Located in the northeast region of Wisconsin, the Summerwind Mansion is one of the oldest and most popular tales of a haunted house in America. Beginning in the early 1900s, several owners who have lived at Summerwind have experienced unexplained and disturbing paranormal activity. From ghostly apparitions, creepy voices and shadow figures, corpses found in hidden crawlspaces, and the house’s apparent ability to change its shape, the Summerwind Mansion remains as a favorite scary legend among the locals.
Though the house is now just a site of burnt ruins, the mansion had a dark history of paranormal events. Three different owners experienced strange and disturbing occurrences during their stay. The first owner, Robert Lamont, was so startled by the sudden appearance of a spirit that he fired his pistol at it. The Hinshaw Family lasted only six months before being driven away by the wide range of disturbing and frightening experiences, to the point that the husband and wife had mental breakdowns. Finally a man named Raymond Bober wrote a book detailing his time staying at the mansion, claiming that the dimension and layout of the house would change overnight without any explanation.
Is there any legitimacy to the claims of the haunting at Summerwind? Are all these events just a coincidence, or is there something unknown underlying and tying together the plights of these three owners? Listen in and hear all about this fascinating haunting!
