Real Haunted Houses

Real Haunted House

Nashotah House Seminary

Nashotah, Wisconsin

The grounds of this Episcopal seminary have been inhabited since the 1500s, and have been inhabited by a ghost since the mid-1700s. When an acolyte to the Episcopal priesthood attended this seminary, his wife had an affair with the Dean. To accommodate this affair, the woman hanged her husband; it was ruled a suicide, however. Since committing suicide is a mortal sin, the acolyte was buried in a cornfield rather than the cemetery. On her deathbed, the cheating wife confessed to her crime. The seminary wished to rightfully bury the body, so they exhumed the casket only to find that it was empty. It is said that the acolyte still haunts the grounds trying to get justice.

Ok, there’s a serious problem with this story. The ONLY WAY these grounds could have been inhabited in the 1500’s is if the inhabitants were Native Americans. The first European settlement in North America (if we don’t count the Vikings…) was Jamestown, Virgina in 1620. And that town didn’t survive long…but I’ll spare any further history lesson.

Also FYI…there are TWO Sarahs posting on this site. My grammar and spelling is much better than the other Sarah’s. Please don’t confuse us. ;)

While the Dates may be wrong and early. I live down the street from this place and have been hearing this ghost story for my entire life. While details may be a little different and off, I think it’s awsome to finally see this written down!!

I lived at the seminary and this is all wrong. It was NOT an Episcopal seminary until much later–it was a monestary. It was not an acolyte who haunts the grounds, but a monk who was murdered by another monk. The empty casket part holds true, though. Amusingly enough, the Nashotah House football team call themselves the Black Monks, after the ghost.

I too live here on the campus and the facts including the dates are wrong. It is a monk, killed by another monk, who was never married. This was not founded as a seminary until 1842. And he was a catholic from down the road who could not be buried in their cemetary because he was thought to have commited suicide and is buried somewhere here on campus. He has been sited here wandering around and that is the real story.

Technically this paranormal experience could not have possibly have existed in this time eratcia. This is just a bunch of haunted jargon!

I live like right down the street from this place and didn’t know it was haunted. But I always rode around the woods in that area with my friends. It gave us the creepes so we named it children of the corn because theres corn fields everywhere so its really freaky to know its haunted

I grew up half a mile from the Nashotah House. There is a story about it being haunted, but the story here is a little off.

If you want to read the actual story, go to this article:

I have never actually seen any of the ghosts, but who knows.
