Downtown Kansas City historic hotel district · Midland Theatre (included on the current downtown route) · Kansas City Power and Light Building (Art Deco landmark)
US Ghost Adventures runs its Kansas City program under the brand Kansas City Ghosts, meeting nightly at 281 W 9th St near the Hotel Savoy, a historic downtown hotel built in the 1880s. The current route passes downtown landmarks including the Folly Theater, Hotel Phillips, the Kansas City Power and Light Building, an Art Deco skyscraper completed in 1931, and the Midland Theatre.
The operator's marketing frames the 2000 murder of attorney Richard Armitage in the Power and Light Building and a documented 1932 bombing at the Midland Theater as backdrop for reported hauntings covered on the route.
