts the spa and pool that today operates that level. Other people here a woman screaming in that area, perhaps as she watched her lover die. The hotel housekeepers do not like Room 501 or 425 because of creepy things that have happened there over the years. The hotel offers nightly ghost tours, led by a man who worked the overnight maintenance shift for 10 years and encountered many of these ghostly guests in person.
can't find any tour information anywhere, I'm already a fan of their facebook page. do you have to be a guest to go on tour? not really sure.....
rooms run $150

Elmwood Cemetery The second oldest cemetery in Kansas City, the Elmwood has been welcoming guests since 1872 and is now the final resting place to 36,000 souls. But not all of those souls rest in peace. Two little girls in white dresses are common figures found wandering the grounds at all hours of the day and night, (one account I found said you usually see them on cloudy days/evenings.) along with lots of paranormal activity. There are both Confederate and Union soldier buried here, along with several of Quantrill's Raiders who burned Lawrence KS, and 150 years later, many still don't get along.
(Kevin and I did a cemetery walk here with a group. it is a truly beautiful enchanting place.)

Have you explored this? It's not far north and west from Maryville, Mo. —

Seven Sisters Road (Road L) Nebraska City, Nebraska Just south of Nebraska City lies road L, or as the locals call it, Seven Sisters Road. As one of Nebraska's darkest tales goes, a man lived with his family in the area nearly over a century ago with his seven sisters. One day, for some unknown reason, perhaps jealousy over the treatment of his sisters since he was the only male in the family, he led his sisters out, one by one, to the surrounding hills of road L and hung them each from different hills. All seven sisters met their untimely demise. Today, as the legend goes, those who travel on the road encounter extreme paranormal phenomenons. Car troubles are often reported, headlights inexplicably dimming when driving on the road and when leaving the area, the lights go back to normal. Perfectly fine vehicles stalling on the road has been very widespread, as well as electronics and such being drained of energy. The most chilling of all reports however, is travelers have reported hearing the screams and wails of the sisters coming from the nearby hills, and apparitions of the young women have been spotted standing on the side of the road on a few occasions. Good-luck to those brave enough to travel the road...

Workman's Chapel, Burlington Junction, Mo.

In the north-west corner of the state of Missouri, near Maryville, a crumbling one room chapel sits just off a dirt road. Pastor John Workman built this chapel in 1901. As urban legend goes, stories of devil worship in the chapel have been told after it was deserted in the 50's. The adjacent cemetery has had reported sightings of soldiers, and the sound of hooves trotting through the grounds Figures darting behind headstones have been seen and some have heard church bells clanging when there are no bells in the church.The chapels alleged history is very dark and disturbing. A preacher stabbed to death a woman in a white dress and hid the murder weapon beneath the floorboards. A woman was hanged from one of the great, old trees, and greets visitors by dragging booted toes across the top of any car parked under it. A bearded giant in a flannel shirt wields an ax to chase off interlopers. The place is said to be more haunted than the famous Stanley Hotel and scarier than the Waverly Hills Sanatorium.

oh! if only I were a sketch artist in the vicinity of a haunted location investigated by The Dead Files....

then I could sketch furiously and hold up my work and say, "Amy, is this what you saw?" am I too old and untalented to become a sketch artist?
they are investigating a haunted B&B in the Ozarks. Brumley, Missouri.
you can stay there, or do $20 tours.....and they have a facebook page and website. this is going on my list!
Amy & Steve think they have identified the man and woman living in the walls. The Rev. and his wife. he buried her and remarried 3 months later and went on to have 6 more kids....on top of the 10 they had together. She cries and is miserable. that is so sad. that misery can carry over into the afterlife. that your husband would come back to haunt the same place you haunt. and that you can't just be together and be happy. yeah, it sucks that he remarried so soon. but it was the 1800s. life went on. had to find a gal to take care of those 10 kids. if he would've died, she'd of been in the same boat, since women couldn't own property or anything...
at the end of the show, they tell you 'what's happening.' Nick & Marcy closed the doors and put it up for sale. For Sale! when that episode would've caused such a business boom! Amy took the man and woman in the walls home with her to move them on, so all they had to do was 6 months of cleaning with salt water spray on all walls, floors, doors. and follow up withe burning sage from top to bottom, then outside. she said the Dr. would be ok if everything else left. I figured at least a male and female medium, a riki master, an Indian Shaman.....so many layers. I wonder why she took them home? something about the case really got to her, evidently.
and according to facebook, they are still open! maybe I can talk Kevin into this for our anniversary????
