Private houses and October-only mazes are easy to find in Nebraska. A place you can walk into on an ordinary week, with a haunting story you can trace to the venue or a news report, is a shorter list. These five made the cut. Joslyn Castle, the Museum of Shadows, and the General Crook House Museum are in Omaha. The Historic Argo Hotel is in Crofton. The Midwest Theater is in Scottsbluff. All five are real buildings with a public door. The ghost parts are labeled as what Debbi Aliano told KETV, what Brian Kent told FOX 42, what the Museum of Shadows site says, what Omaha Magazine printed in 2021, what the Crook House After Dark pages say, what the Argo's own about page says, what a KETV list says about the Argo without naming Alice, or what the Midwest Theater's ghost-tour page says about Miss Bish. None of this is a claim that a spirit has been proved.
Schedules move. Phone numbers and hours below are what those sites posted when this was researched in October 2026. Check before you go.
Joslyn Castle, Omaha
Joslyn Castle will sell you a docent-led tour of the mansion. Two pages on its own site do not print the same Sunday clock. Neither of those pages says Sarah Joslyn haunts the house. A KETV page and a 2014 FOX 42 story will talk about ghosts, and they will not tell the same story.
The homepage says 3902 Davenport Street, Omaha, NE 68131. Public tour hours on that page: Sunday, 10:45 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. Monday, 10:45 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. Wednesday, 12:00 p.m. Thursday, 12:00 p.m. Friday, 9:30 a.m., 10:45 a.m., and 12:00 p.m. Tuesday and Saturday are absent from that list. The page says the building is closed on major holidays, and that the gardens and grounds are open while the building is open only during scheduled tour times and programs. It does not list the holidays. It does not print a ticket price.
The public-tours page, which I opened, prints the start times as Sunday 12:00 p.m., Monday 12:00 p.m., Tuesday "No Public Tours," Wednesday 12:00 p.m., Thursday 12:00 p.m., Friday 12:00 p.m., Saturday "No Public Tours." Admission on that page is $20 general, and $17 for seniors, students, and military. A senior is 60 or older. A student is K-12 or university, with I.D. The tour is about 75 to 90 minutes, main floor, second floor, and third floor, after a ten-minute video. Meet at the front doors. The doors open 10 minutes before the start. Cancellations within 48 hours are nonrefundable. The interior elevator is out of service. The Carriage House Café, and the gift shop in it, are Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The FAQ on that page puts the castle at 3902 Davenport Street, Omaha, Nebraska, and does not print the ZIP in that answer. The footer on the same page prints 3902 Davenport St., Omaha, Nebraska 68131.
October 4, 2026, is a Sunday, and it is not a federal holiday. The homepage would put a tour at 10:45 a.m. and at noon. The tours page would put a tour at noon only. October 12, 2026, is a Monday, and it is Columbus Day. Both pages say major holidays and neither page lists them. The Monday door is not a promise on the text I opened.
The phone is printed as (402) 595-2199. The tours page prints a twelve-digit clump beside it, 402205952199. A footer prints the ten digits 4025952199 beside the same formatted number. Those are not the same string. The formatted number is the one in the visit line below. Email on the contact page is info@joslyncastle.com. The contact page uses 402.595.2199, with dots.
The homepage also promotes "Scary on the Prairie," an evening of ghost stories and legends "drawn from the state's haunted past." That is a storytelling event. It is not a sentence that Sarah Joslyn is in the building. The homepage block I opened does not put a date on it. A separate line on that page, "The No Gatekeepers Poetry Night," prints October 14, 7 to 9 p.m., and does not print the year.
Debbi Aliano is the named witness on the KETV page I opened. The page was updated at 5:30 p.m. CDT on October 13, 2025. The headline asks whether the ghost of Sarah Joslyn still haunts the castle. The body says that in 1992, Aliano, then executive director of Landmarks Inc., "recounted the odd experience she had" while that group was looking after "the supposedly haunted Joslyn Castle." She told KETV she heard raking outside and saw the image of a yellowish curtain fluttering in the breeze on a piece of woodwork. She walked to the window. "No one was around. No one had been raking. There was no sign of anything," she said. She said the castle had a general eerie feeling, and that sometimes she heard noises. She had also heard the stories that the castle was haunted by the ghost of Sarah Joslyn. The next paragraph on the page I opened is about an October 1995 field trip to Vala's Pumpkin Patch. That paragraph is not the castle. The page does not print a room number, a daughter's name, or the words "get out."
