The Fort Sidney Museum's Post Commander's Home is considered a haunted location due to the reported ghost of a young officer's wife who died in 1885 after falling down the stairs. Witnesses claim to hear footsteps on the stairs, followed by a fall, even after the stairs were boarded up and later restored with access blocked. The story centers on a young officer's wife who tragically broke her neck after falling down the stairs in 1885. Her husband ordered the stairs to be boarded up, but the activity reportedly continued. In the present day, visitors and witnesses have heard sounds of someone walking up and down the stairs, followed by the distinct sound of a fall. The stairs were discovered and restored in 1975, but access to them is now blocked. The Post Commander's Home is a meticulously furnished part of the Fort Sidney Museum, offering a glimpse into life at the fort between the 1860s and 1890s. Fort Sidney (originally Sidney Barracks) was established in 1867 to protect railroad track layers and was named after Sidney Dillon, an attorney for the Union Pacific Railroad.
