One of Topeka's most popular ghost stories involves an albino woman who lived there for years. Before her death in 1963, the Albino Woman liked to wander Topeka at night, or glare at children boarding school buses, according to neighbors. Of course, shortly after her death, the stories began popping up, including sightings of her ghostly figure walking around North Topeka, specifically in Rochester Cemetery.

Employees of a nearby tire factory witnessed her figure on multiple occasions, and some of her neighbors claimed they saw her at least once a week. One person's house in particular seemed to be the focus of her attention, and it began walking closer and closer to the man's house and pausing. Eventually, it paused for a long while and watched through the window as his children slept. It eventually left them alone. Spooky!
