THE STORY
Reported Haunting
RavenHearse Manor, the historic 1884 R.A. Park home in Atchison, is associated with reports of lingering former residents. One recurring story describes a young woman in a yellow Victorian dress seen watching from an upper window, an apparition the owners call "Dea."
The grand Victorian residence at 517 Parallel Street was built in 1884 and is now known as RavenHearse Manor. Atchison tourism material describes the mansion as one of the city's haunted homes and records accounts of a young woman in a yellow Victorian dress staring from the highest window. The owners call the apparition "Dea" and attribute other unexplained occurrences in the house to her presence. The property has hosted historic-house tours, paranormal-themed events and haunted-tour programming. It is private property except when opened for scheduled tours or events.
