Wisconsin – Maribel Caves Hotel, Maribel
First opened in 1900 as a therapeutic hotel and spa due to the natural springs, Maribel Caves Hotel is now known to the locals as “Hotel Hell.” Everyone died in a fire in the 1930s and you can still find some remains on the third floor, which is inaccessible due to a tornado destroying a lot of what was left.
Yeah, that sounds like hell. Hell is accurate. This wasn’t the first fire, either; it was the third. Other rumors surrounding the property are plentiful— murdering psychopath killing guests before committing suicide, Al Capone being a frequent guest, bootleggers regularly stopping by during prohibition—one can only imagine the ghosts that call Maribel Caves Hotel home. Sounds like someone or something otherworldly really had it out for this place.
You missed the boat on New Jersey! THE JERSEY DEVIL is most definitely the official haunting creature of the Garden State. Long before NJ was even a state, the legend of the Jersey Devil began. It was the 13th child of Mrs Leeds, who had no desire for another baby. According to legend, she cursed the baby even before it was born. At its birth, the creature assumed otherworldly dimension and flew up the chimney of the home. Since then, the Devil regularly haunts the Pine Barrens of New Jersey, frightening all it encounters. On the eve of a National tragedy, the Devil is said to appear at many varied places in the state to warn of evils to come (most notably in December 1941, just before Pearl Harbor.)
