These seven made the cut. The Buffalo hotel, the Sheridan inn, the Cody hotel, the Cheyenne hotel, the Cheyenne church, the Cheyenne museum, and the Rawlins prison are real. The ghost parts are labeled as what a hotel page, a church column, a museum director in a news story, a prison director on a tourism page, or a reporter says. 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.
The Occidental Hotel, Buffalo
The Occidental will let you into the lobby without a room key. It will also, on its own FAQ, name a young ghost called Emily, and then tell you the only way to find out is to stay.
The access page says you are welcome even if you are not a registered guest. You may spend time in the lobby, the downstairs hallways, the saloon, the gambling room, and the outside beer garden. Upstairs and the rooms are off limits. Tours are the exception, and the page says to ask the desk. The tour page prices that walk at $10, by reservation only, and it starts in the lobby, goes through restored suites and rooms, and ends in the saloon. A group larger than 10 gets more than one tour. Address, 10 North Main Street, Buffalo, WY 82834. Phone, (307) 684-0451. Email, info@occidentalwyoming.com. Check-in starts at 3 p.m. Check-out is 11 a.m. Those are guest clocks. The public door is the one in the access answer.
The saloon page says bar fare and drinks daily at 2 p.m. until close. It does not print the close. It does say the saloon is smoke-free, and it points at bullet holes in the ceiling from the old barroom. That is a history paragraph. It is not the ghost FAQ.
The haunted FAQ, signed by Jasmine Wattenhofer under a date that reads Oct 3 and does not print a year, is where the hotel uses the word ghosts. "Owner, David Stewart likes to joke that the spirits you see upstairs depend on the spirits you drink down in the Saloon. Of course, many folks have claimed to see or hear ghosts during their stay, including a beloved young ghost named Emily." Then the closer: come stay and find out. The page links three outside accounts. One of them is Cowboy State Daily.
Renée Jean, Cowboy State Daily, September 16, 2023, is that account. She writes that many have retold the tale of Emily, a small child who died of cholera in the early 1900s and "is said to haunt its halls." Said to. The employees she quotes go past that name. Joel Mera, cleaning with headphones in, told her chairs seemed to move and no one was there when he looked. Penny Ramirez, a waitress at the Busy Bee Cafe next door, told her a piano key dinged in the lobby after a jam, with no one at the piano, and that she later heard her name in an empty saloon. Jean writes that the Thursday night jam runs until 9:30 p.m. The saloon page I opened does not print that jam. Vanessa Vann, who works in the bar, told Jean whiskey and wine bottles pop off the shelf or blow a cork, and that a wine glass breaks as someone sets up to pour. Nancy Lehnert, a desk clerk, told Jean a couple in the Herbert Hoover room smelled perfume the wife does not wear, and later each felt someone slide into the bed between them. Lehnert also told her about an iron in room 56 that a guest heard slide across the floor, twice. Those are the sentences Jean attributes to people who work there. I did not open a cholera record, and I am not going to treat a desk story as one.
Visit: 10 North Main Street, Buffalo, WY 82834. (307) 684-0451. occidentalwyoming.com/faqs/access. Lobby, downstairs halls, saloon, gambling room, and beer garden are open to you without a room, as posted in October 2026. Upstairs needs the $10 tour, by reservation. The saloon says 2 p.m. until close and does not say when close is. Emily is the hotel's name, and Jean's September 16, 2023, story is the one that quotes the staff.
Sheridan Inn, Sheridan
The Sheridan Inn will tell you Miss Kate is still around. It will also tell you the restaurant is closed, and then tell you the building is open from morning until 10.
The homepage prints 856 Broadway St, Sheridan, WY 82801. Contact, (307) 674-2178. Emails on that page, frontdesk@sheridaninn.com and info@sheridaninn.com. Opening hours, Monday through Sunday, 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. That is the clock under the address. It does not say those hours are a dining room.
Open Range says otherwise. "Currently Closed for Dining Experiences For events, call 307.674.2178." The same page gives the restaurant phone as (307) 675-1131 and the email openrangebarandgrill@sheridaninn.com. The body says the restaurant reopened in September 2023 under Andrew Layton and chef Jeremiah Tryon, and that it hosts events. The headline I opened says the dining room is closed. I am not going to turn 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. into a dinner reservation.
