"I am fascinated by history," explains Brenda, "There is so much to be learned by those who have gone before us. Being a part of the ghost tours is a great way to share these stories, since we believe that without the history, there are no haunts". Brenda and fellow Ghost Tours of Missouri guide Mitzi Miller believe that the Liberty tour is unique because of the Civil War and outlaw history. "We are thinking about naming this the 'James, Jail and Jewell' tour, since so many of our stories include the college, the James family and the courthouse" comments Mitzi. The guides don't try to talk anyone into believing in the paranormal; they simply relay the ghost stories and history associated with each location and let tour guests decide for themselves. Although private homes are not included on tours, they do visit businesses, cemeteries and other public places that may have paranormal activity. Stops on the Liberty tour include the courthouse, downtown business district, William Jewell College and the cemetery. "One of our favorite stops is at a former doctor's office," says Brenda, "the doctor used to throw body parts into the alley for the stray cats." Tours are scheduled year around, departing from the Corner Bar, 200 E. Kansas at 8 p.m. The first Liberty tour will be June 5. "People seem to think ghosts are only around at midnight on Halloween," explains Brenda, "the reality is that they are out all the time."
