Is Wisconsin particularly haunted?

I have been catching up on the last few issues of County Highway, "America’s Only Newspaper". As I noted previously, it's a very interesting paper but it generally avoids the Upper Midwest. That changed 3 issues ago with an article about Wisconsin supper clubs by Meaghan Garvey.

Read the opening line:

"It's been said that Wisconsin has more ghosts per square mile than any state in America..."

Who has said this? I have lived in Wisconsin for over 37 years and don't recall ever hearing this claim. Anyone ever heard this?

Regardless, it's a fine way to open a piece.

I appreciate the reference to the Rouse Simmons a couple sentences later, though. The article was illustrated with a few ads including a couple for Lehman's Supper Club and, upon seeing them, I immediately said to myself, "I know that one! I've been there!"
