Summary

Tucked away in rural Wisconsin, The Humbird Historic Bar and Hotel looks like the kind of place where time simply slowed down. Built in 1869, it has welcomed generations of travelers, offered warm meals, stiff drinks, and shelter from the world outside.

But not every guest left.

Tragedy touched The Humbird early in its history, including a deadly smallpox outbreak that claimed lives within its walls. Today, the building still serves visitors—but staff and guests alike report encounters that suggest the past is very much present. Footsteps echo in empty rooms. Doors open on their own. And some visitors leave with the feeling that someone was watching long after last call.

Today on The Grave Talks: The Humbird Historic Bar and Hotel, a conversation with owners Matt Hawkes and Elizabeth Havenor.
