Haunted Kansas Locations - Fort Leavenworth

Ft. Leavenworth, from 1827 to present, is one of 5 military posts to reside in Kansas, and is the oldest continously operated military post west of the Mississipi. It has a wealth of legend surrounding it's ghosts, and activity that has been reported from the 1800's and still occurs today.Here is are some of the most well-known.

Father Fred's Ghost

One of the oldest legends at Fort Leavenworth is Father Fred's Ghost. The story begins with the original St Ignasius Chapel, built in the 1870's, it was located at 632 Thomas Avenue. In 1875 the Chapel and Rectory burned to the ground. A young priest died in that fire. Many of the building materials from this original chapel were salvaged and used in the building of the new Chapel that is now located at McClellan and Pope Avenues.

In the house at 632 Thomas Avenue, some of the original bricks from the Chapel, were used to build the fireplace in the dining room, and some of these had names carved into them, including the name of Father Fred. It has been reported that there is a young priest in Jesuit robes who has been seen walking up and down the stairs from the attic room. continued

The Legend of Catherine Sutler

The ghost of Catherine Sutler is one of the best known legends of Fort Leavenworth. She is often seen wandering the post calling out the names of her 2 lost children, Ethan and Mary.

On their way to what was to become their future home in the Oregon Territory in 1880, Hiram and Catherine Sutler, and their 2 children, Ethan and Mary, stopped to stay with family they had at the Fort. One morning the children were sent to collect firewood, driftwood was plentiful atound the banks of the Missouri and they were cautioned not to go too near the water because it could be very treacherous. The children went to do their task, but did not return. Their worried parents along with neighbors continued

The Rookery

The Rookery at 14 Sumner at Fort Leavenworth was built in 1832 and is the oldest house in Kansas to be continously occupied as a residence. From all reports this is a location that is full of ghosts.The most terrifying of these is a woman with long, disheveled hair who runs screaming at people with her long white gown flying behind her. No one really knows any historical facts that would explain her presence but fierceness of her rage and the aggressiveness with which she rushes at people suggest that she may have suffered some sort of horrible violence. continued

Haunted Kansas Locations - Lawrence

Here's a little history to go along with some of the places we heard about on the tour as well as some other reportedly haunted locations in Lawrence:

I found this link about some of the history and hauntings of the
Eldridge Hotel. From the website -"The fifth floor is said to contain a portal to the spirit world – especially room 506. In this room witnesses have reported breath marks on recently cleaned mirrors, doors opening and shutting on their own, and lights turning on and off by themselves.
Others report cold spots throughout the old hotel. Some guests have even encountered apparitions on the fifth floor and an “elevator ghost” likes to open and close the elevator doors on the fifth floor. Several photographers have also mentioned having inexplicable technical difficulties with their cameras when near the elevator."

Stull Cemetary

Located about 10 miles out of Lawrence some have theorized that this cemetary may "be a gateway to Hell". Interesting to read about but don't plan on paying a visit - trespassers are not welome there!