Brian Kent, of Paracon Investigations, is the named speaker in "Haunted or Hoax? Joslyn Castle Spirits Cause a Stir," FOX42KPTM, Thursday, October 30, 2014, at 8:13 p.m. Kent said, "I go into each investigation agnostically. I don't believe any place is haunted until the location has proven itself-just like Joslyn castle." He said he has found enough evidence to classify it as haunted. "We can-we can be fairly safe to say that it's got some paranormal activity in it. Nothing to scare you or nothing to hurt you." He said the investigations found strange humming, a voice saying "Get Out," and a dark mass "that could not be created." "We tried standing behind the person taking the picture and cause a shadow and we could not replicate it." While FOX 42 was filming, the story says, a "K-II" meter went off. Kent said it was not connected to any man-made sources, and he named Dave and Allan, without surnames, as the people who do a home inspection with him "trying to first find logical reasons." The sentence is printed with a repeated "that we that." The story ends at "For more information about that," and the page I opened does not finish the sentence. "Classify" and "fairly safe to say" are Kent's. They are not a finding that a person has been proved to be in the house. The castle pages I opened do not mention Kent, Aliano, or a K-II meter.
KETV's haunted-road-trip list, updated 11:32 a.m. CDT on September 3, 2026, is a third text. It puts the castle at 39th and Davenport, calls it a four-story, 35-room mansion, and says it "is said to be haunted by the homeowners and their adopted daughter." It says employees have heard spectral voices, that there have been sightings of a woman in a white dress on the main staircase, and that a voice yelled "get out." It does not name Aliano, Kent, Sarah, or the daughter. Aliano's page is about stories of Sarah Joslyn. Kent's "Get Out" is his account of an investigation recording. The 2026 list does not say it is quoting either of them.
Visit: 3902 Davenport Street, Omaha, NE 68131, on the homepage and in the footer. The tours FAQ omits the ZIP. (402) 595-2199. joslyncastle.com/visit/public-tours. Hours, checked in October 2026: the tours page is noon on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, with no public tours Tuesday or Saturday, $20 or $17. The homepage adds 10:45 a.m. on Sunday and Monday, and 9:30 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. on Friday, and it does not print the price. Closed on major holidays. October 12, 2026, is Columbus Day. Aliano's raking is the KETV page updated October 13, 2025, placed by that page in 1992. Kent's classification is FOX 42, October 30, 2014. The tour pages do not say the house is haunted.
Museum of Shadows, Omaha
The Museum of Shadows will sell you a self-guided walk through a collection it calls haunted, on Wednesday through Sunday, for $25. The same homepage says the sit challenge is open daily. A 2021 magazine story priced the walk at $15 and counted the objects at 3,000. The photograph that clears the license rule is of the building in 2012, and the glass in that frame names a design office, not this museum.
The homepage says the museum is open Wednesday through Sunday, 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday closed. Tuesday closed. "OPEN YEAR ROUND EST 10/10/2016." Address, printed twice, as "1110 Douglas ST Omaha Nebraska 68102" and as "1110 Douglas ST Omaha NE 68102." Phone, (402) 885-7557. "Admission $25.00 Per Person" is printed twice, beside the Omaha address and beside a second address, 341 North Navy Blvd, Pensacola, Florida 32507, also written 341 N Navy Blvd, with phone (850) 741-2054. The homepage does not print a separate Omaha price. There is no age limit, and the page says it strongly recommends mature audiences. Self-guided tours, no appointment needed.
The sit-challenge line at the top says you sit 10 minutes in complete darkness, alone, with a flashlight if you need to tap out, with live cameras, and it ends with "(Open Daily)." The hour list under that line closes the building on Monday and Tuesday. The homepage does not print a price for the sit. It invites you on a ghost hunt with "Nate," the founder, and it does not print a hunt price or a hunt clock.
The same page says the museum "has been voted one of the most haunted museums in the world" and, in a headline, "VOTED THE MOST HAUNTED MUSEUM IN THE WORLD." It says the museum houses "over 5000 verified haunted artifacts." "Verified" is the page's word. Visitors, the page says, have reported being physically touched, seeing apparitions, and hearing disembodied voices, children laughing, and running. "Poltergeist activity has been caught and verified through our security cameras as well" is the page's sentence. It is not a tape I watched.
