Bloody Benders Museum

platialUser:jweaver — 2008-10-24 08:05:26.615021+00:00

So provocative was the Bender family atrocities that a special museum was established in Cherryvale for the Kansas State-wide Centennial Celebration in May of 1961. It featured an exact reconstructed replica of the Bender building and housed antiques and household items of the Bender days. In the first three days of its opening, the museum attracted approximately 2,150 visitors from many states and Canada. It operated until 1978 and was closed when the city decided to built a fire station at the site. It was bought by an individual who wanted to place the building on Cherryvale’s Main Street, but the plan was axed by city officials. The building code prohibited wooden frame structure from being placed within the fire limits of Main Street. Some proposed it be relocated behind the Cherryvale Museum, but due to the fact that over a 1.200 visitors came during summer months, parking would be a problem there. The Bender museum had become a point of controversy in Cherryvale. Some of the townspeople objected to the town being known as the place of such tragic happenings. They were anxious to preserve the good and well-merited name of their town. The museum building and its contents was again sold to Denis R. Ast, a Cherryvale resident and operator of an auction service. He moved it seven miles west on US 160 to the Dennis corner, then a mile south and 1 ¼ miles west to the property where Mr. Ast had his sale barn. The site was within three miles of the original Bender killing site and only a few hundred yards from the new Army Corp of Engineers' Big Hill Lake recreational area. The lake was nearing completion and scheduled to be filled by June,1981. Completion date of the entire project with picnic and camp sites was June of 1982. The relocated museum plan fell through. It is believed it later was used as pool/recreation room. Southeast Kansas may be the only place anywhere where mass murders are marked in both a topographical and celebratory manner. The two prehistoirc Indian promontories north of US 160 are now known as the "Bender Mounds." The City of Cherryvale, after the removal of its successful Bender Museum in 1978, had for several years an annual “Bender Days” event. Cherryvale Museum The Cherryvale Museum is itself the dream of a woman who lived here when she was a little girl. Opal Conduitte moved with her parents to Florida, and when she died in 1964, her husband, Clarence E. Evans, notified the people of Cherryvale that his wife had willed valuable antique pieces of glass and china and early Americana to found a museum. The 1927 SWBT office building was purchased with funds from a membership drive. One of the prized items include the Martha Washington plate given to Martha by the Dutch East India Company when herMartha Washington Plate husband, George Washington, was president of the United States. The only other surviving piece frin a set of12 can be found in the Smithsonian Institute. The infamous "Bloody Benders" murder hammers and other Bender memorabilia are also displayed. The front room of the museum is known as the Opal Evans Parlor. The room at the rear is called the Hibbard memorial Room and displays items once belonging to the S.L. Hibbard family. Over the years, gifts to the museum have been many. In addition to the fine collections, the Museum also displays a clock with wooden works, a spinning wheel, framed sketches of the Bender Family, antique furniture, a silver water tanker and tumbler, vintage clothing, many Cherryvale photographs and much more. Special exhibits are shown monthly throughout the season. To celebrate Cherryvale's 100th birthday in 1971, a "Time Capsule" was encased outside to be opened during the 200th year celebration in 2071. Free Admission April to October - Sunday, 2:00 to 4:00 pm, or by appointment. 215 East 4th Street 620 336-3576 Little Know Fact- The Independence Historical Museum, Independence Ks. In the "Antique Barber Room" at the Museum, look carefully and you will find a small silver antique cash register. Read the display tag and you will discover the cash register was used by the Bender family at Bender's Inn. Creepy !

Villisca Axe Murder House

platialUser:echinodermata — 2006-03-23 11:54:29.82097+00:00

In the early morning hours of June 10th 1912, in a small white house in Villisca, Iowa, the lives of the eleven people above became forever entwined. Eight were buried a few days later, the victims of one of the grisliest unsolved murders of our nation. The remaining three spent the rest of their lives trying to prove their innocence in the crime. Ninety three years later, the unsolved murders remain a part of Villisca's past that continues to haunt its future.

