This hotel was certified haunted by the Wisconsin Ghost Investigations team in March 2002. They reported orbs, ectoplasm mists, and apparitions in photos. Investigators encountered cold and hot spots, unusual odors, sounds of breaking glass in the bar, sounds of a child running upstairs, a flute being played, undecipherable whispering, furniture moving in rooms, and sounds of a woman crying on the 2nd floor. They also captured a shadow man on film with a moving object. The ghosts are believed to be former owner William Karsten Sr., his 5-year-old grandson Billy, housekeeper Agatha, and another unknown male presence. The hotel remains operational and rooms can still be rented.
