Ollie the Trolley has run trolley and charter tours in Omaha since 1985, with a fleet of eight trolleys used for historic tours, holiday light tours, corporate transportation, and special events. Each fall, the company runs a seasonal public Haunted Cemetery Tour narrated by costumed guides dressed as undertakers, covering Omaha's history as a river town where gangsters and brothels shaped daily life, with stops at historic cemeteries and mansions. The tour has been featured by local outlets covering Omaha-area ghost tours and has a substantial base of online reviews.
Sources
The operator's own material frames the tour around Omaha's history 'as a Wicked Little City when gangsters and brothels controlled life survival and death in the city,' visiting 'some of the city's most haunted cemeteries, mansions and other infamous locales.' None of the specific haunting claims have been independently verified for this listing; they are included here as a description of what the tour covers, not as an endorsement of any specific claim.
