Most Haunted Places In Wauwatosa, Wisconsin To Visit
Following are the most haunted places in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, where the echoes of tragic deaths and forgotten souls linger in the darkness. These haunted spots have witnessed centuries of sorrow, and some say the spirits of the departed are not yet ready to rest.
Wauwatosa West High School
: "In the mid 70''s Wauwatosa West High school was being rebuilt on a new location. The school was more than 90 % finished, when two teenagers were messing around on the roof, while drinking, and lit the school on fire. The entire school burned down. It was reported that an immigrant worker by the name of Hans from a European country, was in the now theatre working. Hans perished in the blaze. He never worked in shoes, and is said to haunt the theatre and he always has no shoes on. You are considered to be in most dangerous to be in the theatre without shoes on. On numerous occasions while faculty has been working in the stage, lights have gone off, stage doors slamming, guest seats creaking, and stage props disappearing."
Eschweiler Buildings
: "These former TB sanitariums are located in the Milwaukee County Grounds and are now used as labs for a small bioengineering firm. The largest of the buildings is abandoned and is the site of many frightening sightings. Several people walking through the park at dusk of later have reported feeling watched, the hairs on the backs of their necks standing up. Looking into the large picture window on the second floor, many have seen a woman in white staring down at them. The sound of coughing can also frequently be heard--undoubtedly the spirits of TB victims still coughing up blood and mucus."
Potter's Field
: "A mass of unmarked graves can be found in the Milwaukee County Grounds next to the soccer field. These graves belonged to the victims of TB and the residents of the "poor farm" the county ran in the twenties and thirties (possibly earlier). This site is a hot bed for restless spirits, which can be felt as well as seen. Many people have on several occasions seen figures, including children, slowly walking through the fenced off cemetery at odd hours of the night."
