Hotel Josephine-Most HAUNTED hotel in Kansas

Hotel Josephine-Most haunted hotel in Kansas
The Hotel Josephine has a rich history - and a haunted one.
Built in 1890, the Hotel Josephine - which is located at 501 Ohio Ave., just one block off the town square in Holton, Kansas - is considered the longest consecutive running hotel west of the Mississippi. Owner Sarah Fox - whose family has owned Hotel Josephine for the past year - said the establishment has only ever been closed for one year, 2010, due to tax issues.
In a look back at the beginning, Hotel Josephine was built by A. D. Walker in 1889 and was named after his daughter, Josephine. She was born Sept. 19, 1889 and when the hotel opened she was 4 months old. Josephine attended Holton schools and graduated Kansas University. Her graduation photograph graces wall in the front parlor, above the antique piano -her spirit is just one possibly wandering the hotel.

Fun fact, my family managed this hotel when I was younger. It's so crazy to see other people experiencing and investigating the crazy paranormal activity that I experienced every day as a young child. I remember I was playing with my younger siblings in the basement one day and my hair was pulled back so hard that I started crying and ran upstairs to get my mom. That was the only time something ever physically made contact with me and my family. Everything else was either visual or verbal. Things like shadows walking down the halls, strange knocks coming from the inside of the empty rooms, whispers, and laughs so loud it sounded like they were right next to you. This hotel was only the beginning of my beliefs in life after death.

Wow!! Thank you so much for reaching out to us sharing your experiences you had in the hotel while growing up. I really do appreciate your insight into this. It’s a lovely place that we would like to go back and investigate fully instead of just passing through. During our visit we were on borrowed time since we had another place to get to on a timeline. Again thank you for telling us your experience…👍

Cool history of the Hotel. But that Buffalo Room was so interesting. Great video Melanie and Willie 😊 Oh ya.... can I borrow that device on my next Vegas trip 🤔 I want to know if Jeff is nearby 😈😈😈

[@thecoloradotravelers7212]

Yeah it’s something about that Buffalo room that’s unusual for sure.. That device is known for detecting Jeff’s but you have to be careful of false readings..🤣

I enjoy your channel guys. The paranormal is a serious subject matter and should be treated thusly…..I think you’re doing it right! New sub!

[@thecoloradotravelers7212]

Thank you so much BBQ!! We appreciate that a lot. Yes we’re trying so hard to do it the right way, by documenting everything and not embellishing or stretching the truth.

[@josephboley]

Wow this channel is pretty small...hope you stick with it bud. Much love from West Virginia 👍🙏😁

[@thecoloradotravelers7212]

Hey Joseph thank you so much! Yes it’s just something new that my wife and myself thought we would try.. I do have another bigger channel but it’s not this type of travel related stuff. That audience wouldn’t know how to absorb this content..🤣

[@josephboley]

@@thecoloradotravelers7212 well I really enjoy haunted type of content and it seems to be getting a lot of traction on KZbin....so please keep that in mind if you would.

[@thecoloradotravelers7212]

@@josephboley will do…👍

[@avwithhorses]

Is this location open for visitors? I lice in a town just outside of Hilton and always have sporting events there and would like to know if I could go.

[@thecoloradotravelers7212]

I believe it just been recently sold off along with all the content in it. I really don’t know if new owners are going to keep it a hotel.

[@avwithhorses]

@@thecoloradotravelers7212 well thank you, I could try and ask a friends uncle because he owns Joe's Pizza there right around the block😂

[@thecoloradotravelers7212]

Yeah it was a really cool place but they kept banker hours.. lol. It was only open for ghost hunting events and not regular stay. We just happen to book our stay right before they changed operation hours thank god…

[@avwithhorses]

@@thecoloradotravelers7212 that was really lucky!!!
