The Kewaunee Inn (once the Karsten Hotel) is close to Lake Michigan, Green Bay - and the supernatural.
The building turned 100 years old in 2012. In 1966, work was done on the hotel, and it seems that this operation brought out the spirits of three people once attached to the hotel - a former owner, his grandson, and a maid.
Why the maid (Agatha Struck) haunts the inn is a mystery; she was not an owner, and she didn't die on the premises. Rumor has it that she was in love with a former owner; if so, given the fact that they both haunt the place, she may be happy now. She has been seen performing her old duties, such as sweeping the halls. One guest who stayed in 310, Agatha's old room, watched, freezing, as a filmy wraith floated through the wall. She is known to move objects, especially when the inn was renovated in 1984; Agatha showed her displeasure by hiding tools, opening and closing doors, and turning lights on and off.
William Karsten, Sr., has been seen having an ethereal beer in the bar. Like Agatha, he moves things (in his case, furniture) when upset; he also causes a foul odor to show his unhappiness.
Billy Karsten, William's grandson, died of meningitis at the age of five. Living children have played with a little boy on the second floor, a boy who looks strikingly like the photo of Billy. He has also been heard running down the hall to his grandfather's room.
