Not far from the northern Kansas town of Hanover stands an old ramshackle building, known as the Hollenberg Station and it was once the largest stop along the famed Pony Express route. Not only is this building the only one of the old pony express stops that remains unaltered today but it also is believed to be unique for another reason. It is said that the old building also holds the ghosts of the young riders who rode across the prairie, carrying the mail from one destination to the next.
