Downtown Wichita Historic District · Original 1892 Wichita City Hall · Orpheum Theatre (1922)
US Ghost Adventures, a multi-city ghost-tour chain, operates its Wichita program under the local consumer brand 'Wichita Ghosts,' with the specific tour marketed as Witches, Widows, & Wraiths: Wichita Ghost Tours. Tours meet nightly outside the Wichita Carnegie Library Building, 220 S Main St, and cover about a mile of downtown Wichita on foot over roughly an hour.
The route covers the Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum, housed in the original 1892 Wichita City Hall; the 1922-built Orpheum Theatre, a former vaudeville house; the Ambassador Hotel Wichita, a restored 1926 building with Prohibition-era history; and Eaton Place, the former Hotel Eaton. The operator's site also references the Great Plains Transport Museum as part of the route material.

ApparitionsCold SpotsUnexplained Sounds
According to US Ghost Adventures' own tour material, the Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum's reported hauntings include cold, unexplained touches and reports of visitors being pushed or knocked down. At the Orpheum Theatre, the operator attributes a reported haunting to a former stage manager, described in the operator's material as having died in an accident involving a falling sandbag and said to still linger backstage.
At Eaton Place, formerly Hotel Eaton, the operator describes reports of a 'Blue Handkerchief Ghost' — a woman the operator's material speculates may have been the victim of an unsolved murder — reported to take an interest in rose-colored objects. The operator's material also references a bronze statue of temperance activist Carrie Nation near the Eaton Hotel as a local landmark tied to the tour's storytelling.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing material, not documented history independently verified for this listing; it is included here as a description of what the tour covers, not as an endorsement of any specific claim.