That closed page also claims a bar. It recommends a seat at the "Buffalo Bill Bar," "with the original cherrywood bar gifted to Buffalo Bill from Queen Victoria herself." Cody Yellowstone's lodging page for the Irma, which I opened separately, says the priceless cherry wood bar there is "a gift from Queen Victoria to Buffalo Bill." Two Wyoming pages, one gift. I am not going to decide which building has the bar.
Miss Kate is on the inn's own pages, and the pages do not match. The room page for Miss Kate Arnold, Room 306, says she came from Rappahannock, King George County, Virginia, in 1901, at 22, and started as a seamstress. By 1909 she had moved into the inn. She left in 1965 because it was to be torn down. She died in 1968. "Following a private service in Miss Kate's room on the third floor, her ashes were placed on a wall by a long-time friend. The exact location remains unknown today. It is said that Miss Kate is the guardian of the Inn. Her watchful presence is felt on a daily basis." Said to. Felt. The legends page calls her Catherine B. Arnold and says that in 1901 she began "working and living" at the inn. The room page puts the move-in at 1909. The legends page says that when she died in 1968, "her last request was to be returned to the Sheridan Inn and be buried in the walls of her old room on the third floor, where her ashes remain to this day." Remain, on that page. Unknown, on the room page. The legends page does not print room 306. It does say many guests and employees say her presence can still be felt. The same legends page gives Buffalo Bill an eight-year stay and auditions on the front lawn. It does not mention the Queen Victoria bar.
Visit: 856 Broadway St., Sheridan, WY 82801. Front desk, (307) 674-2178. Open Range, (307) 675-1131. sheridaninn.com. Hours on the homepage, checked in October 2026: every day, 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Open Range says the dining room is currently closed. Miss Kate is the inn's sentence. The ashes are either in a known wall or in a spot the room page says nobody can point to, depending on which inn page you read.
The Irma Hotel, Cody
The Irma's own website would not load. Cody Yellowstone will still tell you to walk in for a meal, and it will not tell you what time the kitchen stops.
irmahotel.com returned a WordPress critical error when this was checked, and a direct request came back HTTP 500. I am not going to quote a dining clock off a page that would not open. The Park County listing that did open, on codyyellowstone.org, gives the restaurant and saloon at 1192 Sheridan Ave. It does not print a city ZIP on that page. Phone, (307) 587-4221. Email, irmahotel@irmahotel.com. The copy says breakfast, lunch, and dinner, buffets every day in summer and often the rest of the year, and a porch where you can order a snack and a drink and watch the gunfighters. No open. No close.
The lodging page on the same site says the hotel welcomed guests on November 1, 1902, named by Colonel William F. Cody for his daughter, Irma, and that the dining room is where you see the cherry wood bar, a gift from Queen Victoria to Buffalo Bill. That is the bar the Sheridan page also claims. The lodging page tells you the dining room has meals. It still does not print a clock.
The ghost pages do not agree with each other either. Jackie Dorothy, Cowboy State Daily, October 27, 2025, quotes Melissa Watson, a waitress at the Irma restaurant in 1997. A well-dressed man in a fedora waited in booth three. When summer servers walked over, "nobody would be there." Older servers, Watson said, told them to leave it, because he always sits in that booth and he is a ghost. Park County archivist Robyn Cutter told Dorothy she has not had a paranormal experience herself. She told Dorothy she found articles about Frank Cunningham in 1912, a former U.S. Army soldier who "appeared to have been hallucinating and started shooting in his room." Dorothy writes that the room was Room 35, the Paul Stock Room, "where people have reported paranormal happenings," and that Cutter said reports of somebody in a U.S. cavalry uniform coincide with Cunningham. Cutter pointed Dorothy to a March 2002 Cody Enterprise story by Carole Cloudwalker. In Dorothy's summary, staff told Cloudwalker the two most haunted rooms were 18 and 35. Geny Raile, a longtime employee, "swore that Buffalo Bill himself had come up and put his arm around her shoulders." Another employee "swore that Room 16, the Irma Suite, was haunted by a rocking chair that would rock on its own," until she rubbed it with furniture polish. Watson also told Dorothy that a waitress, speaking to Watson's son a few months before the 2025 story, pointed at the table under the moose, where glasses get moved or turned upside down when nobody is looking. Reported. Swore. I did not open the 1912 newspaper or the 2002 Enterprise piece. I am not going to pretend I did.
