Branson Scenic Railway Depot (early 20th century) · Historic Owen Theatre (1930) · Fleagle Gang manhunt (1928-1930)
US Ghost Adventures runs guided ghost walks in more than 250 U.S. cities; in Branson the program is marketed as Branson Ghosts, and the Spirits on the Strip Branson Ghost Tour is also listed on the Missouri Division of Tourism's official visitmo.com site under its exact operator title. The tour meets outside the Historic Owen Theatre, 205 South Commercial Street, and covers about one mile of downtown Branson's historic district in roughly an hour, with an extended bonus tour also offered.
The route's confirmed corpus stops are downtown Branson landmarks. The Branson Scenic Railway operates out of a restored early-20th-century depot, running passenger excursions through the Ozarks; the operator ties the site to Jake Fleagle, the last surviving member of the Fleagle Gang, a Midwest outlaw crew whose members were tracked down and killed by law enforcement in 1930. The Historic Owen Theatre, built in 1930 and among Branson's oldest entertainment venues, remains an active community theater. Plum Bazaar, a downtown storefront the operator ties to a former brothel and saloon, is also named as a route stop but does not have an independent corpus entry under that name as of this listing.
US Ghost Adventures guides are identifiable by branded shirts and lanterns; tours run nightly, rain or shine, year-round.

At the Branson Scenic Railway, the operator ties reported footsteps and voices to the outlaw Jake Fleagle, the last member of the Fleagle Gang, said to have made a final escape attempt at the site before his death. At the Historic Owen Theatre, the operator describes a company of resident spirits ranging from playful to unsettling, including the theater's founder and namesake and a woman in blue. At Plum Bazaar, the operator ties the building's earlier life as a brothel and saloon to reported overlapping presences from the past.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing and narrative 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.
