Don’t let the name fool you, Boy Scout Lane sounds pleasant enough, but it is actually one of the most haunted places in Wisconsin.
The dead-end road was named in honor of some Boy Scouts who died there during a camping trip many years ago, but records are sketchy with regard to how they actually died.
As you might imagine this means that there are a number of versions of the tale floating around. Some say that the boys were murdered by their bus driver while others believe they simply went missing in the woods and were never found.
Yet more stories suggest that one scout dropped a kerosene lantern accidentally and started a fire that killed the rest of his troop.
Whatever the true story is, visitors agree that if you visit Boy Scout Lane at night you are likely to see the light of a solitary lantern bobbing through the trees.
It is said that this is either someone searching for the lost scouts or perhaps the spirit of the one who started the fire.
