The Sallie House was built originally during the turn of the century and was the home and practice of a physician in Atchison. Sallie, a six-year-old girl, was brought in by her mother and the doctor diagnosed her with appendicitis. Believing that Sallie’s appendix would burst, he started operating before anesthesia fully took effect. Sallie died with her last memories being that of a man who she thought was torturing her. The house today is one of the most haunted in the United States. Visitors can take a self-guided or guided tour of The Sallie House, or even stay overnight.
