The railroad tracks off 72nd St.
One day, a young mother lost her two sons near these railroad tracks. After desperately attempting to locate them, she became so saddened that she laid her body on the railroad tracks and waited to be killed. A moment before the train came, the boys jumped out the bushes where they were hiding just in time to witness their mother being killed. The boys were later admitted to a mental institution and can be seen walking along the tracks every July as restless spirits.

Comment by Kelly | 03.9.2006 | 5:35 pm
wow, thats really sad
Comment by Vanessa | 05.14.2006 | 12:23 pm
This story does not make any sense. Think about it. Why would the mother not try to find her kids and just lay in front of a train?
Comment by scarlett ohara | 06.2.2006 | 9:48 pm
If you read the story Scarlett Ohara then you would know the mother went looking for them. On that note it was a very good story.
THAT MAKES SENCE!!!!
Comment by Joshua Wozniak | 06.6.2006 | 9:32 pm
Joshua,
What doesn’t make sense is that you don’t know how to spell sense. Go back to school, idiot!
Comment by Big Bill | 06.7.2006 | 1:40 am
She thought her kids would just vanish into thin air? Ok, I can except that. But where is the proof that this happened? Is there an article somewhere?

Guess she didn’t look hard enough ;o)
Comment by scarlett ohara | 06.30.2006 | 7:30 pm
This Story IS NOT true! I’ve Seen It with my own eyes.I went to the Tracks so Get this story right! Youre just leading everyone to the Site Where its “haunted” For nothing? What a waste.
Not trying to be rude..but..AHHHH! lol
Comment by PandaBlaze34 | 07.9.2006 | 1:21 pm
Thank u for your honesty. I live in wis. I really want to see a real ghost.
Comment by allen | 07.12.2006 | 10:48 pm
I think the story makes a lot of sense but what I don’t understand why doesn’t she call the police or scream if you don’t come out I am leaving and then i am sure they would come out that is what I do with my kids and they come just play it as a game until you find them and if you don’t then call the police but never commit sucide thats just retarded and anybody who does commit sucide is retarded not trying to sound rude. And anyone who tries should die and they should go to hell. I think that is where they go anyway and if you try and don’t die I think you should go to hell or a mental instution.
Comment by Krystina | 07.21.2006 | 8:14 pm
Krystina u deserve to die and go to hell so I hope u die a painful death and rot painfully in hell dumb ****** two faces fat *** *****. DIE *****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Big Bill r u just here to critice us? Leave a normal coment u ******* idoit
Comment by back-off | 08.23.2006 | 7:48 pm
Panda,
If only you knew better…places can have paranormal activity and not be haunted…meaning people can still see ghosts near the rail road but not on a daily basis.
Comment by anonymous | 08.24.2006 | 8:39 pm
Ok I think some of you need to study up on your paranormal ctivity. Just because you didn’t feel anything or see anything doesn’t mean it’s false. If you truely believed in ghosts and spirits and such you will see something or at least feel the presence.
Comment by shayna | 10.2.2006 | 10:38 pm
I don’t believe it.
Comment by Amber | 10.13.2006 | 10:44 am

okaii, hey everyone, my mom went ta that site and parked her car and shut if off on thsoe railroad tracks. then suddenly her car begun moving over teh tracks, she got out and there were hand prints on the back of her car. It is true…
Comment by Tristin | 10.16.2006 | 2:38 pm
I’m a 20-year Point townie, and I’ve never heard this story before. I highly doubt it.
Comment by Brent | 10.18.2006 | 11:00 pm
Seriously, people, learn something about spirits. Just because you went to the tracks and saw nothing doesn’t mean it’s not true. A ghost isn’t gonna run up to you and yell, “Here I am! Look, I’m a ghost!” Sometimes they don’t manifest, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t in that particular place.
Comment by Bob | 10.25.2006 | 1:58 pm
For one thing IT did not happen! Lived in this area for many decades and no such accident ever happened there. Also worked for railroad and would have heard of such a tragic incident. NO!!
Comment by Phantom | 11.1.2006 | 4:44 am

I think everyone on this page is mean. but if u dont believe in ghosts than u are really closed minded. there is nothing wrong with believing what u cant explain.so if u dont believe in ghosts then why are you on this site?
Comment by Ahmanah | 11.30.2006 | 1:22 am
Its kinda funny i live in Plover and have never heard this story doubt its true the one about the restruant in plover don’t know if a baby was killed but yes lights do go on it has been for sale for years and its completley furnished i drive by it every day on the way to work. about once a week the lights are on in a window upstairs.