Cody Yellowstone's own post, "The Friendly Ghosts of the Irma Hotel," is a different cast in some of the same room numbers. The byline reads Park Country Travel Council. The date on the post is September 22, 2026. The first sentence prints "Irma Hote." I am not going to fix the byline or the missing letter. The post says a cavalry soldier is said to appear around Room 35, sometimes with only the lower half of his body visible, and that some accounts identify him as a former Confederate. Dorothy's Cutter quote says U.S. cavalry and Cunningham. I am not going to merge a Confederate ghost with a 1912 U.S. Army story because both mention Room 35. The same post associates Irma Cody Garlow with Room 16, "where guests have reported seeing a woman near a rocking chair," and says Irma and her husband, Fred Garlow, died days apart in the 1918 influenza pandemic, Irma at 35. Dorothy's Room 16 is an employee's rocking chair and a can of polish, not the daughter in the chair. The post also says employees and guests have reported a Western figure believed to be Buffalo Bill near the historic rooms and the cherrywood bar, including the jingle of spurs when nobody else was around, and servers who see a person in a dining-room booth and find the table empty. Believed to. Said to. The post's own answer to "Is the Irma Hotel really haunted?" is that whether it is genuinely haunted "is up to you to decide." It also says you can visit without staying: eat at the restaurant and saloon and look at the bar. That is the public door. The hour is the part nobody printed on a page that loaded.
Visit: 1192 Sheridan Ave., as Cody Yellowstone prints it. The listing does not add a ZIP. (307) 587-4221. codyyellowstone.org restaurant listing. The hotel site itself errored in October 2026, so this clock is blank on purpose. Dorothy, October 27, 2025, is the fedora, Cunningham, and the polished rocking chair. The September 22, 2026, tourism post is Irma in Room 16 and a half-visible soldier. The Queen Victoria bar is claimed here and at the Sheridan Inn's closed restaurant page.
The Historic Plains Hotel, Cheyenne
The Plains will answer the phone all night. On the pages I opened, it will not tell you when the restaurant closes, and it will not mention Rosie.
The reservations page says the front desk is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Phone, (307) 638-3311. Email, as that page prints it, GM@THEPLAINSHOTEL.COM. Address, 1600 Central Ave., Cheyenne, Wyoming 82001. The hotel says it welcomed its first guests in 1911. A history blurb on the same site puts the idea at a $1 Industrial Club dinner in December 1909, and calls the Industrial Club "now the formally known as the Chamber of Commerce." Formally. I am leaving the adverb where the hotel put it.
The amenities page names Conestoga Restaurant and the Wigwam Lounge. Conestoga gets soups, bread, a salad bar, pasta, sandwiches, and burgers, "perfect for families, travelers, and locals." The Wigwam gets a Moscow Mule, a Bloody Mary, and a Carmeltini. Neither block prints an open or a close. Locals are invited, in that sentence. A visitor who needs a table still does not have a clock. The desk is the door that does.
The ghost is not on those pages. Cowboy State Daily's staff piece on October 27, 2021, "Way Back Wednesday Looks At Haunted History of Wyoming's Capital City," is the news account I opened. "Legend has it that at least four ghosts haunt the halls of the Plains Hotel." A double murder and a suicide, "it's said," account for three of them. A new bride, Rosie, followed her groom from the room to the bar, where he had picked up another woman, then to that woman's room, shot them both, and shot herself in the bridal suite. "Less is known about the fourth ghost," thrown from a fourth-floor window "by either a husband or lover, depending on the teller of the tale." Guests feel dread, or feel watched. "Hotel employees have admitted they hear unexplained crying, and sometimes laughter, coming from the room where the bride shot herself." Legend has it. It's said. Depending on the teller. The piece does not quote a named employee, and it does not print a room number.
KGAB, Glenn Woods, June 2, 2026, adds the number and a name the 2021 piece does not use. Woods writes that Rosie is said to haunt the fourth-floor honeymoon suite, "often referred to as Room 444," and he credits that room line to US Ghost Adventures. He also writes that employees and guests report cold spots, a tap on the shoulder, "cowboy ghosts," and "the ghost of a young girl named Emily." Emily is the name on the Occidental's FAQ in Buffalo. I am not going to treat a KGAB sentence and a Buffalo hotel sentence as the same child. The Plains site I opened does not use Rosie, 444, or Emily.