Omaha Magazine, April 29, 2021, is the named piece, and the byline I opened says "by user." It does not print a reporter's name. The photo credit on that page is Bill Sitzmann. That photograph is not the file used here. The story puts the museum at 1110 Douglas St., in the Christian Specht Building, "the only remaining building in Nebraska with a cast-iron façade," and says Nate Raterman and his wife, Kaleigh, moved in in June 2020. It says some 3,000 haunted artifacts are in the museum. It says visitors pay $15 to look through two floors, an additional $10 for the sit challenge in the basement, and $40 for a two-hour ghost hunt after 10 p.m. It says they opened in Elmwood in 2016 and moved to Plattsmouth nine months later. The homepage's "EST 10/10/2016" is a date. It does not print Elmwood, Plattsmouth, or June 2020. The $25 on the homepage I opened in October 2026 is not the $15 in the 2021 story. The "over 5000" on the homepage is not the "some 3,000" in the magazine. Kaleigh, in the magazine, said, "For me, it's all I ever knew." Nate said that in 2006, in a house in Grand Island, he saw a full-figure "aberration," the magazine's term, and doors and chairs moved. That sentence is about Grand Island. It is not a sentence about 1110 Douglas. On a donated coffee mug, Nate said, "This particular one…unfortunately, we hadn't caught anything with it." The next line in the piece is "Grandma's not attached to the coffee cup." The piece does not print a name on that line. Kaleigh said one person reported being scratched by an aberration during a visit. Nate said a small group saw two full-figure aberrations, half the group left, and the other half asked for about 10 minutes and then said they were ready to continue.
KETV's list, updated September 3, 2026, calls it "Museum of the Shadows," with the word "the," at 1110 Douglas St. It says "more than 5,000" verified haunted artifacts, names Nate Raterman, and describes the sit challenge. It does not print the $25, the $15, or the Wednesday-through-Sunday clock.
Visit: 1110 Douglas St., Omaha, NE 68102. The homepage prints ST, not Street, and prints the state name both as Nebraska and as NE. (402) 885-7557. museumofshadows.com. Hours, checked in October 2026: Wednesday through Sunday, 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday and Tuesday closed. Admission $25 on that page. The sit-challenge line says open daily and does not print a price. Omaha Magazine, April 29, 2021, is the $15 walk, the extra $10 sit, the $40 hunt, the count of about 3,000, and the June 2020 move into the Specht building. The byline does not name a reporter.
General Crook House Museum, Omaha
The Crook House will let you in on a Sunday afternoon for a self-guided tour, adults $10, with no reservation. The hours page does not tell a ghost story. Two After Dark pages do, in the society's own wording, and they do not use the same label for the night.
The museum page says the house was built in 1879, Italianate, restored and furnished to a Victorian period. Hours: Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Closed on major holidays, and the page says hours may be limited on days like Christmas Eve or when the museum hosts a private event. It says to check the calendar. Admission: members free, adults $10, children under 18 $5, seniors, college and graduate students, and military $9. A holiday-season paragraph says that from early November through mid-January the house is decorated, and that during the holiday season members stay free, "Otherwise, adult admission is $12 and children under 18 are $6," and "other discounts do not apply." "Otherwise" is the page's word. October 4, 2026, is a Sunday, outside that November-to-January line, so the Sunday clock I opened is 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the $10 adult price. October 12, 2026, is Columbus Day. The page says major holidays and does not list them.
The footer on the same page splits the address. "DCHS Main Office 5730 N 30 St, Building #11B Omaha, NE 68111," Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Then "Crook House Museum," with the 10-to-4 and 1-to-4 clocks, and "self-guided tours available, no reservation required." The footer does not print a second street number for the house. The After Dark venue line, on both event pages I opened, says General Crook House Museum, 5730 N 30th St., Omaha, NE 68111. One line has "30 St" and "Building #11B" and calls that line the main office. The other has "30th St." and calls it the museum. The phone is 402.455.9990 on the museum page and 402-455-9990 on the event venue line. Email, director@douglascohistory.org.
The museum page does not mention a ghost, a tour guide's unexplained experience, or After Dark.
