Appleton UFO Sightings

Appleton Curling Club

An apparition of a former member is still coming to the club.  Was he bored to death?  I mean, we are talking curling.

Hearthstone Mansion

Zuelke Building

Paranormal activity caused by the former owner has been reported.  Wait, that sounds just like the notation on Hearthstone Mansion.  I don't want to give you too many details because I'd like you to check out my sources, who deserve all the research credit.

"Daylight Disc Appears Over Appleton, Wisconsin"  (1996)

"The Applewolf"

During a decade-long period of sightings between 1958 and 1968, residents in this neighborhood witnessed a large, snarling, hairy beast that attacked cars and attempted to break in homes.

Sobbing Spirit  (2004)

Several locations around campus are allegedly haunted, including Ormsby Hall and two of the theatres.  An annual tour of these locations is held in the fall.

Haunted Dairy Queen

The popular purveyor of frozen treats sits in the location of a former tavern, which apparently is the source of the current ethereal activity.  So the next time you're here downing that peanut buster parfait, you may catch a glimpse of a long-dead barman trying to operate the soft-serve machine like a bar top beer tap.

Huntley Elementary

"There was a kid named "Marky" who worked, or was believed to work for the Mob in the late 20's. He had a screaming fit about the color purple, and has apparently been spotted by early teen's trying to pick them up (girls and guys). There have been stories in the paper about him, nevertheless he remains a ghost to the surrounding city folk because they know of him, and his past. Neighbors won't go near his old house, because he's said to still live in the basement. Every once in a while he's seen at night throwing fits, and convulsing & muttering something about the Mob bosses that he used to work for."
