Episode 31 - The Second Salem with Special Guest!

Located in the southern part of Wisconsin is a city called Whitewater, which has been nicknamed The Second Salem. Since the late 1800s, spiritualism and seances were a major focal point in this college-town thanks to a school that opened here. There were lots of claims of witchcraft in the 1900s, as well as hauntings that still occur to this day. Buried in the cemeteries here are self-proclaimed witches, murderers and potential serial-killers. Every single thing that could potentially check a box on a list of what makes a town creepy can be found here. Join us today as we go through some of the history and spooky claims, as well as having a special guest who talks about her personal experiences while going to school in this town!
