Paranormal Pursuit
Explore the haunted history, chilling legends, and unexplained stories of Independence with Visit Independence’s Paranormal Pursuit Passport—an interactive journey through places where history may still linger. Visit each location, check in along the way, earn points, and unlock prizes as you pursue the paranormal across the city.
From historic homes to sites with tales of ghostly encounters, mysterious happenings, and spirits that may have never left, Paranormal Pursuit invites you to discover a different side of Independence. Hear stories passed down through generations, uncover local legends, and learn about the people and events behind some of the city’s most intriguing paranormal tales.
Whether you’re a seasoned ghost hunter, a history lover, or simply curious about what might be lurking beyond the veil, there’s a story waiting for you at every stop.
But don’t wait—the spirits won’t linger forever. Paranormal Pursuit is a limited-time passport available only September 23 through November 6, 2026. Once the veil closes, so does your chance to complete the pursuit.
*Please Note: The Paranormal Pursuit Passport is a free, self-guided digital pass featuring 13 locations throughout Independence. Hours and admission fees vary by location, and some stops do not require admission, so we recommend checking each location’s website before your visit. You do not need to enter a location to check in on the passport, but we encourage you to step inside, explore and experience the stories for yourself.
