Paranormal: The Sallie House


We explore narratives of a child ghost haunting The Sallie House in Atchison, Kansas. We dive into the Finney family history and discuss Debra Pickman’s ghost memoir, The Sallie House: True Story, which outlines her year-long accounts of living with “Sallie” and the alleged ghost’s temperamental attitude and violent attacks on her husband, Tony Pickman. We conclude with the business of ghost tourism.
