Witches, Widows & Wraiths: Wichita Ghost Tour

A lantern-carrying guide leads a one-mile, roughly one-hour night walk through historic downtown, stopping outside landmarks like the Orpheum Theatre and the old Sedgwick County / Carnegie buildings while telling the city's grimmer legends. Tours run nightly year-round, rain or shine, and stay outdoors (you don't go inside the buildings). It leans into atmosphere and storytelling on the actual ground where the tales unfolded.

The move: Follow the lantern-lit guide on a one-mile loop through downtown after dark, pausing at the Orpheum and other landmarks to hear each spot's ghost story.

📍 Before you go Booking required; runs nightly year-round, ~1 hour / 1 mile of walking, outdoors only (no building interiors). Meets outside the Carnegie Library building.
