4 Ghost Tours That Give You a Terrifying Glimpse Of Wisconsin’s Dark Side

Wisconsin has many haunted stories and places to share, but if you really want to dive into the state's creepy side, go on one of its most popular ghost tours.

'Tis the Season for Scary

The calendar might not say it's officially Fall yet, but Labor Day weekend has come and gone, so many minds are now preoccupied with thoughts of pumpkins, costumes, and ghosts.

One of my favorite things about fall is Halloween. I love decorating my home up in its spooky best, and I love dressing up in costumes. The only thing I don't get into each Halloween is the super gorey and scary stuff, simply because I am a huge wimp.

Scary movies always give me nightmares and creepy creatures jumping out at me in haunted houses is definitely not something I love, yet I am completely fascinated by hearing 'real life' haunted stories.

Wisconsin's Scariest Ghost Tours

If your fear factor leans more toward touring haunted places than traipsing through fake blood and guts, Wisconsin has a ton of creepy tour options for you to look into.

In fact, Wisconsin has so many haunted tour options to choose from, I thought it would be best to see which ones Trip Advisor travelers recommend as the very best.

Here are 4 of the best, top-rated ghost tours to take in Wisconsin according to Trip Advisor;
