History of Dawn Manor Hauntings
The Haunted Room is inspired by reports of hauntings and strange happenings from past owners of Dawn Manor.
Dawn Manor’s early years in the 19th century saw the emergence of Spiritualism, a movement in which people became obsessed with trying to communicate with the dead. Seances, mediums, and other forms of contact rose in popularity during the Victorian Era. The invention of photography caused the introduction of spirit photography, which attempted to capture photos of ghosts and other spirits.
There are many rumored ghosts around the region from the era Dawn Manor was built, including Leroy Gates, who was a river pilot in Wisconsin Dells from 1849 to 1858.
