Fort Leavenworth, a historic fort west of the Mississippi River, is known for its ghost stories. In 1880, the Settler family visited the fort, and their children, Ethan and Mary, went missing near the Missouri River. Despite a thorough search, they were not found, and Kathleen, their mother, continued searching tirelessly. After her death, the children were discovered safe with a Native American tribe and returned to their father. Kathleen's ghost is said to still search for her children, adding to the fort's eerie tales.