Visit: 1600 Central Ave., Cheyenne, WY 82001. (307) 638-3311. theplainshotel.com/reservations. Desk, checked in October 2026: 24 hours. Conestoga and the Wigwam are named and not timed. Rosie is the 2021 Cowboy State Daily legend. Room 444 and a girl named Emily are the 2026 KGAB piece, pinned to a ghost-tour company for the room.
St. Mark's Episcopal Church, Cheyenne
St. Mark's will hold a Sunday service you can walk into. The pastor Jimmy Orr quotes will not tell you he has seen the ghost.
The homepage says you are welcome. Sunday morning, 9:30 a.m., Holy Eucharist, with children's chapel and nursery in Reed Hall. Second Thursday, 5:30 p.m., Yoga Eucharist in the parish hall. Third Friday, 7 p.m., Taizé, doors at 6:30 p.m. Office hours, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., closed on national holidays. Address, 1908 Central Avenue, Cheyenne, WY 82001. Phone, (307) 634-7709. Email, stmark307.ad@gmail.com. The location page prints the Sunday service, the second-Thursday yoga, the address, and the phone. It also says free parking in the lot next to the church on West 19th Street, along the street, or in a lot across Central. It does not print the Friday Taizé, and it does not print the office hours. The homepage calendar, for October 7, 2026, lists men's coffee at 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. That is thirteen hours, or a midnight where a noon was meant. I am not going to decide which. The Sunday 9:30 service is the door that matches on both pages.
1908 is the street number. It is not the year Orr gives the building. Jimmy Orr, Cowboy State Daily, October 28, 2020, writes that St. Mark's was built in 1868, modeled on the church in Thomas Gray's poem, and that the ghost story "is rooted in truth" in this sense: "Elements in this story can either be independently verified or were told me to as fact." Told to him. He says that 42 years before the column he interviewed rector Eugene Todd, and that he is using an eighth-grade report, not only memory. The story Todd told him: two Swedish stonemasons, whom Todd called illegal immigrants, were hired for the tower. One fell to his death. The other, afraid and without the language, buried him in the wall and left. A later rector heard whispers, knocks, and muffled voices, moved his office, and the tower was declared off limits. In the late 1920s the tower was finished without a steeple, with bells, and with what Orr calls an extra 60 feet. Workers and churchgoers heard voices. "According to one report, someone heard a disembodied voice say 'there's a body in the wall.'" Orr then writes, "Todd didn't tell me that. Neither did Veit." I am not going to put that sentence in Todd's mouth.
The confession, as Orr says Todd told it, is 1966. Todd had been rector a year. A nursing home called. A dying man asked for the rector of St. Mark's, held Todd's hand, and said he was the mason who buried his friend in the wall. He died the next day, in the version Todd gave the seventh-grader who grew up to write the column. Orr is clear that this is Todd's telling.
Rick Veit, pastor since 2005 in Orr's column, is the skeptic on the page. "As for the ghost, Veit said, he'll believe it when he sees it." Veit told Orr there have been stories of people walking around who are not there, of voices, and of the organ playing by itself. "I am still the skeptic, however." A youth-group night, an enormous banging, "We think it was the boiler." He also said he would like to see the ghost. Orr writes that a year later Veit had nothing new to report. That is a pastor declining to swear to the tower, in a column that still calls the story wonderful. It is not a body recovered from the wall. I did not open a 1966 death record.
Visit: 1908 Central Avenue, Cheyenne, WY 82001. (307) 634-7709. stmarkscheyenne.org. Sunday Holy Eucharist, checked in October 2026: 9:30 a.m. Office, on the homepage, weekdays 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The location page leaves off the office and the Friday Taizé. Orr, October 28, 2020, is Todd's deathbed account and Veit's "I'll believe it when I see it." The line about a voice in the wall is a report Orr says neither man told him.
Cheyenne Frontier Days Old West Museum, Cheyenne
The museum will sell you a ticket seven days a week. The name Lucy, in the ghost story, comes from a guessing game in a news piece, not from a label in a case.
