Walker House Inn
Many believe this old structure to be haunted. Numerous reports
have come from the people who have ventured inside:
"This
log inn, built in 1836, is haunted by a murderer who was hanged in
front of it. On November 1, 1842, William Caffee was hanged from a
scaffold erected in the yard of the inn. Before a crowd of 4,000
people, the contemptuous man rode atop his own coffin and, using two
beer bottles, drummed a funeral march on the sides of the casket.
Afterwards, his cantankerous spirit took up residence in Walker House,
and over 150 years later, his ghost still walks the halls. Employees
and guests complain of the scary sounds of heavy breathing, footsteps
on the second floor, and a presence who turns doorknobs but never opens
doors. Scary voices and poltergeist activity frequently occur in the
main dining room and kitchen. In October 1981, owner Walker Calvert saw
Caffee's headless ghost sitting on a bench on the back porch. The
phantom stayed visible for several minutes. That same month, a waitress
saw the ghost, this time with a head, walking on the second floor."
(Mineral Point is in Iowa County in the southwestern corner of
Wisconsin, at the junction of U.S. Hwy 151 and Hwy. 23. Walker
House Inn has been open and closed to the public numerous times over
the last several decades.)