One event page is headed Crook House After Dark, May 21, 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., and the page says the event has passed. It does not print a year. Tickets $30 a person. It calls the night a "90-minute paranormal evening tour" led by Jamie Nestroyl of Midwest Paranormal History Tours. It says people who have spent time in the house "have noted moments that resist easy explanation; subtle impressions, unexplained sounds, a sense of presence that lingers just beyond view." It does not quote Nestroyl. It does not say the night is not a ghost hunt.
The other page is the same title, August 27, 2026, 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., and it also says the event has passed. Price, "$30 per person (plus tax)" and, in a second line, "$30 per person + tax." It says, "This is not a ghost hunt." Nestroyl, it says, shares history "alongside stories and firsthand accounts from people who have lived, worked, volunteered, and spent time within these walls." It asks, "What was heard? What was seen?" and it does not answer with a name, a room, or a quote. "Any remaining tickets will be released to the general public the following Monday." Sales are final. October 4, 2026, is after August 27, 2026. The page I opened is not a ticket you can still buy. The Sunday 1 p.m. door is the one the hours page still prints.
Visit: 5730 N 30th St., Omaha, NE 68111, on the After Dark venue line. The hours footer puts Building #11B at 5730 N 30 St. and calls that line the main office. (402) 455-9990. douglascohistory.org/crook-house-museum. Hours, checked in October 2026: Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday and Sunday 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., self-guided, no reservation. Adults $10, or $12 in the holiday-season paragraph. Closed on major holidays. October 12, 2026, is Columbus Day. The ghost wording is the two After Dark pages, not the hours page. May 21 has no year and says the event has passed. August 27, 2026, has passed, and that page says it is not a ghost hunt.
Historic Argo Hotel, Crofton
The Argo will rent you a room and serve you a meal, and its about page will tell you a woman named Alice died in childbirth and still looks for her baby. A KETV list will tell you a young girl died in the basement. The hotel pages I opened do not say that. The list does not say Alice.
The homepage address block prints "211 W. Kansas St. Crofton, Nevraska 68730." Nevraska is the spelling on that block. The same page, lower down, prints "211 W. Kansas Street, Crofton, Nebraska 68730 US." The contact page repeats both spellings. The visible phone on the contact page is (605) 846-5860. One button uses a link target of tel:(605) 846-5860. Another link shows (605) 846-5860 and points at tel:+44555000015. The printed number and that target are not the same. The about page says Charles (Chuck), a partial owner, lives in Aberdeen, South Dakota, and is a partial owner of Spitzer Miller Funeral Home there. The page does not say the 605 number is the Aberdeen funeral home. It prints the 605 number as the hotel's. I did not open a 402 number on the hotel pages. Visit Nebraska's listing would not load past a security check, so a 402 number is not in this draft.
Restaurant hours on the homepage: Sunday, breakfast 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., lunch 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., dinner 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Those three clocks overlap. Monday and Wednesday, dinner 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday, "Kitchen is Closed." Friday and Saturday, dinner 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. The page does not say the hotel desk follows the kitchen. The about page says management is available 24 hours a day, by phone when away from the desk. It does not print a walk-in desk clock. October 4, 2026, is a Sunday, so the printed Sunday clocks are the overlapping breakfast, lunch, and dinner lines. I did not open a room rate.
The homepage says the hotel was built in 1912 by Nicholas Michaelis, "honoring the ship that brought his father to America in 1847," that it was the town's first building with electric lights, that it has been the New Meridian Hotel and a small-town clinic, that Jerry and Sandra (McDonald) Bogner restored it in 1994, and that it went on the National Register in 1999. It says the current owners are Charles (Chuck) and Todd. It says the hotel is "known for its friendly spirits—especially the legendary 'Alice.'" That line does not say how Alice died.
The about page adds Henri John as the father's name, Anna as Nicholas's wife, a sale in 1915 to Mr. and Mrs. Hoig, the New Meridian name in 1923, the New Meridian Clinic/Sanatorium in 1940, Dr. Wiebelhaus until 1962, then Dr. Swift. The Wiebelhaus sentence, as printed, does not give him a verb. It says the hotel "has had several accounts of paranormal activity, most famously a lady by the name of Alice who is said to have passed during childbirth. She roams around looking for her baby. All the entities here are friendly and mean no harm." "Is said" is the page's. It does not name the person who says it, and it does not print a year for the death. The about page also says there are 9 themed rooms, each with one queen bed and a private bathroom, and that the hotel is pet and children friendly. Chuck's father Todd is partial owner, his mother Esther is the manager, and his brother Darrian is the kitchen manager. The homepage's rooms line prints "rom" where this page prints rooms, and it prints "uniquiely." The room count on both pages is 9.
