Downtown Omaha Riverfront · Hummel Park (documented city park with a long local folklore history)
US Ghost Adventures runs guided ghost walks in more than 250 U.S. cities; in Omaha, Nebraska, the local-facing brand is Omaha Ghosts. The flagship walking tour meets at The Arch, 1110 Farnam St, at the entrance to Gene Leahy Mall on the Omaha Riverfront, and covers about one mile in roughly an hour, with an extended bonus tour also offered.
The route's three anchor stops draw on Omaha attractions and history. The Museum of Shadows is a privately run collection of items marketed as haunted. O'Connor's Pub is a downtown bar. Hummel Park is a documented city park with a long-running local reputation for violence and folklore dating back over a century. Omaha Ghosts has its own TripAdvisor attraction listing, corroborating that the program operates as a local attraction.
US Ghost Adventures guides are identifiable by branded shirts and lanterns; tours run nightly, rain or shine, year-round.

At the Museum of Shadows, the operator describes a collection of more than 3,000 items marketed as haunted, along with reported disembodied voices, footsteps, and moving objects. At O'Connor's Pub, the operator describes staff and patrons reporting enough activity that paranormal investigators were reportedly called in.
At Hummel Park, the operator's account leans on the park's long local reputation, describing it as the site of historic executions and violence, and repeating local folklore about a group of cannibals said to inhabit the park. We note this cannibal folklore explicitly as unverified local legend recounted by the operator, not a documented historical claim.
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.
