The Creepiest Town in Wisconsin
Aside from the story of the Witches Tower, I’ve been slacking on bringing Whitewater legends to Wisconsin Frights. Since I was already telling the strange stories of Wisconsin spiritualists (see: Wisconsin Governor Who Talked to the Dead and Did a Ghost Kill John Sullivan?) it seemed to be a good time to finally share the story of Morris Pratt’s “Spook Temple” and other tales from the town so steeped in legend it’s earned the nickname “Second Salem.”
See it here: Mary Worth, Morris Pratt, and the Legends of Whitewater
I threw together this short video to go with it:
@wisconsinfrights Is Whitewater the creepiest town in Wisconsin? Here’s a quick look at some of the haunted legends of Second Salem. #wisconsin #weirdwisconsin #hauntedwisconsin #haunted #hauntedplaces #paranormal #occult #travel #travelwisconsin #discoverwisconsin #explorewisconsin #creepy #onlyinwisconsin #wisconsinlife #wisconsincheck #uwwhitewater #hauntedtiktok #wisconsinlegend #spiritualism #wisconsinhistory #darktourism #travelguide #seance #witchcraft #secondsalem
The photos in the video were taken from an expedition to Whitewater a few years ago, which I wrote about on Cult of Weird: Monsters, Murderers and Spirit Mediums in Whitewater
