One, in particular, may be worth checking out. Here’s the story of Bloody Bride Bridge, said to be the most haunted bridge in Wisconsin.

Bloody Bride Bridge isn’t, of course, the official name of this said-to-be haunted bridge in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. However, its moniker does hint as to what drivers can expect.

What are some other ghost stories about Wisconsin?

There are several spine-tingling ghost stories about Wisconsin that you'll want to hear. Here are some of the most notorious ghost stories about Wisconsin.

  • High Cliff State Park: Because High Cliff State Park is located among effigy mounds, it is a hotbed of paranormal activity and is believed to be one of the most haunted places in Wisconsin. Many people have reported seeing spirits or hearing noises at night.
  • Maribel Caves: Maribel Caves was actually a hotel in the past, earning it the nickname "Hotel Hell." It burned to the ground, apparently killing everyone. Supposedly, skeletal remains are on the top story still.
  • Brumder Mansion Bed and Breakfast: This B&B is home to one of the scariest Wisconsin ghost stories. Once, blood was found in the bathtub -- but no one had used it. This place will cause you to have creepy dreams and see spirits.

 

What's the most haunted city in Wisconsin?

While there are hauntings and spooky sightings all over the Badger State, Milwaukee is, hands down, the most haunted city in Wisconsin. Here are some of the most haunted places in the most haunted city in Wisconsin:

  • The Pfister Hotel: Ghosts have supposedly tortured guests here for over a decade -- but the hauntings go deeper than that. Charles Pfister, for whom the hotel is named, is said to roam the hotel. People have reported seeing other ghosts and experiencing other strange occurrences like feeling super cold or hearing creaky floors.
  • The Seven Bridges Trail: This trail, and the surrounding Grant Park, are totally haunted. The bridge entering the park says "Enter this wild wood and view the haunts of nature." Many people over the years have killed themselves on this bridge. Looking down on the ravine from the bridge, people report seeing an almost sparkly substance and they report glowing lights, voices, and occasionally, a human screaming.
  • North Point Lighthouse: This lighthouse was originally built in 1855, and it is in one of Milwaukee's oldest public parks. Lots of strange activity has been reported here. There have been reports of children screaming when children are nowhere around. There are also cold spots and a general feeling of being unwelcome. Shiver.
