Let's start with Illinois. The most haunted place in our state is really no surprise. It's old Joliet Prison. It might sound familiar because it's been used for both movies and TV shows. It was home to some of the most notorious criminals of all time. The ghosts of former inmates haunt the place.

For Wisconsin, the most haunted place is not exactly what you would expect and the complete opposite of Old Joliet Prison. It's the Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee which is a really nice place. It's the hotel of choice in Brew City for pro athletes and celebrities. Many who have had paranormal experiences.

Old Joliet Prison now hosts events including a Blues Brothers festival which was filmed in the facility. Some Major League baseball players refuse to stay at the Pfister Hotel because they've had paranormal experiences.
