Maxwell Mansion

304 S Wells St, Lake Geneva, WI 53147, United States

Built in 1856 by the flamboyant Dr. Philip Maxwell, known for 'hard drinking and wild antics,' Maxwell Mansion is reportedly rife with paranormal activity. Staff and guests report disembodied voices, self-opening/closing doors, cold spots, moving objects, and phantom figures. Notable encounters include a butler seeing a 'shadow figure,' sightings of a 'ghost child,' and tales suggest Dr. Maxwell performed 'unauthorized surgeries' in the basement, now a speakeasy bar, contributing to the mansion's eerie reputation.
