Supposedly Haunted Places in Wichita

Do you like to check out haunted and scary places in and around Wichita? If you are brave enough, here is a list of places people say are haunted in Wichita.

Theorosa’s Bridge

Between Sedgwick and Valley Center: Jester Creek, Valley Center, KS 67147 Theorosa’s Bridge owes its name to a tragic and haunting tale that dates back to the 1800s. According to local legend, a Native American woman named Theorosa, along with her infant child, faced a dire situation. The story varies in its details, but most versions agree that she was fleeing danger or seeking refuge when she arrived at the bridge. In her desperation, she either jumped from the bridge with her child or was separated from her child, leading to their tragic deaths in the waters below.

This tragic tale forms the foundation of the bridge’s supernatural reputation, with many believing that the restless spirit of Theorosa lingers in the vicinity, searching for her lost child or seeking closure for her untimely demise.

Theorosa’s Bridge has become a hotspot for paranormal enthusiasts and thrill-seekers who are drawn by reports of eerie occurrences and unexplained phenomena. Those who have ventured to the bridge at night have reported a range of ghostly experiences.

Orpheum Theatre

Downtown Wichita: 200 N. Broadway Built-in 1922, the historic Orpheum Theatre has long been rumored to be one of Wichita’s most haunted places. Both staff and patrons have reported ghostly figures, mysterious noises, and eerie sightings over the years. Some believe that the spirit of a former manager, who died under mysterious circumstances, continues to linger within the theater’s ornate walls. Others claim to have encountered a spectral presence in the balcony area.

Old Cowtown Museum

Downtown Wichita: 1865 Museum Blvd The story is Marshal Murdock, who was the founder of the Wichita Eagle newspaper, had a daughter who passed from spinal meningitis, and the family comes to haunt the grounds. They have ghost tours if you dare.

Visitors have described strange cold spots and unexplained noises, adding to the eerie ambiance of this historical gem.

The Keeper of the Plains

Downtown: 339 Veterans Pkway, Wichita While the Keeper of the Plains is a beloved symbol of Wichita, it also holds a mystique that transcends its artistic significance. The statue, designed by Native American artist Blackbear Bosin, stands at the confluence of the Arkansas and Little Arkansas Rivers. It is believed that the spirits of Native American tribes, displaced during westward expansion, continue to watch over this sacred ground. Some visitors have reported hearing drums and whispers in the wind, suggesting that the Keeper of the Plains might indeed have a spectral guardian.

Broadview Hotel, which is now the Drury Plaza Hotel
