Some haunted houses whisper. Others clap.
In Topeka, Kansas, a family nicknamed their resident spirit “Fred.” Decades earlier, a man who lived there wasn’t allowed to drink inside the house. He’d sit in his car at night with the radio on — until one night his heart gave out. His wife found him dead in the car.
Years later, a twelve-year-old living in that same home began sensing a presence. One morning, after staying up late watching The Conjuring, he rushed to get ready for school when he heard two sharp claps echo from the dark entryway — identical to the chilling scene in the movie. He froze, peered around the corner… no one there. His parents joked that it was just Fred telling him to hurry up so he wouldn’t miss the bus.
That same storyteller later attended Benedictine College in Atchison — widely called the most haunted town in Kansas. One night, while driving past the infamous Sallie House, he snapped a photo of the dark home. In the top-left window, the image revealed a blurry figure of a woman watching the street. His friend, seeing it with his own eyes, slammed on the gas to get away.
Whether it’s a protective spirit named Fred or the ominous figure in the Sallie House window, these encounters prove Kansas has hauntings that are as real as they are chilling.
