Wild Bill Bar
Investigated on
The Wild Bill Bar and Trading Post occupies a two-story brick and stone building originally home to the infamous Saloon #10. In 1876, Wild Bill Hickok was killed here by Jack McCall during a card game. The original structure burned down, rebuilt multiple times due to frequent fires. Eventually, fire-resistant materials were used to prevent further destruction. By the late 1800s, the current building was established. When prostitution ended in 1980, the second floor was abandoned. Eventually Wild Bill Casino created an interpretive museum on the remodeled second floor. Today Wild Bill’s Bar and Trading Post provides event space, a small theater upstairs, and attracts a broader range of visitors.
Employees regularly experienced footsteps from the vacant second floor, especially during the Casino era. Shadow figures, apparitions, and perfume scents indicated spirits of former prostitutes upstairs. An employee encountered a child’s ghost, briefly appearing before vanishing. On the ground floor, a hostile male spirit physically attacked one employee, pinning them against a wall. Local paranormal investigators recorded prominent voices, whispers, unusual sounds, and strong electromagnetic activity. Another investigator heard a clear whisper directly into his ear in an empty room. Multiple recorders captured identical disembodied voices simultaneously.
