Wicked Island
Wicked Island takes over O.J. Watson Park after dark, turning part of the park into a 30-minute haunted trek filled with scares along the way. I think the outdoor setting is what makes this one especially fun because you’re actually walking through the island at night, which adds a whole different level of creepy!

Haunted Places in & Around Wichita
Supposedly Haunted Places
From Theorosa’s Bridge and the Orpheum Theatre to Cowtown and even the Keeper of the Plains, here are some of the most talked-about supposedly haunted places in and around Wichita. Are the stories true? I’ll let you decide!
- Theorosa’s Bridge
- Orpheum Theater
- Old Cowtown
- Keeper of the Plains
- Broadview Hotel
- Carey House/Eaton Hotel
- Wichita Sedgwick County Historical Musuem
- Kansas Aviation Musuem
- The Brown Mansion
Keep reading and tell me what you think!
Theorosa’s Haunted Bridge
Location: Jester Creek area, between Sedgwick and Valley Center
Theorosa’s Bridge is probably one of the best-known haunted legends around Wichita. There are several versions of the story, but most center around a woman named Theorosa and the tragic loss of her child near the creek. According to local legend, her spirit still searches for her child, and visitors over the years have shared stories of strange sounds and unexplained experiences around the bridge.
Is it really haunted? Who knows, but this Wichita-area ghost story has definitely stuck around!
Orpheum Theater
Location: 200 N. Broadway, Wichita
Built in 1922, the historic Orpheum Theatre has collected plenty of ghost stories over its long history. Staff and visitors have reported unexplained noises, strange figures, and unusual activity inside the theater, including stories surrounding the balcony area. Wichita on the Cheap
There are different stories about exactly who—or what—might be haunting the Orpheum, which makes the mystery even more fun. Next time you’re there for a show, you might find yourself paying a little more attention to those empty seats!
Haunted Old Cowtown
Location: 1865 Museum Blvd., Wichita
If any place in Wichita looks like it should have a ghost story, it might be Cowtown! Your current article connects one of its stories to Wichita Eagle founder Marshal Murdock and his family and also mentions reports of apparitions, unexplained noises, and cold spots around the historic museum. Wichita on the Cheap
Rather than presenting those experiences as fact, I’d describe them as part of the folklore that has grown around Cowtown. With historic buildings and artifacts surrounding you, this is definitely one of Wichita’s most interesting places to hear a ghost story.
Is the Keeper of the Plains Haunted?
Location: 339 Veterans Pkwy., Wichita
The Keeper of the Plains is one of Wichita’s most recognizable landmarks, standing where the Arkansas and Little Arkansas Rivers meet. Your current article mentions stories of visitors hearing drums, whispers, and other unexplained sounds around the area. Wichita on the Cheap
I would leave out the current claim that displaced Native American spirits “continue to watch over this sacred ground” unless we can find a reliable source connecting that belief to local Indigenous history. Instead, we can simply say that paranormal stories and local legends have developed around the area over the years. Whether you believe them or not, standing near the Keeper and the river after dark can certainly feel a little mysterious!
Broadview Hotel, now the Drury Plaza Hotel
Location: 400 W. Douglas Ave., Wichita
The historic Broadview has its own longtime ghost story. According to the legend in your current article, a man named Clarence discovered his wife with another man while staying at the hotel, killed her, and later returned to haunt the building. Wichita on the Cheap
Rather than stating that story as documented history, I’d introduce it as one of the legends associated with the hotel. Guests and ghost-story fans have kept tales of “Clarence” alive, making the historic hotel another familiar downtown Wichita building with a spooky side.
Carey House Square known as the Eaton Hotel
Location: 517 E. Douglas Ave., Wichita
The historic Eaton Hotel has another creepy Wichita legend. According to the story, a woman was killed there and her killer was never brought to justice. Her spirit is said to wander the second and third floors, with stories of objects mysteriously being knocked over. Wichita on the Cheap
Whether those stories are true or simply part of the building’s folklore, they’ve helped give this historic downtown property a reputation as one of Wichita’s supposedly haunted places.
A Wichita Sedgwick County Historical Museum
Location: 204 S. Main St., Wichita
Even Wichita’s history museum has a few ghost stories! Housed in the beautiful old City Hall building, the museum has been associated with stories of unexplained activity, including objects supposedly moving on their own and shadowy figures appearing in photographs. Your current article says the basement has an especially spooky reputation. Wichita on the Cheap
A historic museum inside an old building is pretty much the perfect setting for a Wichita ghost story. Whether anything paranormal is actually happening is another questio
Kansas Aviation Museum
Location: 3350 George Washington Blvd., Wichita
The Kansas Aviation Museum has at least two ghost stories mentioned in your current article: one involving a supposedly haunted airplane and another about a woman reportedly seen looking from a third-floor north window. Wichita on the Cheap
Considering the museum is housed inside Wichita’s historic former airport terminal, it already has a pretty incredible atmosphere. Add a mysterious woman in an upstairs window and a haunted airplane story, and I’m definitely intrigued!
The Brown Mansion
Location: 2109 S. Walnut St., Coffeyville, KS — about two hours from Wichita
Okay, this one requires a little road trip, but if you love haunted places, the Brown Mansion is an interesting addition to the list. The historic mansion has long been associated with stories about members of the Brown family who once lived there. Visitors have reported unexplained footsteps, voices, and even the sound of piano music. Wichita on the Cheap
True paranormal activity or an old mansion with a lot of history? You can decide for yourself.
