Haunted season in Atchison begins this weekend.

President of the Atchison Area Chamber of Commerce Jacque Pregont said the city acquired the title, ‘haunted season,’ from authors of books on haunted topics, saying Atchison is the most haunted town in Kansas. Pregont said there are many activities planned each year for haunted season.

“We do fun things like haunted trolley tours, we do Ghost Hunting 101, we do history mystery tours, we do murder mystery dinners, we do paranormal investigations… we do cemetery walking tours, Meal with a Medium, there’s just so much stuff that we do every year,” Pregont said.

There are a few new things added to the schedule this year including the Traveling Museum of the Paranormal and performances by magician and illusionist Aiden Sinclair.

Pregont suggests that if you’re new to haunted season, the haunted trolley tours are a good place to start. Trolley tours start running on Saturday, Sept. 1.

“Come and have a fun weekend ghost hunting or ghost learning or whatever it is you want to do,” Pregont said.
