2. Twisted Halloween, Lenexa, KS

Looking for a great costume to wear to this year’s Halloween party? Then look no further and drive to Twisted Halloween in Lenexa.

At Twisted Halloween they, “dare to be different.”

We had a sold out Broken Doll Class tonight & the participants did great!! It was awesome to see 2 dads enrolled in the class so that they could learn how to apply make up to their daughters. They will use what they learned tonight & make many more Halloween memories. Thank you everyone!!

5. Ghost Tours of Kansas, Atchison, KS

Find the ghosts of Atchison when you take this Ghost Tours of Kansas in Atchison. Your journey will last 100 minutes and begin with a ghoul meeting at Paloucci's Restaurant. Tour the old Riverhouse Restaurant and learn about the spirits of its “colorful past,” and feel the apparitions walking the riverbanks and other unexplainable traces of phantoms throughout the city. Witness spiritual warfare, learn about the “cleanings and exorcisms” of the past. Keep a watchful eye on this tour.

6. The Ghost at the Hollenberg Pony Express Station, Hanover, KS

The Hollenberg Pony Express Station is rich in history and built in 1857 by Gerat and Sophia Hollenberg. The Hollenberg’s station was located on the Oregon-California Trail and became a stopping place for Pony Express riders. Visitors throughout the years have heard horses’ hooves in the distance and witnessed apparitions. The ghost of Gerat Hollenberg has been observed talking to “disembodied horsemen” near the museum and Hollenberg’s spiritual body has been thought to be living there. He often has been known to hide and rearranges things of current staff members.

7. Long Pumpkin Patch, Great Bend, KS

In the fall, pumpkin patches across Kansas will be open and allowing locals to “pick from the vine” or choose from picked, small to big, pumpkins and make a much-needed jack-o-lantern for Halloween night. Long Pumpkin Patch in Great Bend has been filling the need for perfect pumpkins for a decade. Legend has it that jack-o-lanterns are a way of protecting one's home against the “undead” and to “ward off vampires.”

You're my favorite pumpkin in the patch ðŸ˜›