KETV's list, updated September 3, 2026, says the bed and breakfast in Crofton "is said to be haunted by a young girl who died in the basement," that the hotel was featured on Ghost Hunters, and that there have been reports of doors opening and things moving on their own. It does not print Alice, childbirth, or a baby. The hotel pages I opened do not print a basement death, a girl, or Ghost Hunters. Those are two stories. They are not one sentence.
A Commons description says the hotel is at the northeast corner of Kansas and West 3rd Streets and that it was built in 1912. The site says 211 W. Kansas and 1912. The site does not print West 3rd. The file description is not a second address on the hotel's site.
Visit: 211 W. Kansas Street, Crofton, NE 68730, on the line that spells Nebraska. The other block spells Nevraska. (605) 846-5860. stayattheargo.com. One link on the contact page shows that number and points at tel:+44555000015. Restaurant hours, checked in October 2026, are the overlapping Sunday clocks, dinner Monday and Wednesday, kitchen closed Tuesday, dinner Friday and Saturday. The about page says management is available 24 hours by phone when away from the desk. Alice's childbirth is the about page's "is said." The basement girl and Ghost Hunters are KETV, September 3, 2026, and that list does not print the name Alice.
Midwest Theater, Scottsbluff
The Midwest Theater will sell you a movie ticket on a posted night, and the box office has a weekday clock that is not the same as the event clock. A ghost-tour page still on the site names Miss Bish as the main ghost. That page is marked expired, and the date on it is October 31, 2024. The October 2026 calendar I opened does not list a ghost tour.
The contact page says the box office phone is 308-632-4311. It says "Open at 10am (Tue-Fri)" and, under that, "Our hours are: Tuesday - Friday 10am - 3pm." A directions block on the same page says "Box Office opens 45 min before events." The about page repeats the 45-minute line and does not print Tuesday through Friday, 10 to 3. October 4, 2026, is a Sunday. The Tuesday-through-Friday office clock does not cover it. The homepage calendar I opened does not list a show that Sunday. The next date on that calendar is Friday, October 9, 2026, Buddy, at 1:30 p.m. and at 7:00 p.m., at 1707 Broadway, Scottsbluff, NE. November 20, 2026, The Postman Always Rings Twice, is also printed at 1:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Other dates run through April 17, 2027, and the text I opened does not put a clock on every one of them. The public door is a posted show, not a daily walk-in, and it is not the expired ghost tour.
The street line on the contact page and the about page is "1707 Broadway Scottsbluff, NE," with no ZIP. Mail is a different line: PO Box 276, Scottsbluff, NE 69361. The email line prints "admin@" and then "(admin@midwesttheater.com)," and a second line prints "midwesttheater.com (admin@midwesttheater.com)." The address inside the parentheses is the one that is complete. The about page's browser title reads "Historic Midwest Theater - Opened On May 3, 1946." The body I opened does not repeat May 3. The Commons description of the building says it was constructed in 1946. The about page names an executive director, Krista Baird, and a board. It does not attach any of those names to a ghost.
The ghost-tour page says the theater is "Historically Haunted," that staff and volunteers have had encounters, "strange noises, electrical interference, and the feeling of a presence," and that the tour goes from the lobby to the auditorium and into the basement. "You'll learn about our main ghost, Miss Bish, and the other spirits that have been felt to wonder the theater." Wonder is the page's spelling. On special nights, it says, "The Hippie Witch" brings ghost-detecting equipment. The dates on that page are October 12, 17, 19, 26, and 31, and the date field reads "Oct 31, 2024" and "Expired!" Halloween-night admission on that page is $5, or $2 for non-members and $1 for members with a ticket to Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Those prices sit on an expired 2024 page. The 2026 calendar I opened does not reprint them.
Irene North, on her own site, October 20, 2022, writes that the Midwest Theater has reportedly three ghosts and that only one has been "identified." She names Miss Bish, and a caption on that page reads "Hubert Clair Bishop – AKA Miss Bish. Nebraska State Historical Society." She writes that she spent months researching Bish's life and wrote an article for the Scottsbluff Star-Herald. I did not open that Star-Herald article. An AP News page titled as an archive of "The Great Miss Bish" would not load past a security check. The theater page does not print Hubert Clair Bishop. North's page does. The theater page does not print the number three. North's page does.
