Haunted Places Near Sheboygan:
Sheboygan County Asylum
N3773 Garden Parkway, Sheboygan Falls, WI
The Sheboygan County Hospital for the Insane was a former lunatic asylum serving Sheboygan County, Wisconsin. Opened in 1876 in Winooski, it was replaced in 1882 with a larger facility in Sheboygan, which underwent several expansions before closing in 1940.
It was succeeded by Sheboygan County Comprehensive Health Care Center in Sheboygan Falls, which operated from 1940 to 2002 and is reputedly haunted, in part because of confusion with the asylum. The empty medical center building has attracted attention due to rumors it is haunted and that nurses committed suicide.
