HAUNTED WHITEWATER

The Second Salem

Whitewater, WI is notoriously known for its hauntings and haunted places. Maybe you've heard of the legends of the Witches of Whitewater Lake and graveyards that create an isosceles triangle. Whitewater’s supernatural history has earned it the nickname, “Second Salem.”

The haunted legends, lore, and stories of Whitewater are tales of witches, ghosts, strange murders, and occult practices.

Many of these stories are tied to specific locations in town including the cemeteries, a water tower, the Hamilton House, the Sweetspot Cafe, a local law office, etc.
