On this episode of Paranormal Coffee Hour, Jenn and Cortney, as well as their guest hosts Jake and Emily Dixon, bring you to the southeastern part of Wisconsin to a seemingly sleepy college town FILED with spirits.  Whitewater, Wisconsin is home to the University of Wisconsin Whitewater, but it also has a storied past as the USA's Second Salem.  Witches have reportedly roamed this town since it's beginning and even the first Spiritualist School was started here.  Not only is there paranormal activity, but somehow the Butcher of Plainfield, and the inspiration for some of the most horrific horror movies (Psycho, Texas Chainsaw, Silence of the Lambs) Ed Gein , is tied to this unassuming midwestern town.  Listen in to find out what makes Whitewater Wisconsin such a creepy place.
