Wisconsin's "ghost ship," the L. Wade Childress, is located off County Highway K just north of Prairie Du Chien. Originally built in 1948, it served as a tugboat on the Mississippi River until it sank during a harsh winter. After being raised, it was moved to its current spot and is now known for its spooky presence. Over time, the ship has gained a reputation for being haunted. Stories and rumors include failed plans to turn it into a bed and breakfast. Although these plans were never realized, and the ship is not open to tourists, it still attracts visitors, thrill-seekers, and paranormal enthusiasts. People often report eerie feelings, strange lights, and mysterious figures near the ship. Today, despite its slow deterioration, the L. Wade Childress remains an important part of Wisconsin's history and folklore.
