We’ve all heard our share of haunted cemetery stories, but those sound a little easy to craft. Cemeteries at night are already full of resting places, so it’s easy to feel a little creeped out when you visit one. However, this haunted saloon under this small town in Kansas is sure to scare a fright into people. That is — if you see anything worth being scared about!
Welcome to the historic Wolf Hotel, a spot in small-town Ellinwood that’s a little more creepy than you might initially assume.

These underground tunnels used to house brothels, bars, gambling houses barber shops, and more. Much of it is closed to the public, but the part you can see is — quite frankly — a little creepy.

Haunted spots in Kansas aren’t very common, so when you hear about ghosts in tunnels under a town, it makes sense to be a little excited. We hope to snag another tour ourselves soon!
