Is there an insane asylum in Wisconsin that’s haunted? 

As a matter of fact, allegedly, there is! Tucked away within Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin is the old Sheboygan County Asylum. It opened in 1876 and during its lifetime it was no stranger to pain and suffering. It closed for the first time in 1940, reopened later that same year, and operated until it was demolished in 1960. The asylum moved to another building on the property that year as well, and it continued to operate as Sheboygan County Comprehensive Health Care Center until 2002.
