Missouri State Penitentiary (1836-2004) · Missouri Governor's Mansion · 2019 Jefferson City tornado
Jefferson City Ghosts, US Ghost Adventures' Jefferson City brand, operates a nightly walking tour meeting outside the Missouri State Capitol, 201 W Capitol Ave. The roughly 1-hour, 1-mile route covers the Missouri State Penitentiary, which opened in 1836 and operated for over 150 years, closing as one of the longest continuously operating prisons west of the Mississippi; the Governor's Mansion, whose documented history includes the 1883 diphtheria death of nine-year-old Carrie Crittenden, corroborated in this corpus's own Governor's Mansion listing; and the Tweedie House, built in the 1870s by shoe manufacturer John Tweedie and later used as a funeral home, damaged by a 2019 tornado that struck Jefferson City.

According to the operator, the Missouri State Penitentiary is haunted by inmates from its 168-year operating history, with paranormal investigators reporting activity tied to its death-row cells and solitary confinement wing. At the Governor's Mansion, the operator recounts the story of a young girl referred to as 'Carrie,' whose death the mansion's household reportedly tried and failed to prevent; this corpus's independently sourced Governor's Mansion entry identifies her as Carrie Crittenden, who died of diphtheria in 1883 at age nine. At the Tweedie House, the operator describes reports of ghostly footsteps and flickering lights tied to the Tweedie family and the building's later use as a funeral home and hospice facility.
All of the above is the operator's own marketing and narrative framing, not documented history independently verified by HauntBound beyond what is separately sourced in this corpus, and is included here only to describe what the tour covers.
