Cheyenne founded 1867 (Union Pacific Railroad) · Wyoming State Capitol Building
US Ghost Adventures runs its Cheyenne program under the brand Cheyenne Ghosts, offering a nightly walking tour meeting in front of the Wyoming State Capitol Building, 200 W 24th St. The route covers about a mile of downtown Cheyenne.
Cheyenne was founded in 1867 along the route of the Union Pacific Railroad and quickly grew into a Wild West rail town with a documented history of saloons, gambling, and a red-light district. The operator's marketing frames this frontier-era history, along with the city's historic theater, courthouse, church, and depot buildings, as backdrop for the reported hauntings covered on the tour route.
Sources
The operator's route narrative describes the Historic Atlas Theatre as haunted by ghostly audience members that appear after the lights dim, and the Cheyenne Depot Museum as home to the spirit of a painter who fell to his death and a shadowy figure who throws items at shoppers in the gift store. St. Mark's Episcopal Church is tied to a legend that a construction worker's body was sealed inside an unfinished wall, with reports of disembodied footsteps, church bells ringing on their own, and a whispered voice saying 'there's a body in the wall.'
The Wyoming Supreme Court is described as haunted by the spirit of longtime Judge Fred Blume, who served over 40 years and reportedly still frequents his old office after his 1971 death. The Tivoli, a former brothel, bar, and clothing store, and Our Place/Madeline's Scents, a former Red Light District saloon, are both tied by the operator to reported hauntings from Cheyenne's Wild West-era vice trade. The former Palmer's Cafe (now Ernie November record shop) is linked to a post-WWI murder, and the Hynds Building is tied to a fatal 1916 hotel fire that killed ten guests, including children.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing and narrative material, not documented history verified independently for this listing; it is included here as a description of what the tour covers, not as an endorsement of any specific claim.
