The Ellis Railroad Museum is described as a Class IV haunted location, featuring residual and intelligent activity, including unexplained knocking, objects moving, and the appearance of a shadowy figure watching from the depot windows, with potential ties to spirits connected to the historical railroad artifacts and the building's history, including a period as a jail cell in its basement. Reports of disembodied voices, doors opening or closing, and physical phenomena like knocking or moving objects occur. A shadowy figure has been reportedly seen watching from the depot windows, especially at night. A yellow caboose on the grounds has experienced unexplained movement. The museum's many artifacts, such as uniforms, tools, and personal belongings, are believed to act as spiritual anchors, drawing energies and spirits to the location. Spirits of individuals connected to the historical railroad, their belongings, and artifacts may linger in the museum. One theory suggests a connection to a spirit named Perkins, whose presence is possibly felt within the museum. The basement, which once served as a jail cell, may hold residual energy from its former use. The dolls on display in the upstairs exhibits are mentioned as a specific area where activity has been documented.
