Ghost Tales of Holton – Holton, Kansas

Ghost tales of Holton – Holton, Kansas

Have you ever wanted to visit a community that is supposed to have a ghostly presence?  If you have you may want to visit this town not far from Topeka where there are supposedly a number of different sightings that have happened.

Most of the people of the community will tell you that there aren’t ghosts here, but there are others that claim to have seen them, some more than once.  For instance there is the story about the ghost of a plane pilot that has often been seen pulling a cadaver over rocks in Linscott Park at midnight.  Then there is the chilling spirit of a Viking regularly seen heaving stones into Elk Horn Lake before dawn.  Or how about the ghost of a young man wearing a winter jacket that can be seen time and again at Holton City Dam before sunrise as he attempts to grip something.  One of the local folks says that this phantom is the phantom of a vacationer that was murdered while passing though Holton at some time.

Of course there is the ghost of a physician with a bloody uniform that has supposedly been seen on a couple of occasions near Holton.  He is supposedly there to terrify the foolish people that want to disturb the quiet of the community.

So, if you are interested in the ghosts and want to come to Holton and see if you can locate any of them just come on over. The townspeople will welcome you and give you a reason to enjoy your stay (even if you don’t see a ghost.)
