Ghost Sightings in Shawano, Wisconsin

Most of us have gathered around a campfire at night after roasting marshmallows and constructing 'smores to tell of a creepy ghost story. The telling of these tales has been tradition throughout the ages. It can be fun to feel spooked by a goose-bump-inducing ghost story. Told by a proficient storyteller and it can be downright hair raising!

Whether you believe in ghosts or not, there are some who claim to have had a ghostly experience or actually have seen a ghost. There are even those who go out with the purpose of locating ghosts. These people are called ghost hunters.

These self-proclaimed ghost experts will likely tell you that there are two kinds of spirits you may come across. The first is a spirit not likely to be dangerous, that used to be a human. This spirit may not even know they're dead and may be here due to some unfinished business. Think the movie Sixth Sense. The second kind of spirit is not good and was never human. These are not as common to encounter and can be dangerous.

So where have these ghosts been seen? Across the United States, there have been many claims of haunted houses and actual ghost sightings. Since I live in Shawano, Wisconsin, I will fill you in on sightings in this location.

After living in Shawano for most of my life, I can tell you that going years back I remember hearing of a haunted house or ghostly place. Someone apparently went into said haunted house and ended up hurt and bleeding between shattered glass already in the house and some spirit force. I can't say whether or not I really believed it, because I didn't experience it. It's hard sometimes to believe in things we don't personally experience, and even then we can be left in a gray area. Among the locals, there are skeptics. By the way some of the people act in this community, I'd say they should think twice before not believing in possession by benevolent forces! Hey, this is my home town so I can say this. Back to ghosts.
