THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Built in 1836, the Walker House is Wisconsin's oldest surviving stone inn and has long been associated with paranormal activity. Guests and investigators have reported apparitions, phantom footsteps, unexplained voices, and objects moving on their own throughout the historic building.
The magnificent stone hotel and restaurant dates back to the 1800s. It is said that the hauntings here may stem from a man during that century who was hanged from a tree outside by an angry mob after he stole a horse from his neighbor. Witnesses to the hauntings have seen floating heads and felt cold gusts, and the mischievous spirit is said to play tricks such as locking employees in the walk-in freezer.
