Stories surrounding the haunting of St. Kilian's Catholic Cemetery in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, primarily focus on the spirit of a former priest and a history of unusual events at the site of the former church. The most prominent legend involves the ghost of a German priest who once served the church that was located on the cemetery grounds. According to the story, the priest died in a violent manner, and his restless spirit is said to remain, wandering the cemetery grounds. Ghost hunters have reported capturing sounds of an old church bell, though the church was demolished in 2002. The original German church, described as a "little cathedral in the country," was at the heart of the cemetery's haunted history. The church fell into disrepair and was demolished by the Lake Geneva Fire Department during a practice drill. In a particularly eerie turn, its bell was reportedly stolen. Rumors also circulate that the church's basement was used by Satanists for rituals, adding to the cemetery's dark and foreboding reputation. Paranormal investigators and visitors to the cemetery report an unsettling feeling when visiting the site. The graveyard is home to a giant tree stump, and some visitors feel a lingering presence, even with the absence of the old church. The combination of a troubled past, a destroyed church, and the alleged presence of a restless priest has cemented St. Kilian's reputation as a chilling location for paranormal enthusiasts.
