Over the past few weekends, the Wausau Paranormal Research Society hosted it's annual tour of Wausau's most famous haunts in the downtown area. They're walking tours that last about 1 1/2 hours where you learn all about our city's spooky residents. There's Larry, the former stage manager who haunts his beloved Grand Theater; Bob, the cranky spirit haunting the Rogers Theater; Martha, the spurned lover who hanged herself in the front room of the Wausau Club; and more. Alice and I took the tour this time and it was delightful! Whether or not you believe in spirits (and I do) the folks in the Paranormal Research Society put on a fun, informative show that is rich with our city's history. You can find a list of famous haunts here:

Fun stuff - and well worth the $5 admission.
The photo is a 1925 shot of the Sanitorium, which I believe sits on what is now the site of the Elks Club. A man in a white coat is said to haunt the club, which some speculate is the spirit of a doctor who once worked at the Sanitorium.
