Ever wondered what kinds of ghosts and ghouls are hiding in our fair state? Our Driftwood staff profiles some of the most haunted locations in Wisconsin.
Hotel Hell
Located in Maribel, Wisconsin, the Maribel Caves Hotel is now referred to by locals as Hotel Hell. From the mysterious fire that started it all to the supposed hauntings, Hotel Hell really earned its nickname.
It was built in 1900 and was known to travelers as a luxury spa and hotel in a beautiful location. During its time in operation, it was said that it was inhabited by a couple of famous gangsters by the names of Al Capone and John Dillinger.
In 1931, the hotel was bought by Adolph Cherney, who was the owner and operator of a local construction company. He and his family lived there until his eventual death, which was preceded by his daughter’s, who passed under unusual circumstances.
The hotel was eventually reopened by its new owner, Jeff Miller, in 1981. It became known for its alleged hauntings. The hotel stayed open until 1985 when a fire, with no known cause, burned everything but its limestone shell.
Rumor has it that the ruins of Hotel Hell are more haunted than ever. People have reported seeing a man walk through the hotel remains, peering out the windows. Visitors have also reported feeling cold hands touch them when they visit the ruins alone, seeing things move, and hearing screaming coming from the caves that lie beneath the remains of the old Maribel Caves Hotel.

Takeout may be one of the best things you can treat yourself to; there’s no cooking involved, no prepping of ingredients, and no planning ahead of time for anything. You just make the call, tell them your order, and put your feet on the table.
Solo dates are a great way to spend a little alone time with one of the most important people in your life: yourself!

Below is a list of five solo date ideas that could be fun for you!
Coffee, it makes the world go ’round. Making coffee sure is cheaper at home, but we all love to splurge on the good stuff every now and then. Every Saturday, and sometimes Fridays, I gather my computer and notebook and head to a coffee shop for the day while I complete homework. I’ve always loved the mood of coffee shops, and the smells that fill the building, but due to COVID-19, many have had to limit their hours, or have switched to “take-out only” entirely. Through trial and error, I have found three coffee shops in the Green Bay area that I continue to find myself coming back to time and again.
