The basement at Dodgeville

Wisconsin · United States · Haunted site

After nine in the evening things come off the shelves downstairs, an appalling smell fills the building, and the door beepers go off continuously.

Staff at this shop in Dodgeville, Wisconsin describe the basement changing character after nine in the evening.

Things fly off the shelves and hit the floor. A powerful stench fills the building. The door beepers go off and keep going off.

That is usually the whole of it. Occasionally there is more.

The door sensors are the useful part. They are electronic, they are triggered by something breaking a beam, and a shop has a reason to care when they misbehave because staff have to respond to them.

A smell is also difficult to talk yourself into. It arrives whether or not you were thinking about anything, and everybody in the building notices it at once.

Dodgeville is in the driftless country of southwest Wisconsin, and the older commercial buildings there sit on stone cellars.

The premises are a working shop.
