Most Haunted Town/City in Wisconsin: Milwaukee |
Here are the places known for sightings in Milwaukee. I'd hate to go to the Bell Middle School at night!
~*~ FuelGirl ~*~
Bell Middle School - If you drive past Bell Middle School , you might see on the lawn of the school, a man walking with a black book bag. Whenever a car passes by and if the man hears the car, he'll stop, look on the side and down to the grass. Then, he'll continue walking. To recognize him, look for his dark black shirt, and his dark blue jeans. He has no shoes, or feet, just legs. He's totally bald and comes out after 9:00 usually. If you're lucky, he might be walking on the playground and he'll look up, then continue walking. One more thing - good luck finding him and report back if you spot him!
Cardinal Stritch University - Stritch DormsCardinal Stritch dorms used to be a place where nuns would live. In the basement of Stritch they used to keep the sickly nuns that would eventually die. Sometime after dark you can hear the nun walking around the hallways. Also in some of the rooms on 3 Center spirits will tear posters off the wall, closets will open on their own, locked doors will swing open, and random objects will be pushed off desks onto the floor. On 2 west you can hear running up and down the hall. As soon as you open your door to see who it is the running will stop. When you close your door the running will startup again.
Cathedral Mayer-Krom Building - The late nineteenth century Mayer-Krom Building at S 8th and W Mitchell Streets in Milwaukee WI 53204 is were the Milton Family are said to have been murdered Oct 3, 1943, with hauntings ever since. Hence MARS Distributing created an actual haunted house there to view each October. Their official website is: - www.marshauntedhouse.com MARS = Milwaukee Area Radio Stations.
Grand Avenue Mall - Three security guards on second shift noticed a small dark figure dancing on the second floor. When they arrived at the site, no one was around. All the doors were locked and all the exits were within the guards' view as they went to the area of the sighting.
Marquette University Helfaer Theater - The Marquette Theater is haunted by a former Artistic Director who died in Studio 13. He mostly bangs around the catwalks, and sometimes people see him in the Studio.
Marquette University Humphrey Hall - A student dormitory for Juniors and Seniors, Humphrey used to be the former Milwaukee children's hospital, and the basement was the morgue. Many children passed on in the building, and it is said several spirits still haunt the place today. Public Safety officers have reported seeing children on the camera monitors, and students have reported hearing singing, laughing, crying, and screaming as well as seeing the ghost of children.
Marquette University Johnston Hall - Which was the first building erected on the campus, a Jesuit priest (or it might have been two) threw themselves off the top floor, or the roof, and their spirits still haunt the building. Witnesses often get strange feelings whenever walking down a hall alone.
Marquette University Mashuda Hall - In one of the dorms, a girl apparently committed suicide in one of the rooms years ago, and residents who lived in the room afterwards reported poltergeist activity: sounds, flying objects, and writing on the fogged-up window. However, a priest blessed the room and performed some kind of exorcism, and the activity ceased, and hasn't returned since.
Marquette University Straz Hall - Formerly East Hall & a YMCA - little boy named Petey drowned in the pool, and his ghost still haunts the basement, and you can hear him walk toward you.
Marquette University Varsity Hall - Stagehand man was apparently smoking a cigarette while taking a break, and accidentally leaned into a huge metal fan, which killed him by cutting him into pieces.
Old Northwest General Hospital - A former worker reports On the top floor there were dozens of times that voices could be heard, women crying, ceiling tiles moved about. There was no one in the ceiling, no place to go. Often we could hear dogs barking inside the building. A security guard quit after seeing a person running and then disappearing into a wall. A doctor was murdered by his jealous wife in that area. Also, the top floor of the facility performed abortions on young un-married women. Also the ICU was on that floor. Footsteps could be heard on the main floor when they where the only one in the building, and voices from behind closed doors in the old emergency room.
The Phister Hotel - On the 8th floor, in the hotel, (the storage floor) Mr. Phister is seen walking the halls with his dog. Within the hotel, consist hundreds of paintings of dogs.
