The former Alexander Mitchell Bank is one of the many locations featured on the Lexington Ghost Tour. Considered to be the most haunted city in Missouri by Ghost Tours of Missouri and several paranormal investigation teams, the city has a historic and haunted past.
"There has been a lot of human tragedy in this area. The steamboat Saluda, the battle of Lexington and all the guerilla activity" explains resident and Civil War re-enactor Greg Hildreth, "Those events and the death and suffering that the mines brought to town; I can see why people believe the place is haunted."
Another reason it might be so active is because of the land itself.
"Cities near rivers and areas with certain types of geology seem to have a lot of paranormal activity," explains Paranormal Research Investigators (PRI) founder Nick Spantgos, "Given the fact that haunts are often place-related, geology is one of many factors to consider when researching potential haunts."
Ghost tours scheduled in Lexington feature stories from the Wentworth Military Academy, Battle of Lexington and the Anderson House, Saluda Steamboat Explosion and Block 42, the notorious gambling and brothel area.
Sponsored by Ghost Tours of Missouri, the tours include only public buildings with authentic paranormal activity. Tours are $19.50 per person; the trolley departs from Riley's Pub at 8 p.m. Due to the sensitive nature of the tours, age is limited to 12 and over.
