Green Bay, Wisconsin · Hotel
Guests at Green Bay's Astor House are said to encounter Dr. Julius Bellin in the parlor during the early morning. The brief account submitted to HauntedPlaces.org identifies the apparition with the house's former owner; the parlor, rather than a particular guest suite, is the focus of the tradition.
Lake Mills, Wisconsin · Other
Aztalan's earthworks appear in modern paranormal folklore as a place of unusual sounds and fleeting sights. HauntedPlaces.org attributes such reports to spirits of the people who once occupied the settlement. That is the directory's interpretation; the account supplies neither a named witness nor an Indigenous source for the ghost tradition.
Eau Claire, Wisconsin · Other
Banbury Place's former industrial buildings generate different reports: cries and machinery-like humming in Building 13, a heavy presence in Building 4 and rushing footsteps below ground. HauntedPlaces.org also describes figures looking from windows toward the street. The reports form one complex-wide tradition, rather than separate locations for each numbered building.
Ashland, Wisconsin · Hotel
A tall figure wearing a top hat reportedly walks Hotel Chequamegon's corridors. The HauntedPlaces.org submission adds another male apparition in the bar, the unexpected scent of perfume in guest rooms, footsteps with no visible walker and voices whose source cannot be found.
Milwaukee, Wisconsin · Hotel
Brumder Mansion's ghost stories are unusually room-specific. HauntedPlaces.org places a figure called Suzanne in the Gold Suite, another presence in George's Suite and further apparitions around the upstairs rooms and basement theater. Visitors and investigators also report voices on recordings and unexplained shapes in photographs, with the Blue Room singled out as active.
Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin · Other
Molly, said to have lived above the Showboat Saloon, is the name attached to its ghost lore. HauntedPlaces.org describes voices by the stage, old-fashioned figures glimpsed in mirrors and unexplained chills below stairs. Cellar kegs are also reported to shift without an apparent person moving them.
Green Lake, Wisconsin · Cemetery
Dartford Cemetery's reports include shadowy figures, unexplained sounds and the feeling of being watched among the graves. HauntedPlaces.org describes apparitions interpreted as Civil War soldiers and members of a buried family. A separate firsthand photo account describes an unexpected mist, illustrating how visitors continue to add their own experiences to the cemetery's lore.
Racine, Wisconsin · Other
A figure seen in the DeKoven Center's corridors and basement is sometimes identified with James DeKoven, the former headmaster. The HauntedPlaces.org submission links that apparition with his death at the old college, though the identification remains part of the local ghost story rather than a demonstrated explanation.
Brookfield, Wisconsin · Other
When the Dousman inn was moved to its museum site, local lore says its ghosts traveled with it. HauntedPlaces.org records doors slamming, a dark figure pacing upstairs and people feeling an unseen shove. The story concerns the relocated historic inn, rather than a separate haunting at each of its addresses.
Superior, Wisconsin · Other
Fairlawn's most misleading apparition is said to look like a museum guide in period dress until visitors notice the chill around her. HauntedPlaces.org also records children seen or heard near the former basement pool. Those stories echo the mansion's later use as a children's home, without identifying any particular child.
Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin · Cemetery
HauntedPlaces.org's account of Forest Hill Cemetery in Wisconsin Rapids describes crying from the infant burial area and voices apparently calling visitors by name. People also report figures among the graves and equipment failing near a particular monument. This is the Wisconsin Rapids cemetery, not the similarly named Madison burial ground.
Milwaukee, Wisconsin · Cemetery
Among the monuments of Milwaukee's Forest Home Cemetery, visitors have described oppressive sensations and disturbing visions of damaged coffins or human remains. HauntedPlaces.org collects these accounts as part of the burial ground's reputation. The reports concern perceived sights and feelings, not evidence that actual graves were disturbed.
Mukwonago, Wisconsin · Other
At Fork in the Road, the older tavern seems to survive in sound. HauntedPlaces.org records footsteps and the clacking or rolling of unseen pool balls. Storage areas have their own reports of drifting vapor and disembodied voices. The former name, Inn the Olden Days, belongs to this same Mukwonago building.
Glenbeulah, Wisconsin · Cemetery
Glenbeulah's Walnut Grove Cemetery has accumulated stories of a luminous grave, a mysterious pair of shoes appearing at another grave and a man's late-night apparition. HauntedPlaces.org attributes the figure to a tragic local tale; the reported sights, rather than a verified death narrative, are the basis of this profile.
Oshkosh, Wisconsin · Theater
Percy Keene, a longtime employee, is said to keep attending Oshkosh's Grand Opera House after death. HauntedPlaces.org describes a smiling figure with round spectacles, unexplained footfalls and apparitions sitting beside theatergoers. The theater's cast of reported spirits even includes a dog.
Wausau, Wisconsin · Theater
A former manager is said to have stayed on duty at Wausau's Grand Theater. HauntedPlaces.org records sightings of his apparition alongside unexplained sights and sounds in the performance venue. The account does not identify the manager or supply enough detail to attach a definite biography to the ghost.
Green Bay, Wisconsin · Other
An elderly conductor is said to appear in Green Bay's former Chicago and North Western depot. HauntedPlaces.org records other figures in period clothing, objects changing position and an unexpected train whistle. The story belongs to the historic depot that formerly housed Titletown Brewing, rather than the brewery's newer premises nearby.
Kenosha, Wisconsin · Other
At the Hale-Farr House, the Women's Club's historic home, members and guests reportedly hear a bell and footsteps with no visible cause. HauntedPlaces.org also records an apparition of a woman wearing clothes from an earlier period. The account offers no confirmed name for the figure.
Appleton, Wisconsin · Other
Hearthstone's quietest resident is said to be former owner A. W. Priest. According to the accounts collected by HauntedPlaces.org, staff greet him when opening the museum. An unexplained sneeze and the sensation of being watched are the distinctive details of this otherwise understated house haunting.
Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin · Other
During renovation of the Sheeley House, an owner reportedly could not hide painted roses beneath fresh primer: the old foyer mural kept showing through. HauntedPlaces.org also tells of footprints appearing on newly stained stairs the following day. These small disturbances underpin the former boarding house's lingering reputation.
Kenosha, Wisconsin · Other
Stories about the former girls' school at Kemper Center focus on nuns who seem to remain at their posts. HauntedPlaces.org records ghostly sisters appearing at the windows. The Durkee Mansion and connected school complex are treated here as one location, rather than separate entries for each building's legend.
Oconomowoc, Wisconsin · Cemetery
La Belle Cemetery's best-known legend is tied to a statue of a young woman beside a cross. HauntedPlaces.org retells claims that a figure leaves the monument and enters the lake, while another version says the statue's hands bleed. These are cemetery legends rather than events established by historical records.
Manitowish Waters, Wisconsin · Other
A civilian killed during the 1934 FBI confrontation with John Dillinger's gang is said to linger at Little Bohemia. The account submitted to HauntedPlaces.org describes unexplained sounds, apparitions and furnishings or personal belongings changing position. The haunting is attached to the lodge itself, distinct from the documented shootout.
Menomonie, Wisconsin · Theater
Mabel Tainter's name lives on in the theater her parents established, and local accounts imagine her still visiting it. HauntedPlaces.org describes figures watching performances, sound equipment apparently being disturbed and an unexplained light moving about a storage area. The tradition includes several unidentified presences as well as Mabel herself.