Who knows a house called Beethoven Resucry? It is haunted turst mi
Comment by Stacey | 12.27.2006 | 2:42 pm
That was a cruel trick, if it ever was. It doesn’t really say anything, but if the kids jumped out of the bush….
Comment by missychristy14 | 01.13.2007 | 12:24 pm
Ok, that is a horrific story, but, what kind of mom
was she,..kill yourself? What impression is that on
kids, they need their parents, she could have called out, and threatened to go to the police, if they
didnt come out of hidding. What a thing for kids to
witness..my God!!!!…and how do their (the kids)
spirits go to the tracks, when THEY arent even dead?
just wondering on that part.
Comment by rosie | 01.20.2007 | 8:51 pm
I live in Plover, Wisconsin and this story is not true.
Comment by Tonya | 01.30.2007 | 3:52 pm
Yeah , This has never ever happened. I have resided in this area for a long *** time and I have visited every single place that has “supposed sightings.” This one has never happened. Everyone one should just drop it. It was a lame story and the way it was composed should have told you it was a phony.
Comment by Shannon | 02.3.2007 | 5:57 am
this is a bunch of ****. if the kids didnt die on the tracks she would have known . also there would have been the remains. also you said they jumped out of the bushes, so that means no remains on the tracks, so what made her think they were killed if there was no evidience, if you are going to make up a stupid story get the darn facts straight, i hate wasting my time reading rubbish, grow up.
Comment by deb | 02.14.2007 | 5:15 pm
i believe in ghosts but reread this story, it would have been on the news and no one will go the tracks and say oh my kids are dead, ill kill myself, grow up you dumb kids.
Comment by deb | 02.14.2007 | 5:17 pm
i would like to know more about the hose west bay lakei would like to lots more about that hose
Comment by sean carberry | 02.23.2007 | 7:20 pm
that’s sad. not just for the mom that committed suicide, but for the boys who had to see it happen.oh ya,i totally disagree with Krystina. nobody should go to a mental institution. if u’ve ever been in 1 of those places to visit u’d know that u idiot!!!!!!!!!!
Comment by Ice Queen | 03.8.2007 | 6:53 pm
I grew up with those tracks running through our property and while I do not think the story is accurate or based on anything that actually happened, these tracks and the area around it does contain parnormal occurances. I believe this story was produced to explain very real experiences that all of the locals are aware of. On summer nights a womans scream is heard by the tracks. Often two boys are seen walking down the tracks within 30 minutes of the scream. No one really knows who they are but they do show up every summer. Sometimes the are preceded by the sound of a steam engine train - whistle and all - no train can be seen.

Comment by White Power | 06.27.2007 | 9:17 pm
now that is something i have expierienced. my younger cousin was walking along a railroad track and all of a sudden the tracks shifted and the train went dont the track he was on. when they found him, every bone located on his back was smashed. exept for his leg bones, arm, and spine bones. the body parts were thrown off his body from the impact.
Comment by Eric | 06.27.2007 | 10:09 pm
ok this doesnt make any since.why would the boys sit there long enough in a bush for there mother to search around and finally be conviced they were dead and then when she is a bout to commit suicide just like they wanted they jump out of a bush. there just stupid. this thing is probly fake any way.
Comment by nikki | 07.27.2007 | 4:30 pm
Everyone shut up!!!!!!!!!
this story is not true if the boys were hiding where they could see the mother they wouldnt let get run over by a train and why would the mother just give up looking for her kids and think ” oh no I cant find my boys guess ill just lay down and get run over by a train now” That stupid
Comment by billy | 08.13.2007 | 3:31 pm
Try making this believable next time. Not a load of bull****. you dont die when you get admitted into and insane asylum. dumb****. Your retarded. next time, post something TRUE!!!
Comment by someone | 08.18.2007 | 11:13 am
yeah i live in racine wisconsin. there seems to be a lot of paranormal activities in wisconsin. i’ve always wanted to see ghosts myself.
Comment by zack delafield | 08.28.2007 | 8:26 pm
Wow, first of all I would like to say that I believe I have read the comments of angry high schoolers. To those of you that are aware of courtesy, respectful conversation, and communication skills. I thank you. To everyone else; some of us are here to gain information and not revel in nit-picking nastiness so if you wouldn’t mind conversing like people will read the posts it would be appreciated.
Comment by hotmammi1 | 09.5.2007 | 9:48 pm
I do agree with you hotmammi1. People should grow up and quit criticizing people for their comments on the story. Maybe ghosts do exist. Who knows. Paranormal things like could be true. It doesn’t that that every one can see the samething and it not be true. Grow up people!!!
Comment by shadow4wi | 09.26.2007 | 1:00 am
Does anyone know which house on Hwy 54 in Plover has the little girl upstairs asking you to play the piano? I used to live in Wis Rapids and always passed a Green abandoned house right before the intersection of Hwy 54 and B each time I passed the house more No Trespassing signs were posted. Is this the house? Does anyone have any more information on it? I’ve always been curious about it. TIA
Comment by Cet | 10.11.2007 | 12:14 pm
First of all, if the kids didn’t die on the tracks; how are they spirits floating around every July. And if the DID die on the tracks, how can dead people get admitted into a mental institution? Whoever made this bogus story up needs to get a proofreader before finalizing it to a website!!!!!!!
Comment by Shannon | 10.29.2007 | 8:12 am
It doesn’t make sense. The boys were dead already then they get put into an institution????
Comment by Archide | 10.29.2007 | 1:08 pm
A friend of mine went there at night once and saw this bright ball of light.
To Brent, you’ve lived in Stevens Point for 20 years and you haven’t heard of this story? That’s too bad; what would be fun is if Trivia would make that place, and all the other haunted places Trivia stones some time.

Sad!!! I hate stuff like that! Guess what? I live in haunted house in Spring Green Wisconsin and someone died in my brothers room on December 4…my birthday! I was so scared when I founed out!
Sophia AND Paige
Comment by Paige and Sophia | 11.11.2007 | 1:42 pm
I agree, the story sounds awful fishy to me. come on, why would the mother lay in front of the train ? If a mother was looking for her children, she would not think to died instead.
I think it some folklore to scare kids or whatever. They should had done it better, then what been going around.
Comment by misty | 11.12.2007 | 3:58 pm
So i was looking at this place and me and a couple of friends wanted to go to it…is it worth it or no? We have been to a lot of “haunted” places. like Paradise RD in Jefferson but nothing happened there either.
Comment by Kristy and Sarah | 11.19.2007 | 6:00 pm
This is just another MADE UP tale by someone who failed thier English Literature class. It’s totally bogus. This story never happened in this area of this town.
