The Old Baraboo Inn is known as one of Wisconsin's most haunted places, with a history stretching back to the Civil War. The building, which once operated as a brothel, is said to be home to as many as 30 spirits, including former owners, cowboys, and gangsters. Author and paranormal investigator Amelia Cotter's book, Where The Party Never Ended: Ghosts of the Old Baraboo Inn, delves into the inn's haunted history. In the middle of the night, loud piano music, talking, and laughing can sometimes be heard. Dishes, utensils, and glasses are known to fly off storage racks or slide across the bar. Bar stools have also been reported to flip over on their own. Patrons have witnessed spirits appearing and disappearing suddenly. Paranormal investigators have also captured videos and photographs of orbs and shadows. A woman nicknamed "Mary," believed to be a saloon dancer who bled to death in the early 1900s, has been sighted in the bar area. In the inn's basement, a strong presence is said to indicate its approval or disapproval to people near the walk-in cooler. Other unexplained occurrences include strange odors, disembodied voices, and personal electronics being mysteriously drained of power. Former owners of the establishment are among the documented spirits. Al Capone: The notorious gangster and his associates reportedly frequented the inn's basement. Some psychics have reportedly been unable to stay in the basement for more than 30 minutes. Other documented spirits include an elderly woman, an elderly man, a woman in a Victorian dress, and a cowboy.
