Event time: 8PM – 2AM
Old Cowtown Museum Ghost Hunts
A location with an incredible paranormal reputation from its collection of original buildings and artefacts from the late 1800s!
With a collection of over 20 original and 30+ restored buildings from the 1800s and thousands of artefacts from that time, it’s little wonder that there are still those stuck around from that period.
With so many haunted buildings and paranormal reports, it isn’t easy to know where to begin. Perhaps the most famous haunted location on this historic site is the former home of Colonel Marshall M. Murdock, founder of the Wichita City Eagle newspaper.
His former home, named The Murdock House, has a considerable amount of hauntings. As with many homes from this time period, they saw many young deaths, with an almost 50% mortality rate for children during this time. The Murdocks were no exception, with four of their eight children tragically dying, three of which died before the age of one, with the eight-year-old Love’n Tangle Murdock dying of spinal meningitis in 1883.
Love ’n Tangle’s obituary states, “the week preceding her demise was one of terrible suffering.” Love ‘n Tangle’s funeral service was held in the Murdock House.
Some common reports here tell of a child ghost hiding in the dark corners of the home and peeping out from behind furniture. Visitors and staff members frequently see the apparition of a young girl with pigtails looking out from the upstairs window. A taller shadow has also been seen standing on the staircase in this house, and disembodied voices are often heard.
Another of the more well known haunted hotspots on this overwhelming site is the Blacksmiths shop. Here guests are often poked and prodded, and things have been thrown. Throughout the site, shadow figures have been spotted staring out of the empty shop’s windows.
The are countless other paranormal stories with lights turning on and off in unoccupied buildings, levitating candles and curtains rustling, even though there’s no breeze.
A ghost hunt at the Old Cowtown Museum will certainly keep us busy! Are you ready to take this foreboding venue on with us in the dead of night?

Just finished our VIP overnight at Hotel Metropolitan in Paducah! Ms. Venita and Julie were the absolute best! They both made sure we knew what we were doing with equipment, and gave us a fantastic guided tour and explained the history so well. Venita especially made an impression on my group. She is super friendly and definitely knows what she's doing. Can't wait to see her again! I wouldn't want anyone else!
My dad, my sister-in-law, and I stayed at The Metropolitan for a paranormal investigation, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and full of history — but what made our stay exceptional was the incredible staff, Julie and Venita. These two amazing women went above and beyond the entire time we were there. They walked us through all the investigation equipment, helped guide us throughout the night, and made us feel completely comfortable and right at home. Their hospitality was top-notch — from the snacks and drinks they provided to the delicious hot chocolate they made for us during our late-night exploring. Their kindness, patience, and passion for what they do turned our stay into something truly special. If you’re looking for a place filled with charm, comfort, and staff who genuinely care, The Metropolitan Hotel is the perfect choice. Our overnight stay exceeded every expectation. Highly recommend! I wouldn't want anyone else to tour with!! 👻✨🍫
My son and I went to belles grove plantation and it was the best time! We enjoyed everything! Miss V was great! We got a few pictures of something in the windows and I actually started crying which I NEVER would let my son see me cry! It was kinda spooky but awesome at the same time! The team is great and I highly recommend going on one of their tours! Thank u all for a great experience
I had an amazing experience with Haunted Rooms America at the Belle Grove Plantation in King George, VA. The staff was very informative and helpful explaining the various pieces of equipment.
We had such a great experience at the Metropolitan Hotel in Paducah Kentucky. 10/10 would recommend.
Super fun evening! would definitely recommend doing anything they are offering.
The staff was really knowledgeable about the location. Our group had a lot of fun trying the equipment. It's an experience I'll never forget! Thank you to David and his crew for an amazing night.
KY and Haunted Rooms America is amazing. KY was extremely friendly and willing to answer any questions we had when we attended the Haunted tour at the old st.james hospital in Butte,MT. I am looking forward to hopefully being able to join this amazing group and getting to work these events.
