Kentucky's Haunts of Owensboro Tour, led by historian and storyteller David Wolfe, is sure to make anyone believe in ghosts. With tales of Union Army soldier spirits, a mysterious Lady in White, a grieving father and his pregnant daughter, this spooky yet historical tour takes those who dare inside the rich folklore and iconic structures of downtown Owensboro, Ky.
Wolfe conducted interviews with local citizens and historians, spent hours researching downtown buildings, and then pulled it all together and came up with his Haunts of Owensboro Tour, modeled after the historic ghost tour that is such a tourist favorite in Savannah, Georgia.
On the ghost tour is the Theatre Workshop of Owensboro, the scene of a family tragedy back when it was the Trinity Church. A priest found out his young daughter was with child; angry and humiliated, he banished her from his sight. Hours later he found her body hanging from the church bell tower. Disconsolate, he then took his own life as well.
More spirits can be found at the site of Daviess County Courthouse, which was burned by Confederates in 1865. Union soldiers who occupied the old structure are said to lurk outside the current courthouse, still watchful to this day.
Even RiverPark Center is believed to have its own spirit-a Lady in White who occasionally spooks patrons of the arts.
