The Kozy Korner Restaurant is no longer in operation, but who knows whether anyone told the ghost boy who frequents it. The ghost was unknown until a photograph of a boy who resembles the apparition turned up; locals have learned that the ghost’s name is Carl.
Kozy Korner Restaurant
Fork in the Road
Once called Inn the Olden Days, the Fork in the Road restaurant used to be a tavern in its early days. This may explain the ghostly footsteps and the sound of pool balls hitting each other and rolling across the floor. Vaporous clouds and voices also have been seen and heard in the storage areas.
Heaven City Restaurant
Heaven City Restaurant’s supernatural activity is attributed to the fact that it sits on an Native-American burial ground. Apparitions have been seen wandering through the eatery and glasses have fallen and broken after closing time.
Tula's Cafe
The ghost of a man who once died on the premises haunts Tula’s Café. Witnesses have described a misty figure that appears in the back hallway near the restrooms, near where the man passed away. Cold spots and objects that have been moved also startle witnesses.
Wisconsin Lutheran College
Established in 1973, the Wisconsin Lutheran College is believed to have 6 ghosts. One is an evil presence; another is a group of children who laugh eerily. There are also a singing nun, a mother superior, a janitor and a poltergeist.
Marquette University
There are several spots at Marquette University rumored to be haunted. One is the Helfaer Theater where a deceased artistic director’s apparition has been seen and unexplained banging erupts on the catwalks. Another is the Humphrey Hall dorm building, which was once a children’s hospital. Ghostly children have been captured on security camera monitors and heard laughing, crying, singing or screaming. At Johnston Hall, the ghost is rumored to be a Jesuit priest who committed suicide by throwing himself off the top floor. Another suicide victim haunts Mashuda Hall, and until her room was blessed, her ghost emitted sounds, sent objects flying and wrote messages on foggy windows. Straz Hall was once the East Hall and a YMCA building where Petey, a small boy, drowned in the basement pool. He haunts the basement still, audibly walking toward witnesses in the vicinity. And at Varsity Hall, there’s a ghost of a stagehand who suffered a gruesome death when he fell into a large fan and was cut to pieces.
Cardinal Stritch University
Students like to scare one another with tales about the Cardinal Stritch dorms, where sickly nuns were allegedly housed long ago and one of them is said to still linger. The ghostly nun is said to tear posters off walls, cause objects to fall, and walk or run up and down the halls.
Concordia University Wisconsin
At Concordia University Wisconsin, students have reported quite a few ghostly occurrences, thought to have been brought on when nuns sold the buildings to the school. One of the nuns, whom students call Sister Sixtoes, allegedly didn’t want to give up her home and remained until her death in the chapel. The nun is said to haunt the chapel and three dorm buildings: Coburg, Catherine and Augsburg. Witnesses have seen a ghostly outline on the stairs near the chapel and noticed things in their dorm rooms had been moved. Electrical appliances and lights turn on and off without cause here as well.
McClintock Park
Rumor has it that ghosts haunt McClintock Park. Strange noises and orbs that show up in photos are said to be the remnants of murders that have taken place in the area years ago.
Rhode Center for the Arts
Rhode Center for the Arts began in 1927, and in its past has been known as the Lake Theater and the Gateway Theater. The home of the community theater group Lakeside Players is haunted, say witnesses who have heard voices and other noises and seen the ghost of a man.
