Overview
The Haunted Sallie House in Atchison, Kansas
Sallie doesn’t always sell seashells by the seashore. In this case, she haunts a quaint little home, terrorizing any visitors. What once was a cute little residence is now a home of nightmares. Unfortunately for those interested in residing in this home, the house was taken off the market in 2017 and is now a haunted tourist attraction.
Hauntings at the Sallie House
Built in the 1800s, this house was once a home to the Finney family. The owner, Dr. Charles Finney, used the downstairs as his medical office, where he performed surgeries and exams. According to legend, the Sallie House is rumored to be haunted by a girl who died during an emergency appendix removal surgery. The story goes that Dr. Finney began making his first incision on Sallie before the anesthesia fully kicked in, causing her immense agony. Sallie passed away during the surgery, and she has been haunting the halls of the house ever since. Sallie was deemed the “Man-Hating Ghost,” as many male visitors have reported deep, inexplicable scratches, hearing inhuman sounds, and generally feeling extra unwelcome by this apparition. This is likely because the last person Sallie ever saw was a man who inflicted severe pain.
