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.

Nashotah is a real place i know this because i used to live there and still only live a few miles away ive been to the place and dont think this is just some **** made up by a couple of 5th grade kids because there is actually a plaque put up by the semmitary because when they didnt find his body to bury when it wasn’t in the coffin also it refers to him as the black monk. I think he was buried in the cornfield its across the street from the semmitary.

He was a monk, and the story at the top is for the most part true diffrent dates, yet i she didn’t have an affair with the dean. It was said that he was buried across the street in the corn field, and then dug up and nothing was found. But, I should personally know I’ve lived here for about 16 years. All in all, I haven’t had any ghostly encounters- although I’ve probably just jynxed myself. & What’s more scarier than the stories, is the odd, loony people who attend school there.

I have read up on this location a number of times and found that it really never has been investigated for any true Paranormal activity. You can read all the stories you want but who has the proof that would solidify any claims that are being made about the haunting.

This why Nashotah has turned into a Diploma Mill?
