Mike Huberty • January 9, 2026

Experience Winter Magic and Lore on Lake Geneva's Shores

Venture into the shadowy past of Lake Geneva on this spine-tingling 30-minute ghost tour through the town's most haunted locations during Winterfest. As winter's icy grip transforms this historic lakeside community into a landscape of shadows and frost, the veil between worlds grows thin, and the spirits of Lake Geneva's storied past emerge from the darkness. This chilling walking tour combines the town's rich supernatural heritage with the eerie beauty of winter, taking you past the haunted mansions, spectral shorelines, and historic buildings where unexplained phenomena have been reported for generations. From ghostly figures spotted near the frozen Riviera Docks to the mysterious apparitions that wander Main Street's century-old buildings, you'll discover why Lake Geneva is not only a premier winter destination but also one of the Midwest's most haunted towns. Bundle up, bring your courage, and prepare for an unforgettable journey into the paranormal... where history, mystery, and winter magic collide in the most haunting way possible.
