Ghosts in Kansas

By Mercie Hallow

Ghosts are spirits of the dead which continue to haunt us still because of unfinished businesses. Ghosts are really scary; I mean who isnt scared of one? The mere idea of a ghost even if its a family member lurking beneath the walls of our house really gives me goose bumps all over. I just hoped I wouldnt see one. My husband says Im a chicken and I shouldnt be afraid of ghosts in our house since they are just spirits of dead relatives. Oh, whatever.

Ghosts are very typical in houses, schools, hospitals and public building where once upon a time the place was busy with all activities. I dont for one, watch any ghost film for I will have a tough time sleeping after. Ghost tours are also off limits to me, unless I'm traveling with a group of people with my husband at my side. There is an interesting ghost tour in Kansas City that receives acclaims and positive (and also frightening) response coming from their client. This is the Ghost Tours of Kansas.

Kansas City is known to have many buildings and places to have ghost as inhabitants and has a very rich history to share. The tour goes into haunted cemeteries, high schools, museums, and other public places and offices here prominent ghost activities are present. The tour guides are backed up by PEDRO or Paranormal Encounter Documentation and Research Organization which has a team of experts looking for ghosts. Scary!

There was once a story wherein a group of women visited a haunted cemetery. One member felt a thug on her back and upon seeing no one, claimed that it must have been a ghost who hit her. The tour guide/ PEDRO member told her that it was indeed the ghost of a boy who happens to stroll among the place and was taken by her red hat.

The places the tour visits are location where ghost activities are prominent. Door knobs moving and pictures taken by the tourists with shadows and ghostly figures in it are evidences that spirits thrice in these locations. - 15437