Visit: 1707 Broadway, Scottsbluff, NE, on the contact page, which does not print a street ZIP. Mail: PO Box 276, Scottsbluff, NE 69361. (308) 632-4311. midwesttheater.com. Box office, checked in October 2026: Tuesday through Friday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and, on the same page, 45 minutes before events. The homepage lists shows from October 9, 2026, into 2027. Miss Bish is the ghost-tour page, marked expired, October 31, 2024. The 2026 calendar I opened does not list that tour. North's Bishop line is her site, October 20, 2022, not the theater page, and not a Star-Herald article I opened.
How to use this
Start with the door that matches the week you are actually having. Joslyn Castle is (402) 595-2199, at 3902 Davenport Street, Omaha, NE 68131. The tours page is noon on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, no public tours Tuesday or Saturday, $20 or $17, elevator out of service, Carriage House Café Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The homepage adds 10:45 a.m. on Sunday and Monday and two extra Friday times, and it does not print the price. A twelve-digit clump, 402205952199, is printed beside the phone on the tours page. A footer prints 4025952199. October 4, 2026, is a Sunday, so those two tour pages do not put you in the same morning. October 12, 2026, is Columbus Day, and both pages say major holidays without listing them. Aliano's raking, and the stories of Sarah Joslyn she had heard, are the KETV page updated October 13, 2025, which places the account in 1992. Kent's "Get Out," the humming, and the dark mass are FOX 42, October 30, 2014, and he is the one who says he classifies the castle as haunted. The 2026 KETV list adds homeowners, an adopted daughter, and a woman in white, and it names neither Aliano nor Kent. Scary on the Prairie, on the homepage, is a storytelling event, and that block does not print a date. The Museum of Shadows is (402) 885-7557, at 1110 Douglas St., Omaha, NE 68102, Wednesday through Sunday 2 p.m. to 10 p.m., $25, and the sit-challenge line says open daily and does not print a price. The homepage says over 5,000 verified haunted artifacts, and it says both "one of the most haunted" and "the most haunted." Omaha Magazine, April 29, 2021, byline "by user," says about 3,000, $15, an extra $10 to sit, $40 to hunt after 10 p.m., and a June 2020 move into the Specht building. Nate's 2006 aberration is a Grand Island house in that story, not Douglas Street. KETV's 2026 list inserts "the" into the museum's name. The 2012 photograph says SPECHT and Julia Russell, Suite 101. The Crook House is (402) 455-9990. The event pages say 5730 N 30th St. The hours footer says 5730 N 30 St., Building #11B, and calls that line the main office. Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., weekends 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., adults $10, or $12 in the holiday paragraph that says "Otherwise." The hours page has no ghost. May 21, no year, passed, $30, "paranormal evening tour," Jamie Nestroyl. August 27, 2026, passed, $30 plus tax, and that page says it is not a ghost hunt. Neither page prints the account he is there to tell. The Argo is (605) 846-5860, at 211 W. Kansas Street, Crofton. One address block spells Nevraska. Sunday's restaurant clocks overlap. Tuesday the kitchen is closed. The about page says management is available 24 hours by phone when away from the desk. Alice, childbirth, and the baby are the about page's "is said." KETV, September 3, 2026, says a young girl died in the basement and that the hotel was on Ghost Hunters, and it does not print Alice. The contact page shows (605) 846-5860 and one of the links points at tel:+44555000015. The Midwest Theater is (308) 632-4311, at 1707 Broadway, Scottsbluff, with no street ZIP on that line. Mail is PO Box 276, Scottsbluff, NE 69361. Tuesday through Friday the box office is 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and the same page says it opens 45 minutes before events. October 9, 2026, Buddy is at 1:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Miss Bish is the ghost-tour page, expired, October 31, 2024, and the page spells "wonder." The $5, $2, and $1 prices are on that expired page. Irene North, October 20, 2022, names Hubert Clair Bishop and says she wrote a Star-Herald article. That article did not get opened for this draft. The about-page title says the theater opened May 3, 1946. The body I opened does not repeat the day.
If a guide adds a ghost this research did not find on the venue's site or in the news pieces cited below, enjoy it as a story and leave it there.
These five doors are not in one town. Compact binoculars and a Nebraska road atlas are the practical extras if you are driving between them.
