Lincoln Ghosts is a city-specific program of US Ghost Adventures (USGA), a multi-city ghost-tour chain. The Lincoln tour, marketed as Lost Legends & Lust of Lincoln Ghost Tour, meets at the Thomas P. Kennard Historic Site at 1627 H St and runs nightly year-round as a roughly 1-mile, 1-hour walking tour. The program is independently listed in VisitNebraska.com, the official Nebraska state tourism board's directory, which lists the same meeting address and corroborates that the tour operates in Lincoln under USGA branding.
The route covers the Nebraska State Capitol (a National Historic Landmark), the Temple Building (a University of Nebraska-Lincoln theater building), and the historic Cornhusker Hotel (now operated as a Marriott property) in downtown Lincoln.

According to the operator, the Nebraska State Capitol's spiral staircase is tied to two unexplained fatal accidents whose figures are said to still appear in the building. The Temple Building is framed around the spirit of a student who fell to his death during a production, evoking the theatrical 'curse of Macbeth.' The Cornhusker Hotel is tied by the operator to an unresolved 1980s discovery involving an infant's death, alongside the separately reported apparition of a sorrowful woman on the property.
All of this reflects the tour operator's own marketing and storytelling, not documented history independently verified for this listing. It is included here strictly as a description of the tour's advertised content, not as an endorsement of any specific haunting claim. Given the described infant-death material, this stop is treated with the corpus's dignity-first standard: no named individuals, no invented paranormal embellishment beyond what the operator states.
