THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Employees of the Wisconsin Historical Society have reported unexplained footsteps, doors opening by themselves, and encounters with two spirits believed to linger within the historic building. The reports have become part of the institution's own local folklore.
Supposedly, the place is haunted by two ghosts. One is a man who fell asleep at his desk and didn’t wake up. The other is a man who committed suicide by falling off the third floor landing onto a marble floor (you can still see the blood in the mable on the banisters). You feel like you’re being watched. Sometimes, you hear footsteps following you in the halls. Occasionally (where the books are), you hear books being thrown onto the floor.
