The Travel Channel continues to air its documentary "Haunted Town"' a program dedicated entirely to Atchison's chilling stories. Since 1995, families from across the nation have come to "Haunted Atchison" tours, a one-hour narrated ride aboard the Atchison Trolley or RiverCity Coach to see the haunted sites and hear about the mysteries.All of the haunted activities require advanced reservations except for private home tours.
