Wichita is filled with a variety of paranormal potential that is worth uncovering. On a Wichita Ghost Tour run by Road Trip Paranormal, stories are told to resurface past and current experiences of the community.

“There are so many opportunities in Wichita that it is hard to fit it all in one night,” said Jason Roberts, owner of RTP.

With a real ghost hunter as the guide, the public or private tour centrally revolves around the Delano District.

Stops include many businesses that report sightings of paranormal activity such as a presence of a woman at former Bullwinkle’s Tattoo Parlor and a red-headed cowboy at the Perfect Touch Salon that might be connected to Rowdy Jo and Redbeard’s historic shootout in 1873.

While most of the tour is done on the exterior of each establishment, there are some locations that patrons are able to enter.

At the Broadview Hotel, where the mischievous Clarence makes prank phone calls and creates elevator shenanigans, the story is told from within the building. Guests also have the opportunity to walk around and listen about the past of Maple Grove cemetery.

Hillside church contains a thick history and entry was previously part of the tours. Now that it is an active church, it is no longer available, but the story is still told from the parking lot.

“I would take guests in and they would hear children giggling. We would even have people that felt like they were being touched or grabbed. That’s probably one of the coolest spots,” Roberts said.

Road Trip Paranormal has two sides to their corporation. Everyday-Legacy, being the investigative side, does full investigations and presents the evidence to the other team. Road Trip Paranormal decides how each event and tour is ran. Both teams together study locations and meet locals that share their anecdotes.

Over the years, the company has become more public. They now host public tours, investigations and public speaking. Currently, they are involved with the cities of Wichita, Dodge City, Wilson, Ness City and Oberlin.
