We know a tavern owner that claims to actually have spoken with one of her dead relatives.  He will on occasion communicate with her.  She has also experienced other ghosts and ghost activities.  She will smell certain scents that used to be associated with some of the deceased.  She says that she asked this one particular deceased person if they could see their dead friends and family and his response was that he could see them but could not communicate with them.  He didn’t know why.  He told her he would come back to visit with her again “If they will let him”.  Their communication now is by moving objects in a certain manner to indicate a “yes” or “no” to her questions.  She says you have to believe in ghosts for them to appear to you.  Also, if they do, they should appear to you 3 days after their death.

On one of our investigations at Lawrence Cemetery, we had split off from the group because I needed to go back to the truck to get fresh batteries.  That left 3 people on one end of the cemetery and 2 other on the other end which were about 40 -50 feet apart from each other.  One investigator was about to set down his digital recorder on a gravestone right at the edge of the cemetery and commanded any spirit to show themselves.  Before he reached the headstone he suddenly heard loud thick branches on the ground breaking.  Faster than any animal or person could do.  The sound came from right in the middle of the shrubs and came right after him and stopped just before it would of hit the grass of the cemetery at breakneck speed.  None of he branches or foliage of the shrubs moved a bit.  There was no rustling of anything except for the sound of the breaking branches.  Heavy snapping, that only the weight of a person could of made yet no one or anything was there.  He was naturally startled and didn’t think to turn on his recorder as he dashed away somewhat and looked back and nothing was there.  As the noise started, he did see a shadow about 4 to 5 feet tall and not human like.  Nothing ever went back into the woods to retreat either.  It came from nowhere and went back to nowhere.  I had come back at that point with 2 other investigators and we went to check out that spot and take photos.  There was a strange glow on a weedy area about 2 feet in diameter on just one plant.  The moon was out but the foliage was too thick for moonlight to penetrate and get through to that area.  I did take a picture, we all seem to remember and think I took it from the left side of the tombstone but when I put the picture on the computer, it was shown as taken from the right side of the headstone.  Nothing appeared in the photo.

One of our investigators has also seen something unexplainable while deer hunting.  This happened in the same woods he hunts on several occasions.  This happened about the same time of day, around 5pm.  He saw what is hard to put into words but he describes it as a “mirror” or rippling water type sight several feet high and slightly narrower go flying past him.  He said it made a whooshing sound as it sped past him.  He said you could see through it but it had some shine to it and a wavey effect.  To this day he still doesn’t know what it could of been.

We know of a guy that used to live in the Racine area that would drive up through Sprague Wisconsin toward Neillsville on Hwy 80 to hunt deer during rifle season.  This was over 20 years ago.  He would travel this route on the Friday night before opening season the next  day.  About 7pm in the same area on this stretch of road 3 years in a row, he encountered a ghost and didn’t know it until later on.  He would swerve for this drunk in the middle of the road holding a whiskey bottle and finally got tired of running off the road so stopped into a local tavern and asked someone what that drunk was doing out in the middle of the road every deer season when he drove through.  Everyone laughed and said that that man had been dead for over 10 years.  Needless to say, he stopped traveling that route.  Rumor has it that the man was run over the night before a rifle season and left for dead.  We did take a run out to this area on a Friday night before rifle season to check this out for ourselves but we didn’t see anything of the sort.  We video taped the entire ride and went up and down the road about 5 times.  The tape revealed nothing either.