The plan-your-visit page says daily, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., seven days. Admission: general $15, senior or first responder or military or college student with a valid student ID $12, youth 12 to 17 $10, children 11 and under free, family $35 for two adults and three youth. Address, 4610 Carey Avenue, Cheyenne, Wyoming 82001. Phone, as the footer prints it, (307) 778-7290. A later heading on that page lists "Senior First Responder Military AAA Member College Student" and does not repeat the $12, and AAA is not in the priced line. I am not going to promise an AAA rate the price block left out. The page points at a separate link for parking during Cheyenne Frontier Days. It does not print a different museum clock for that week. I am not going to invent one.
Renée Jean, Cowboy State Daily, October 30, 2024, is the ghost piece. She writes that staff, "even the skeptics," have reported things they cannot explain after the lights are off: booted footsteps in the carriage space, and child-sized footsteps toward an old fire truck that "no matter how often they're cleaned away just keep reappearing." Mike Kassel, the director, has worked there since 2001 and became curator in 2011, Jean writes. Marty Perez of Haunting Across America told a crowd that Kassel is an absolute skeptic, and that Kassel threw a doll out and it kept returning. Kassel told Jean he believes an employee brought it back, and that nobody was caught and nobody owned up. Amanda Marshall then took the doll to her own office, and it stayed. Jean quotes Kassel on a fire door that had not worked for about a year and a half. He and a maintenance man disconnected the power, left the door open because it was hard to move, and found it closed in the morning. "The door had no power, and we were the last people there that night and the first people back there the next morning." He also told her about five hats in a sealed glass case. While the staff turned a cigar-store figure, one hat flew off its form. "Nobody was standing there." A staff member walking past a case of Thunderbirds memorabilia, he said, had the glass shatter and blow out about five feet, with an outline of the person in the glass on the floor and nothing inside the case disturbed. Kassel said tempered glass can shatter. He also said it is not typical for it to travel that far. Those are his limits, in Jean's story. He is not announcing a spirit.
Perez, in the same piece, describes a session in which Crystal Knepper kept getting the letter L, and the meters and a toy reacted when she said Lucy. Knepper added that further questions "suggested that Lucy was just 14 when she died." Suggested. Perez said Lucy stopped after a glass wall went in and shattered during the work, and that two boys in the Hole in the Wall playroom were said to have blamed the footprints on Lucy. One of the boys, he said, may have been a drowning victim. "May have been" is his. A milk jug tied to a friend named Kyle, knocks, a popcorn smell with no popcorn in the building, and a sign he said security tape showed leaving the wall are also Perez, not a curator label. I am not going to call Lucy a documented death because a meter moved when someone guessed the name.
Visit: 4610 Carey Avenue, Cheyenne, WY 82001. (307) 778-7290. oldwestmuseum.org plan-your-visit. Hours, checked in October 2026: daily, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Adults $15. The AAA word is in a heading, not in the price line. Kassel's door, hat, and glass are in Jean's October 30, 2024, story. Lucy is the investigators' guess in that story.
Wyoming Frontier Prison, Rawlins
The Frontier Prison will take you through on a guided tour, on a schedule that argues with its own header. A state tourism page will quote the director calling the place officially haunted. The prison pages I opened do not print that sentence.
The contact page says 500 West Walnut, Rawlins, WY 82301. Phone, (307) 324-4422. Email, wyomingfrontierprison@gmail.com. The header on that page, and the same header on the Halloween page and the homepage, says the museum is Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed noon to 1, and tours at 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
The homepage body is a different year. Summer, May 23 through September 7, 2026: eight tours a day, seven days a week, every hour on the half-hour from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., museum and gift shop 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. all week. September 8 through 19, 2026: seven days, 9:30, 10:30, 12:30, 1:30, 2:30, and 4:30. September 20 through 27: seven days, 9:30, 11:30, 1:30, and 4:30. "Closed on weekends beginning September 28th." September 28 through October 1, and October 5 through 8: Monday through Thursday, 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., museum 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed noon to 1, Monday through Thursday. October 4, 2026, the day this was checked, is a Sunday. Under that sentence the building is closed today, and the next history tours on the page are October 5 through 8. Then: "Tours are suspended October 12th until November 16th 2026." Halloween events, in that same paragraph, "will be held on October 23rd, 24th, and 31st, 2026."