Capitol tunnels

platialUser:midnightsociety — 2006-06-21 12:59:07.568891+00:00

From VTunderground.com's Mike: "When I was growing up in Richmond, I always heard stories about tunnels running under Capitol Square. Supposedly they connected the state Capitol building with the Govenor's Mansion, and even ran all the way to MCV. MCV students would even hide cadavers down there, if the old legends are to be believed. Well, the tunnels are real, I've explored them. I have a pile of photos, I just can't post them on my website (for obvious reasons). They do connect the Capitol and the Govenor's Mansion, as well as a lot of other buildings in that area. And they DO run to MCV. Actually, I've seen the master tunnel map, and the tunnel network is VERY extensive. Security is tight, of course, including locked gates and security cameras. No cadavers though."

Brown Palace

platialUser:lindy1104 — 2009-09-01 11:22:34.59591+00:00

The distinguished Brown Palace Hotel & Spa has been open every day since Aug. 12, 1892. Living History Brown Palace Hotel --- (From the Brown Palace website) The Brown Palace is so luxurious you'll wish you could spend an eternity here. As it happens, some of our guests have. When one thinks about all the people who have walked the halls and dined at the tables of The Brown Palace Hotel during the past century, it seems only natural to assume that a few "spirits" may have lingered behind. Could there be a more sublime place to spend an eternity than within the beauty of this triangular-shaped, architectural gem? In truth, The Brown Palace's ghosts are few, and none seem to represent those who played strong roles in its life. None of the apparitions claim to have met Henry Brown, the founder and builder, or Augusta Tabor who lived in the hotel for a few unhappy years following her divorce from the Silver King. Although the "Unsinkable" Molly Brown took singing lessons in Room 629 while she was in Denver, there have been no haunting melodies emerge from within its walls since then. But there have been ghostly encounters and sightings of spirits that illustrate mortal life in an urban hotel, giving us a glimpse of the people and events throughout the last 100 years. • There are commonly reports of feminine laughter and chatter in the eighth-floor hallway outside present-day Room 804, which was originally part of the ballroom. One supposes these to be Victorian young ladies, en route to powder their noses, giggling about the eligible men who'd escorted them to the ball. • Once a bellman delivering morning newspapers to upper-floor rooms found some of the papers stolen from his cart. A few minutes later, he encountered an apparition dressed in an old-fashioned uniform. He was so frightened that he quit the next day. • Recent sightings by hotel employees have also involved a spirit in uniform. He has been seen outside The Brown Palace Club dressed in his "conductor's uniform." The hotel originally housed the ticket office for the Rock Island Railroad, so it seems plausible that a mortal conductor might have once walked these halls. When sighted, this spirit merely disappears through the wall. • A maintenance man was recently called to Room 523, in which the guest complained that the room was too hot. He was met at the door by a pale, old woman wearing a long, black flowing gown, who responded to his question about the problem. When he'd adjusted the controls, he turned to tell her that everything should be fine, and she was nowhere to be seen. He called the front desk to report that the job was complete, and asked if they could let the guest know when she returned. There was a long pause before the desk clerk answered, "That room is unoccupied." • A telephone operator had two encounters with an unseen wraith. Twice, when she took off her coat to hang it in the closet, she turned from the door and felt something tugging at her skirt. Believing she'd caught it in the door as she closed it, she turned back to free it. The door was tightly shut and her skirt was not restrained by it. Other operators have reported seeing a woman in an old-fashioned pink formal walk through their space and disappear into the wall. A man in Victorian evening clothes made the same passage at other times. • Prior to the main dining room being renamed Ellyngton's, this restaurant space was known as the San Marco Room, home to big bands and later, the San Marco Strings. One evening, a houseman went to investigate sounds coming from the dining room. Upon entering, he discovered a quartet of formally dressed musicians practicing their music. The houseman was not amused, as it was long past closing time. "You're not supposed to be in here," he said. They replied, "Oh, don't worry about us. We live here." • Room 831 has a resident spirit who likes to sit upon the couch and cause doorstops to fly out from beneath the door jam. • But the most sophisticated prank was played by the ghost of the woman who lived and died in Room 904. Mrs. Crawford Hill (Louise) was the undisputed queen of Denver society. Her glamorous life story ended with heartbreak and resulted in her living the last 15 years of her life in Suite 904. While conducting a "lovers and scandals" tours of the hotel, the historian began with Louise's story. After these new tours first began, the switchboard was inundated with calls from Room 904. When answered, there was only static on the line. How could this be happening? An extensive renovation was underway on the 9th floor, and her old apartment had been stripped of furniture, carpeting, wallpaper, lights, wires — and telephones. When Mrs. Hill's saga was dropped from subsequent tours, the calls ceased.
