Washington Island - Gretchen of Range Line Road - A quite tall milkmaid at a dairy on the island.

Washington Island - Nelsens Hall and Bitters Pub - As the oldest continuously operating Tavern In the US, This place seems to be haunted by Its founder Tom Nelsen. Objects disappear and reappear in different places. A hotel guest cut short a stay after an encounter in the back ladies bathroom, and a former employee was tapped on the shoulder when building shelves in the hand dug basement. I was alone at the time, so there is no explanation for the tapping.

Waterford - Tichigan Lake Inn - This bar/restaurant is located in a resort lake area and is know to be haunted. Long time residents have been telling us about ghostly happenings since we bought this establishment seven years ago. We ourselves have witnessed apparitions and poltergeist-like activities with customers present--margarita glasses flying horizontally off a glass rack before crashing to the floor, beer tapers all turning on at once with no one nearby, blender turning on by itself and then off by itself just as the bartender is reaching to turn it off, bell in the kitchen ringing while no one is in the kitchen, footsteps heard to the upstairs followed by an apparition of a previous regular who is no longer living, etc. This establishment was erected in the 1920's and was a known Speakeasy and place for the Chicago "bosses" to wait while barrels of whiskey were hauled by horse and wagon from their still to Highway 164 at the top of the hill for shipment to Chicago. These walls do talk! The goings-on seem playful in nature but still frightening especially if one is spending the night here alone.

After work hours you can hear talking between people upstairs and downstairs. You also hear people walking up and down the staircases. During the day time many employees have lost belongings and weeks later find these belongings where they had left them before.

Waukesha - Whittier Elementary School - At this school sightings have been seen clocks stop and odors in libraries and classrooms swing open and water fountains spray water onto the floor. People have seen a little girl about 8 years old who had a heart attack in the girls bathroom in 1991, a 12 year old boy who drowned in freezing water in 2001, and a boy who was about 10 years old when he got hit by car when running out into the street to get his ball!

Wausau - Rib Mountain storage plant - One foggy night in the late evening, a couple of kids reported seeing a lady with a knife in her chest. They went closer to see what was making a loud ruckus in the second story of an abandon storage building. They climbed to the second floor and to their astonishment they found blood on the walls and a lady and her kid in the bath tub soaked in a tub of blood. knives were protruding threw various body parts and the kids started to twitch uncontrollably. They looked back after trying to leave and everything was gone. So now every night at about 12:00 on the dot you can see the boys twitching profusely and the decomposed mother and her child in a bath tub of blood. The building has been torn down but you can still see them for a brief second or two or three at exactly 12:00.

The largest of the buildings is abandoned and is the site of many frightening sightings. Several people walking through the park at dusk of later have reported feeling watched, the hairs on the backs of their necks standing up. Looking into the large picture window on the second floor, many have seen a woman in white staring down at them. The sound of coughing can also frequently be heard--undoubtedly the spirits of TB victims still coughing up blood and mucus.

Wauwatosa - Potter's Field - A mass of unmarked graves can be found in the Milwaukee County Grounds next to the soccer field. These graves belonged to the victims of TB and the residents of the "poor farm" the county ran in the twenties and thirties (possibly earlier).

West Bend - Old Holy Angels Building - In the old Holy Angels building which is now an apartment complex there has been footsteps heard walking around in the upstairs of one of the apartments and sometimes an old bell will ring (an electrically powered one) even though there is no electricity going to it and no wiring attached to it. If you'd try to pull the hammer back to ding the bell it is very hard to do it manually.

Weyauwega - Marsh Road - Studies have been conducted out on the road and have found "orbs" in pictures. - October 2004 update: The local legend behind that is one of a Goatman. Yes a goatman. Legend has it that back in the 60's or 70's maybe even earlier that there used to be a "makeout" couch located halfway down the rd. While late one night after high school prom a young couple was down there and the goatman killed them and the couch was covered with thier remains. Also a myth with the road is you can travel it one was and it will be so many miles long you can turn aroung go back to the other end and the length of the road will be dramatically different As legend has it.

Whitefish Bay - Dominican High School 3rd floor and Theater - The third floor of this High School was used as a convent for the nuns that taught there.

Whitelaw - Maplecrest Sanitarium - this place is located 1 mile north of whitelaw, in a large patch of woods. it is a 3 story, 3 wing sanitarium that has been abandoned since the 50's. Very large building, you can see the rusty water tower from the road. Beware as there are people living next to it. It is reported that you can see people staring at you from the third floor windows, and once inside, doors slam and you hear laughing. It was used as a tuberculosis hospital in the 1930's and was re-opened as a sanitarium after.

Wild Rose - Tuttle Lake - It has been told that before the property became a campsite for children and teenagers for summer vacations, the lot was owned by a farmer and his wife. It is known that the farmer went crazy when he found out that the wife was pregnant, so he drowned her in the lake, and the farmer was never seen again. Recently, two counselors from the campsite went to check on a missing camper out in the woods at night, and ran into what was an extremely bright light where they describe that they "couldn't see a thing." They said they had no choice, but to turn around because the light was blinding, and as they turned around they saw a woman run away from them. The counselors start running in a different direction...a direction that lead to the only tent on the campsite, but when they started running for the tent, they realized they couldn't find it. So, they both turned around to look and see where exactly they were when they noticed that the tent was in fact right behind them...the weird thing about this is, is that in order to end up in front of the tent, you have to cross a road, which the counselors themselves told me they "Never, ever crossed." One counselor said "We were running and running as fast as we could, and then we found ourselves in front of the tent which is impossible unless you cross the road...which we did not." Strange indeed, and it has been told that investigators had found the pregnant farmer's wife in the lake, and buried her underneath the campground. Still today, the lady remains underneath the site in body, but in soul she remains on earth. Watch out carefully for her as you visit this site.

Wisconsin Dells - The Showboat Saloon - The area directly above the bar upstairs is haunted by a past resident, who is believed to be named Molly. She opens and closes doors and plays with appliances while people are cooking in the upstairs kitchen. However, she does not seem threatening. The bar area has seen much supernatural activity too. Human forms in turn of the century clothing have materialized in mirrors, sometimes appearing to be walking along the bar toward the exit door. A strange voice has even been heard numerous times near the stage area. In the cellar, unusual cold spots are apparent, as well as kegs of beer being moved around. Employees have been known to experience feelings of nausea while in the cellar, as well as sudden anxiety. All of these events seem to take place sometime after 3:00 AM.
