Your Ghost Hunt at Kell House Museum
Join us as we investigate this 100+-year-old house on a real paranormal investigation, using our equipment and our expert guidance, you will have the best possible chance to experience the other side!
The home of Frank Kell, who, along with his brother-in-law Joseph A. Kemp, was one of the two principal entrepreneurs in the early development of Wichita Falls, Texas.
It has long been rumored to be one of the most haunted places in all of Wichita Falls, with one legend that gets talked about more than any other, the statue of Flora Kemp (the daughter of Joseph Kemp) at Riverside Cemetery.
Flora’s monument at Riverside Cemetery is known in local lore as “The Crying Bride” because some have claimed to see the statue shed tears. Legend has it that the statue cries because Flora Kemp tripped on her wedding day while descending the elegant curving stairs in the Kell House, broke her neck and died. But according to mixed reports, Kemp actually died of typhoid in 1910, a year after the neoclassical Kell House was built.
Perhaps we’ll get to the bottom of this local legend once and for all and find out whether the spirit of Flora is returning to her monument, and whether it is her that haunts the Kell House amongst many other reported spirits.
Paranormal Reports
Most of the ghost stories are the typical things you hear – people seeing figures in windows when the house is locked up tight; volunteers hearing doors open and close, footsteps, and voices in other rooms; small items being moved overnight or, in one instance, between one tour and the next on the same day; and lights turning on when no one is in the house!
Both Mrs. Kell and her daughter, Willie May, passed away in the house, and it hosted five funerals while the Kell family still owned it.
The voice of either Mr. Kell or Joseph Kell was caught on EVP on our last investigation here, he can be heard clearly saying “mama signs a song”. Both their mothers lived at the house.

Kell House History
In 1896, Kell moved from Bosque County in Central Texas to Wichita Falls. Prior to the construction of The Kell House, the family lived in another residence on Scott Street. Kell purchased the land on the bluff overlooking downtown Wichita Falls, hence the address of 900 Bluff Street. Kell’s sister-in-law was the contractor on the Victorian home.[1] Construction of the two-story dwelling began in 1908 and was completed in 1910, after it had already been occupied by the Kell family.
The house is just east of the Central Freeway. Lula Kemp Kell (1866-1957), Kell’s widow, remained in the home until her death. The Kells had six daughters[2] and one son, Joseph Archibald Kell (1895-1939), the victim of an automobile accident.[3] Their only unmarried daughter, Willie May Kell (1888-1980), occupied the house until her death.

Reviews
Did the Battleship North Carolina on April 3rd. I've already booked again for August. The hosts (Both physical and spiritual) were amazing. Recorded several EVP's throughout the night. Some very strong responses with dousing rods. Always skeptical about them, but there were strong responses, especially when we started talking to them like the military members they were. At one point I asked if they wished they had women on Battleships, he replied with a strong "Yes" and my Ghost Box replied with the word "Seductive". He really liked one of the young ladies with us. Turns out she was 18 and he was 20 when he died. Can't wait to do this again!
Just did a tour with this group on the Battleship North Carolina. Absolutely wonderful experience!! My husband and I will definitely be booking again. The leaders are super nice, respectful, and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend!!
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.
