Ghost Tours?

Post by SabrinaFaire »

I've try to Google this and haven't had much luck. Is there a ghost tour in the Omaha-CB area? What I mean by this is basically a tour guide that takes you around to different locations and tells you about what hauntings are there and whatnot. I know other cities have them, but does Omaha? DH and I are "into" paranormal stuff (me moreso than him) and we love going on these kinds of tours. I'm not talking Halloween Haunted House type places, I mean true stories.

A murder jumped off the roof of my building two years ago. Does that count? :)

I'm not sure about things like that being offered here. Maybe but I'd have to be into it to know.

Look up Ball Cemetary, it is a very scary place..

There is a whole legend behind it and even pictures on ghost web (pay site)

BTW it is a private cemetary and the owner of the property is a family member, however lots of people have gone and lots of pictures have been taken and lots of stories..

It's out by springfield, ne about 6 miles south of Omaha..

Cemetery Ghost Tour Sun 8/21

Sun at 7:30PM - 8:30PM
Historical Omaha
1234 History St

Like many cities, Omaha has a sinister past and it's fair share of ghosts! Travel with us and learn of the macabre legends, lore, and haunted history of our city!


Come take a Ghost Tour of one of the most amazing cemeteries near Florence! Once booked, you will learn the location to meet at - that is part of the fun! Plan on walking less than half a mile. While there are no stairs or hiking involved, some of the ground is uneven and some inclines. This location has no paths (all grass).
