Entry No. 14 — the Kansas City file — filed under: haunted

Union Cemetery

Established in 1857, Kansas City's oldest public cemetery is the final resting place of over 55,000 souls, but its peaceful facade hides a chaotic history of desecrated graves and lost records.

The move: Grab a self-guided walking map from the Sexton's Cottage and search for the grave of George Caleb Bingham, or find the historic holding vault that once stored bodies during frozen winters.
