It may not be the most well-known, but it’s definitely the most terrifying. With more than 3,000 certifiably haunted artifacts, the Museum of Shadows houses the largest collection in the world and even offers a ghost hunt and “Sit Challenge” that isn’t for the faint of heart.
Even Omaha has its very own Cheer-type bar, where everyone knows your name, including the ghosts. Staff and patrons have been so spooked by the lively entities that ghost hunters have been called in to identify them. From all accounts, it looks like living regulars will never be alone.
If a leisurely walk in the park is what you desire, this is not the place for you. From its earliest beginnings, Hummel Park has been the site of gruesome executions and horrific violence and is allegedly home to a group of cannibals. And did we mention the most haunted place in Nebraska is also home to the Devil Steps?
Disturbed hallowed grounds, demonic possessions, merciless deaths, and outlaws seeking revenge are the melting pot of horror that consumes this charming piece of America.
Underneath the miles of scenery, stockyards, and landmarks lies a twisted underworld that grips the city with the icy hands of its resident tortured souls. Beneath the very ground you’ll walk on is an intricate weave of underground tunnels, all used for unique purposes, each more nefarious than the last.
Venture with Omaha Ghosts to a piece of the city developed by pioneers with an appetite for all things wicked. In the early 1900s, one such unsavory character came into town with a desire to make the city his crime hub. Tom Dennison was the king of corruption, from brothels to gambling houses and a string of speakeasies.
To facilitate his transactions, the mob boss built several underground tunnels that would be filled with top-tier illegal activity, including prostitution and bootlegging. This, of course, was only the beginning. Long after his departure, the tunnels remain, as do the spirits who met gruesome ends in these dangerous burrows.
Learn more about the horrors experienced in these underground shafts and why the buildings just above them are left to deal with the aftermath. Reports of far-away voices and the unnerving sounds of banging coming from below are not uncommon. In fact, they occur at various times throughout the day…and night.
Omaha is more than just The Gateway to The West. You’re about to enter a terrifying world where the dead stalk the living in the darkest corners of their grisly demises. Warped tales and restless souls await on this spine-chilling ghost tour with Omaha Ghosts.
Discover Omaha’s Most Haunted Locations, Including:
Zak Bagan’s Haunted Museum may be well-known, but it’s certainly not the only of its kind. Step right up to the Museum of Shadows, where you’ll encounter some of the world’s most cursed items that still manage to curse others from behind their protective cases.
Experience spine-tingling chills as you approach a building rife with energy most dare not explore. The eerie tales are endless, with visitors and staff experiencing everything from disembodied voices and footsteps, the spooky sight of items moving on their own, apparitions floating throughout the building, and the terrifying experience of being scratched by the unseen.
This museum of the macabre spans two floors and features a basement that embodies our deepest nightmares. Venture with Omaha Ghosts to a building so rife with otherworldly activity that they offer ghost-hunting equipment to use while touring the museum. Learn more about the evil that dwells within these walls and what could happen if you don’t respect these excommunicated artifacts.
There’s nothing more relaxing than a peaceful stroll through the park. That is, unless it happens to be the bloodiest, most haunted park in Nebraska. With a disturbing history that dates back to the 1700s and includes a stint as a Native American burial ground, Hummel Park comes with a warning.
Omaha Ghosts introduces you to the madness of Hummel Park, the Cornhusker State’s most disturbing playground for the macabre. The entities and darkness that inhabit the park read like a menu. Learn about the group of cannibals that stalk their prey from the trees, waiting to pounce on their next meal.
Their conquests are only rivaled by the various murders that have plagued the park for decades. From serving as a dumping ground for some and a kill spot for others, for decades, the park was known for the occasional discovery of a corpse. Now, the restless spirits born from blood are said to wander the park, doomed to relive their eternal nightmare.
The darkness doesn’t end here. Are you ready to hear about the stairs that many believe lead to the abyss? Join Omaha Ghosts for a bone-chilling history lesson on the Devil’s Steps that you will never forget.

Are these spirits from the days the building operated as a hospital? Or are they visitors from the funeral home next door? Find out who or what gives residents a daily dose of chills with Omaha Ghosts.
It’s hard for the dead to rest when their hallowed grounds have been all but forgotten. Omaha may be home to the launch of “Top 40” radio, but it’s also home to an equal number of cemeteries. Be careful where you step—one may be right under your feet.
The ground that holds Omaha is filled with the bodies of those who helped establish the city, including veterans from the War of 1812, Buffalo Soldiers, and Native Americans.

As you stroll with Omaha Ghosts through a literal “ghost town,” you’ll get the full spooky scoop on one of the city’s most haunted graveyards.
The stories you’ll hear will keep you on your toes as the true events have done to employees. Staff members have said they dread going into the basement as it appears to be the home of a large ominous mass with two words for anyone invading its territory: “GET OUT!” As though ripped from the script of a horror film, witnesses claim to have had their hair pulled in the basement, and some have even become sick by simply entering the room.