The Halloween page does not use those three dates. It says Halloween 2026 will be October 24, 30, and 31. Tours every half hour from 7 p.m. to midnight. $20 a person, plus fees. Age 12 and up. Online reservations required. Refunds up to 7 days before. It warns about steep stairs, loud noises, lighted displays, and that you may be touched. The page calls it "the original haunt of Carbon County." That is an October fundraiser. It is not the history tour, and it is not the sentence about being officially haunted.
Prices for the history tour, on the homepage: adults $15, children ages 6 to 12 $12, seniors 60 and older $12, about an hour. "Museum exhibits are free and can be explored at your own pace. You must be on a guided tour in order to see the Prison." Free, and also not allowed in unless you take the tour. I am not going to collapse those two sentences. The page also still prints a winter schedule, November 17, 2025, through May 21, 2026, with the two weekday tour times, and says winter tours need the temperature above zero and that the site closes for winter holidays. That block is last winter, sitting on a page that also has October 2026. I am not going to send you to a winter that already ended.
Travel Wyoming's prisons post, last updated November 1, 2025, is the ghost claim. It quotes Wyoming Frontier Prison director Tina Hill: "Every paranormal investigation that we hold here comes up with some evidence, so I just tell everyone that we are officially haunted." The same post quotes her on stories from guests and staff of being touched on the shoulders or back, hair tugged, footsteps, whistling, voices, a name called, cell doors, rattling windows, benches moved, and small items misplaced and found. That is Hill, as Travel Wyoming prints her. The prison pages I opened schedule investigations only in the sense that they sell an October event and a history tour. They do not print her "officially haunted" line. Travel Wyoming's hours, on that 2025 update, are the weekday 9-to-4 museum with a noon closure and tours at 10:30 and 1:30, and it does not print the $15 or the seven-day summer. I am not going to treat the 2025 tourism clock as the 2026 homepage.
Visit: 500 West Walnut, Rawlins, WY 82301. (307) 324-4422. wyomingfrontierprison.org. Header, checked in October 2026: Monday through Thursday, museum 9 to 4 with a noon closure, tours at 10:30 and 1:30. Homepage body for this month: weekends closed starting September 28, weekday tours October 5 through 8, then history tours suspended October 12 until November 16. Halloween dates are October 23, 24, and 31 on the homepage and October 24, 30, and 31 on the event page. Adults $15 on the history tour. $20, age 12 and up, on the night event. Hill's "officially haunted" is Travel Wyoming's November 1, 2025, post, not the prison homepage.
How to use this
Start with the door that matches the week you are actually having. The Occidental access page says the lobby, downstairs halls, saloon, gambling room, and beer garden are open without a room. Upstairs is the $10 reserved tour. The saloon says 2 p.m. until close and does not print the close. Phone, (307) 684-0451. Emily is the hotel's FAQ. Jean, on September 16, 2023, quotes Mera, Ramirez, Vann, and Lehnert on chairs, a piano key, bottles, and a bed. The Sheridan homepage says 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day, (307) 674-2178. Open Range says dining is currently closed and prints (307) 675-1131. The room page says Miss Kate's ashes went into a wall and the spot is unknown, and that her presence is felt. The legends page says the ashes remain in the walls of her old third-floor room, and it says she was living there from 1901, not from 1909. Open Range claims Queen Victoria's cherrywood bar. Cody Yellowstone says that bar is at the Irma. The Irma's own site returned an error in October 2026. The Cody Yellowstone listing says 1192 Sheridan Ave., (307) 587-4221, meals, and no clock, and it does not print a ZIP. Dorothy, on October 27, 2025, quotes Watson on a fedora in a booth and Cutter on Frank Cunningham and Room 35, and she summarizes a 2002 Enterprise piece on a rocking chair in Room 16. The tourism post dated September 22, 2026, puts Irma Cody Garlow in Room 16 and a half-seen soldier, sometimes called Confederate, in Room 35. The Plains desk is 24 hours, (307) 638-3311, at 1600 Central Ave. Conestoga and the Wigwam have no hours on the page. Rosie is Cowboy State Daily's October 27, 2021, legend, four ghosts, no room number, no named employee. KGAB, on June 2, 2026, adds Room 444 and a girl named Emily and cites a ghost-tour company. That Emily is not the Occidental's Emily unless a source I did not open proves it, and I am not going to pretend one did. St. Mark's Sunday service is 9:30, office weekdays 9 to 2 on the homepage only, (307) 634-7709, 1908 Central Avenue. The location page skips the office and the Friday Taizé.
