St Boniface Cemetery
Music City Center
Music City Centre is believed to be haunted by several spirits, including one of a little girl named Amy and another of an older man who likes to tinker with elevators and electrical devices.
University of Central Missouri
Rumored hauntings at the University of Central Missouri range from Hawkins Hall, where strange occurrences are attributed to a student who hanged himself, to Diemer Hall, where a bathroom sink has turned on by itself. Also noteworthy are North Ellis, where an alarm clock has flown across the room and an apparition showed up in a mirror, and Houts/Hosey Hall, which legend says is haunted by the ghost of Sarah, a pregnant student who committed suicide. At the closed Osborne/Phillips Hall, rumors abound that it was shut down because of a haunting, but as it turns out, it was closed for financial reasons. But Yeater Hall may take the cake as far as this campus is concerned. Here at the oldest resident hall on campus, folks have seen lights come on by themselves, heard footsteps, felt cold spots,
and spotted a shadow of a woman’s head.
Chestnut House
Chestnut House is an 1884 Victorian Gothic house that is believed to be haunted by former tenants named the Finches, a mother and her son who occupied the home for 70 years. Both apparitions have been seen; the mother in a mourning dress and the son in a bow tie. Subsequent tenants have reported that their dog often would jump up into a certain chair and lie happily as if being petted by someone invisible.
Charles B. Leach House
Charles B. Leach was a lumber baron who built this Queen Anne Victorian home in 1887. Beginning in 1915, the house was used as a home for unwed mothers and later a women’s shelter. It was in operation until 1990. The house is believed to be haunted because of mysterious footsteps, shadows, phantom laughter, and figures that show up out of the corner of your eye in the foyer.
John Wornall House
At the John Wornall House, built during the 1850s, soldiers’ ghosts have been seen on the balconies and guarding the doors. The farm is very close to the site of the Civil War Battle of Westport, and this house was used as a temporary hospital for the injured men from both the Confederate and Union sides.
Garden House Bed & Breakfast
Garden House Bed & Breakfast is a stop on the Haunted Hannibal Ghost Tour, and folks who have stayed here have reported some very odd things. According to reports from the hotel staff, most incidents occur between 2 and 3 a.m.
The Sallie House
The Sallie House is an unassuming, painted-brick house built around 1870, but is known for being extremely haunted. Sallie, the imaginary friend of a former tenant’s daughter, is believed to be one of its ghosts. Some of the strange things experienced here include pictures turned upside down on the walls, candles that melted oddly, physical attacks, sightings of apparitions, and much more. Ghost investigators have conducted investigations at the home.
Pretty Boy Floyd's Hideout
Pretty Boy Floyd’s Hideout, a home at 6612 Edgevale in Armor Hills, was the home of Vivian Mathias, gangster Verne Miller’s girlfriend. It was where in June 1933, Miller and Charles “Pretty Boy” Floyd planned their unsuccessful prison break for buddy Frank “Jelly” Nash who, along with two policemen, was shot to death during the attempt. Afterward, the men returned to the house where one of their men died in the attic. For a while, strange things were reported there, including noises from the attic, doors that wouldn’t stay shut (including the attic door) and attic lights that kept coming on. The house was blessed by a minister, and after that, the strange activity stopped.
Bingham Waggoner Estate
At the 1852 Bingham Waggoner Estate, owned by Civil War artist George Caleb Bingham, visitors can get a look at its original paintings and furnishings–and, if they’re lucky, a ghost. A mysterious ghost bride has appeared around or on the stairs, and orbs show up in photographs taken here.
