Gargoyle Home

Atchison, Atchison County, Kansas
AKA: Waggener House

Did the former owner make a pact with the Devil to gain his wealth?

The Waggener house was built between 1884-1885 by B.P. Waggener, a politician and lawyer in late 1800s Atchison, Kansas. Gargoyles were included in the structure of the house, some say as an item of decor, others claim that Waggener added the Gargoyles to honor a deal he made with the devil to become a man of wealth and power. Anyone who has tried to remove the Gargoyles has met a dark fate, one falling to his death on the staircase. The house is listed on the National Historical Register. The house has been investigated a number of times and confirmed actively haunted.
