It was snowing, so the abandoned infant was named Snowflake. She lived to be 12, and at least according to some legends, loved the hotel so much that she has never left. Snowflake showed up periodically at the foot of guests' beds for years. There are neon beer signs in the three windows to the right of the front door. Name one of the beers.

As recently as 2008, police have been contacted regarding a tall, caped figure with a white face harassing and terrorizing residents, as well as trespassing in cemeteries after dark. On each occasion, police arrived on the scene and the figure ran. When the police gave chase, the “vampire” would disappear without a trace, at one point easily scaling a 10′ concrete wall. Allen Ludden of Password fame the 60's game show is buried here at Graceland cemetery, coincidence? I don't think so. Waypoint is at the grave site.

HCR - Heaven City Restaurant – Mukwonago, WI Points: 1200 N42° 52.654' W88° 18.182' Heaven City was named after the failed religious commune started by AJ Moore and Madam Talcott in Mukwonago during the 1930s, and since the restaurant’s opening, customers and employees have reported strange things happening there. Odd thumping noises would occur, ghostly apparitions would pop up unexpectedly, and even a flowery, lilac perfume scent would fill the entire restaurant at random times. Could it just be a coincidence the founder of the religious commune, Madam Talcott, reportedly wore lilac perfume back when she was still alive? The restaurant is presently closed. Towards the road from the restaurant there is a large carving from a dead tree of a Native American.