The Rave Eagles Club - This building built in the late 20's was an all male athletic club. Many areas of the building are very cold even in the heat of summer. The ballroom has access to a door that leads to the dome maintenance room which also leads to the roof has many times been investigated by security after reports of someone throwing things off the roof. When investigated no one is found, when things like empty beer cups and ashtrays have been found below. The basement floor which houses access to the pool viewing porthole and also the boiler room, has a dirt floor that security doing a sweep of the building at closing time, have felt the strong urge to leave by a presence and feeling of coldness that is overwhelming, also accompanied by a strong odor of starch or bleach smell. It is said that after it was closed and reopened as a shelter, a man that ran it was abusive and very intolerable, to the young men that stayed there. His negative energy is felt and reports of his apparition and coldness in the pool area and in the boiler room. As far as his apparition is concerned, they were reported by bar staff accompanying the security during sweeps, they were most likely under the influence of alcohol at the time. A strong sense of negative energy is felt in all parts of the building. Always felt at night when the building closes. Strange noise like shuffling feet and loud bangs can be heard while sweeping the building fro people who may hideout after a show. It may be heard in one area and when looked into the noises are heard in the area that was just secured. Unexplainable feeling of negative energy exists in the building.
River Hills Milwaukee Country Club - Spirit pats people on the shoulder at times yet is no where to be seen.
South Milwaukee Grant Park Seven Bridges - It has be rumored that if you go to Seven Bridges and walk the paths during a full moon between the times of 9:30pm and Midnight (Don't walk alone)you will see different colors of lights dancing around in the woods and if you go farther into the woods you would hear what sounds to be laughter and screams. If you are really quiet you can hear foot steps in the woods coming towards you and with those foot steps you can hear very heavy breathing, if you wait for those foot steps to come to you, you will feel a very uneasy feeling come over you like an evil feeling. It's said that adults and children have been killed there and even suicides from the people that did the killings. (WARNING! the park closes at 10:00pm, so don't park in the park after that time, park on a side street. If you get caught by police you will get ticketed). It's also rumored that if you stand on one of the bridges that a mist or an apparition of a person would happen right in front of you. The apparition could possible be one of the victims.
St. Adalbert Catholic Church/School - The school building used to be the church. Rumor has it that a boy fell to his death from the balcony. The balcony has since been walled over and converted to a room. Former teachers and students at the school attest to a strange feeling in the former balcony area. There is also a rocking chair in the attic that keeps rocking with no one around and no breeze. A strange man has been seen by staff and children in the church basement. Neighbors report that a former building on the site had a light that never went out even when the electricity was cut. Teachers also report feeling uneasy in the basement bathroom and hearing a strange “wooooooing” sound.
Saint Rafael School South Campus - This school has many haunted places included the girls bathroom where a young girl dressed in a olden day school uniform haunts it also one girl reported once that when she was alone in the building after volleyball pratice she heard people's voices coming from the gym when she went to investigate no one was there. also phantom drafts and reported noises from the upper gym when no one occupied it at the current time. this school is located on 31st and Lincoln on Milwaukee’s south side

The Bell Middle School is truth... I am about an hour and a half from there and drove by to find this out for myself. It took 3 different trips to do it, but the third drive up there to the school, there he was just as you described. I really did not notice he had no feet, as his pant legs were to the sidewalk. He is all in black though when I saw this apparation, right down to the hat. I was with a friend and we both saw the same thing. He was also wearing a long black coat, like a trench coat, but looked like it was made of wool or some other thick fiber. ..... Grand Avenue Mall, a wonderful place to shop, but it does have an eeriness that is felt as you walk through the midways. If you look into store windows, you can see someone looking back at you, and they are not on the other side of the glass as one would see people walking "through" the image looking back at you, while in that particular store ..... Marquette University, OMG.. there are so many hauntings there that it makes even my hairs stand up on my arms... I walked through some of the hallways with a friend who was a janitor there on 3rd shift. I was helping him that night and he wanted me to get a psychic imprint of some of the things that went on in there. You can hear someone swimming in the pool, but the doors are locked, lights are off.. when you open the door and turn on the lights, no one is in there and it gets almost way too quiet.. when you close the door and turn the lights out, the swimming sound starts up again. There is organ music playing in the hallways that echoes and you cannot find the source, but you do enter the room where you would think it would be, and all that is there is an organ, a cello, a harp and a piano, but no one seen and the keys are not moving as if being touched to play.. there is laughter and running down hallways and doors slamming shut.. there were conversations behind closed doors, and when they were opened, no one was in the room. Screams are heard in the boiler room as if someone was badly hurt.. breathing can be heard when you are using the restrooms, and you are the only one in there and you walk out and the mirror is all fogged up.. it feels like something is rubbing up against your legs when you stand in one intersection of hallways.. the feeling of your cheek being pinched as you turn a corner too sharply, or the sensation of bumping into something warm and solid but you cannot see anything or anyone there.. OMG, that is one real haunted place, day or night, Lol.. never been to any of the other places you have mentioned, but I may take a road trip someday and check it out, since so many of the other places have turned up best results for hauntings and apparations. |
