A strange man seen in a Wisconsin bar?!! Unlikely!
"Next afternoon, while on duty in the bar Mrs. H saw a little man of strange appearance, 4.5 ft tall, enter the bar with a kind of "bouncing" gait; he motioned to her to come closer and addressed her in rapid English, saying, "You saw a bright light on Friday night."

In his book "Northern Frights," author Dennis Boyer tells of a businessman's ghost seen fishing by his friends.
"Here, the long-time residents say he is displacing the older ghosts. They say he has run off the ghosts that were present at every rapids on the Wolf. Temporarily or permanently? Stronger ghostly energy or just plain dominant personality?"

Many paranormal incidents have reportedly occurred at this rural establishment.
"Pat then proceeded to the South end of the basement. On the way there she picked up on a name; 'Tommy' whom she felt was a possible child spirit. Pat also was drawn to an old high chair that she felt had some sort of spirit attachment but was unable to explain whom it may be. Pat proceeded to the fruit cellar where she explained to us that her heart was racing in that area. She also told us that she could see the spirit of a young boy who she explained had been lost. This child spirit was dressed in turn of the century clothing and had blonde hair that was cut in a bowl style. She said that the spirit was a very negative energy and that it kept asking where 'Tommy' was. Pat also told us that this boy had died as a result of drowning."

"Ghosts of America" Haunted Location Reports

| location: STATEWIDE |
The reports on this site are presumably fiction, using random Wisconsin place names in the stories listed there. Even so, you might get a kick out of reading them.
"The ghost of an aged sorceress was witnessed standing by a wild road next to Antigo. When the onlooker showed up the ghost ran off. People argue that this ghost is the stressed spirit of a former Antigo local. Anyway, it unquestionably is a scary phantom that you wouldn't wish to meet at midnight."
